FVG & OB Quality ScorerICT FVG & OB Quality Scorer
Core idea: Not all Fair Value Gaps and Order Blocks are created equal. This indicator answers the question "Which FVG or Order Block will actually work?" by scoring every detected zone on 10 confluence pillars derived from ICT's (InnerCircleTrader) 2022–2024 Mentorship methodology.
How It Works
Every time an FVG or Order Block forms on the chart, the indicator runs it through a 10-factor scoring engine (each factor scored 0–10, total 0–100):
# Pillar What It Checks
❶ Displacement / CISD Was the move impulsive? Body > 70% of candle range = institutional candle. Also checks for Change in State of Delivery (close crossing prior candle's open).
❷ Liquidity Sweep Was BSL or SSL taken before the zone formed? Checks swing pivots, Prior Day High/Low, and IPDA 20-day levels.
❸ Premium / Discount Bullish zones in discount (< 50% of range) score high. Bearish zones in premium (> 50%) score high.
❹ Market Structure Is the zone aligned with the current trend (BOS)? With-trend = 10, counter-trend = 1.
❺ HTF Bias Does the Daily (configurable) candle direction agree with the zone? Misalignment = low probability.
❻ OTE Fibonacci Is the zone inside the 62%–79% Optimal Trade Entry retracement? The 70.5% "sweet spot" scores perfect 10.
❼ FVG + OB Overlap Is there a confluence zone where an FVG and Order Block exist at the same price level? This is ICT's highest-probability setup.
❽ Volume Was displacement volume above the 20-bar average? 3x+ average = clear institutional activity.
❾ Kill Zone Timing Formed during London KZ, NY AM KZ, or Silver Bullet windows? "Time supersedes price."
❿ Freshness First-touch zones score highest. Zones decay in score and fade in color as they age.
Grading Scale
Score Grade Meaning
86–100 S Elite — high conviction, full size
71–85 A/A+ Strong — tradeable with confirmation
51–70 B/B+ Above average — needs extra confluence
26–50 C/C+ Below average — watch only
0–25 D Weak — skip entirely
What You See On The Chart
Color-graded zones: Red (weak) → Orange → Gold → Green → Bright Green (elite)
FVGs = solid-border boxes labeled BISI / SIBI
Order Blocks = dashed-border boxes labeled +OB / -OB
CE line = dotted midline (Consequent Encroachment — ICT's 50% level)
MT line = solid midline on OBs (Mean Threshold — ICT's precision entry)

English Introduction
SMC Market Structure All-in-One Toolkit | FVG + BOS & CHoCH Breakout + Dynamic Defense Level + Ratio Split Line
Core Features
Fair Value Gap (FVG)
Detect standard 3-bar institutional liquidity gaps (bullish & bearish). FVG boxes turn gray once mitigated, with optional shrink function for touched zones. Adjustable max historical FVG count. Not recommended for large gap/jump markets.
SMC Structure Detection (BOS / CHoCH)
Built-in lookback algorithm to identify institutional market structure: BOS (Break of Structure, trend continuation) & CHoCH (Change of Character, trend reversal). Fully customizable line color, style, width, and limited historical breakout markers to avoid chart clutter.
Pending Fake Breakout Dashed Line
Draw temporary pending lines when price tests swing high/low without close breakout. Separate styles for regular trend fakeouts and defense level fakeouts, easily distinguish valid breaks vs liquidity hunts.
Dynamic Trend Defense Level
Auto-switch defense baseline based on current market bias: swing low for uptrend, swing high for downtrend. Temporarily shift defense level to fakeout extreme when liquidity hunt occurs, with thick solid line and text label.
Range Ratio Split Line
Auto calculate user-defined percentage split level (default 50% midpoint) over active market range, compatible with post-fakeout restructured ranges. Optional percentage value label for key order flow support/resistance zones.
Input Groups
Fair Value Gap: Toggle FVG display, color palette, mitigate shrink, max historical boxes
Market Structure: Structure lookback period, BOS/CHoCH line settings, full swing structure outline, pending fake breakout lines
Defense Level: Solid defense line config, toggle & style for defense fakeout dashed lines
Range Ratio Line: Custom split percentage, ratio line appearance, value label switch
Important Notes
Structure lookback bar count is core algorithm parameter, DO NOT modify arbitrarily; wrong value breaks defense level calculation.
This FVG logic only works for standard 3-bar gaps; performance degrades on assets with massive overnight jumps/gaps.
Built-in alert triggers on confirmed breakouts: BOS = trend continuation signal, CHoCH = trend reversal signal.
Full customization of all line width, color transparency, dash/dot/solid styles to match your chart layout preference. Indicator
Liquidity Structure Framework [PakunFX]Liquidity Sequence Framework
Liquidity Sequence Framework (LSF) is a market structure analysis indicator designed to visualize the progression of liquidity events, structure shifts, and Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) within a single analytical framework.
Instead of focusing on individual signals, the indicator organizes multiple market events into a sequential process, helping traders observe how price structure develops over time. The script combines swing structure, liquidity sweeps, trend filtering, and Fair Value Gap detection into a unified charting tool.
Features
External and Internal Swing Structure detection
Liquidity Sweep identification (SSL / BSL)
Bullish and Bearish Structure Shift detection
Automatic Fair Value Gap (FVG) detection
EMA-based trend filter
Premium / Discount (Equilibrium) filter
Configurable setup conditions
Visual sequence tracking with alerts
How it Works
The indicator monitors market structure using external and internal swing highs and lows. When liquidity is swept beyond a previous swing level, a new sequence begins. The script then tracks whether price confirms a structure shift and subsequently forms a Fair Value Gap within a configurable sequence window.
Trend filtering can be applied using Fast and Slow EMA conditions, while optional Premium / Discount and Fair Value Gap requirements allow users to customize how potential setups are displayed.
Display Elements
External Swing High / Low
Internal Swing High / Low

Equilibrium level
Setup markers
Alerts
Alerts are available for:
Liquidity Sweep
Bullish Structure Shift
Bearish Structure Shift
Bullish Sequence Setup
Bearish Sequence Setup
These alerts are intended to notify users when predefined analytical conditions are detected.
Notes
Liquidity Sequence Framework is designed as a market analysis tool. It visualizes structural relationships between liquidity events and price development but does not generate trading recommendations or predict future market direction.

Master Filter - Trend and Smart Money ZonesOverview
Master Filter combines a proprietary trend engine with the smart-money tools traders actually act on - EMA structure, Fair Value Gaps, Order Blocks and market-structure labels - in a single, clean overlay. Instead of stacking five separate indicators, you get one consistent read of where the trend is and where price is likely to react .
Everything is computed on the current chart timeframe and updates live as new bars form.
What's inside
1. The Master Filter © - trend & signals
A triple-smoothed price baseline (TEMA) is tracked against an adaptive average that follows the highs in an uptrend and the lows in a downtrend. An ATR-based channel (length 365 x multiplier, smoothed) acts as a confirmation filter that aims to suppress false flips during chop. When direction confirms, the script prints a LONG / SHORT marker on the bar. You can optionally plot the high / middle / low channel lines.
2. EMA suite + smoothed mirrors
EMA 100 / 200 / 300 / 365 for trend context, with a shaded zone between the 300 and 365 EMAs. Two optional "mirror" EMAs (a smoothed reflection of the 200 and 365) project the opposite side of price to frame mean-reversion zones.
3. Fair Value Gaps (current timeframe)
Three-bar imbalances are drawn as boxes with a dashed mid-line and tagged with the chart timeframe. Live gaps extend to the current bar and are removed automatically once price trades back through them (mitigation). A "max visible" cap keeps only the most recent gaps.
4. Order Blocks (current timeframe)
SMC-style order blocks are detected on structure breaks (price closing through the last swing high/low). The OB candle is selected within a bounded search window, with a volatility filter so an oversized, high-range bar isn't mistaken for the block. Each OB is drawn as a box plus dashed mid-line, kept per direction up to a configurable limit, and dropped on a strict break. A "max pivot age" setting skips stale blocks far from current price during strong trends.
5. Market structure - HH / HL / LH / LL
Swing pivots are labelled as Higher High / Higher Low / Lower High / Lower Low (teal for higher, orange for lower) so structure shifts are visible at a glance.
How to use
Read the trend from the LONG/SHORT markers and EMA stack; trade with it.
Use FVG and Order Block zones as areas to look for entries, partial exits or invalidation - not as automatic buy/sell signals.
Confirm with HH/HL/LH/LL: continuation favours trend-aligned zones; a structure break warns of a possible shift.
Settings
Grouped by section - Main trend (length, multiplier, channel filter, plot channel), Moving Average (EMA lengths, mirrors, smoothing), Fair Value Gaps (show, max visible, colours), Order Blocks (show, max per side, search/structure length, max pivot age, colours), and HH/HL/LH/LL (show, swing length, lookback).
Alerts
Change of the trend - fires when the Master Filter direction flips.
Notes
This indicator is a decision-support tool, not a signal-for-hire system. It does not place orders and past behaviour does not guarantee future results. Always combine it with your own risk management.
Indicator
SMT - NDOG - NWOG - CBDR - FLOUT - Z DAYHere is a simple breakdown of how it works and how to use it:
1. Z-Day Profile (The "Coiled Spring")
What it is: A Z-Day is an ICT concept representing a day of extreme consolidation where the market essentially goes nowhere (zero net change). How the script tracks it: The script calculates the Average Daily Range (ADR) over the last 14 days. If a trading day finishes and its total range was less than 50% of the normal ADR, the script stamps a yellow "Z-DAY" label at the start of the next day. How to use it: When you see a Z-Day label, expect massive, violent expansion (trend days) to occur shortly after, as institutional energy has been tightly coiled.
2. SMT Divergence (Smart Money Tool)
What it is: SMT spots fake moves or underlying strength/weakness by comparing two assets that should move together (like NQ and ES). How the script tracks it: You enter a correlated ticker in the settings (e.g., CME_MINI:ES1!). The script pulls that asset's data in the background. It then tracks swing highs and lows on both charts simultaneously. How to use it: If your current chart makes a Lower Low (sweeping liquidity), but the hidden SMT chart makes a Higher Low, the script flags this as a Bullish SMT. It means the down-move on your chart is likely a fake stop-hunt, and price is preparing to reverse upward.
3. Price Action Gaps (NDOG & NWOG)
What it is: Voids in price caused by the market closing and reopening. These gaps act as algorithmic magnets. How the script tracks it:
NDOG (New Day Opening Gap): Tracks the gap between the 5:00 PM EST close and the 6:00 PM EST reopen.
NWOG (New Week Opening Gap): Tracks the gap between Friday's close and Sunday's reopen. How to use it: The script draws colored boxes over these gaps and extends them endlessly to the right. The box will only disappear once price completely overlaps and "fills" the gap, allowing you to use them as high-probability draw-on-liquidity targets.
4. Dealer Ranges & Projections (CBDR & Asian)
What it is: Institutions accumulate orders during specific quiet hours (Dealer Ranges), and then manipulate or expand price outward based on those ranges. How the script tracks it:
It boxes the absolute High and Low printed during the CBDR (Central Bank Dealers Range, 14:00-20:00 NY time).
It boxes the absolute High and Low printed during the Asian Range (20:00-00:00 NY time).
How to use it: The exact moment the Asian Range finishes at midnight, the script measures the height of the CBDR box. It then projects Fibonacci Standard Deviation lines (+1, +2, -1, -2) out into the future. You use these dashed lines as algorithmic take-profit targets for the new trading day.
It also calculates the Flout, which combines the CBDR and Asian ranges together, cuts them in half, and projects dotted lines for alternate target projections. Indicator
PD Arrays MatrixThis script is arguably the most comprehensive script in this workspace. It acts as an algorithmic footprint scanner, actively mapping the entire spectrum of ICT "Premium/Discount Arrays" on your chart in real-time.
Because charting all these footprint concepts can get incredibly cluttered, it features a built-in memory management system, a Lookback Period optimizer (to only track recent data), and toggle switches for every single array type in the settings menu.
Here is exactly what the script detects, draws, and manages:
1. Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) & Consequent Encroachment (CE)
BISI (Buyside Imbalance Sellside Inefficiency): A Bullish FVG. Drawn as a green box when a massive up-move leaves a 3-candle gap.
SIBI (Sellside Imbalance Buyside Inefficiency): A Bearish FVG. Drawn as a red box during a massive down-move.
CE (Consequent Encroachment): It automatically calculates and draws a dotted midline perfectly through the 50% equilibrium mark of every active FVG, which algos use for precise mitigation.
2. Inversion FVGs (IFVG)
The script actively monitors the life-cycle of every FVG. If a Bullish FVG fails to support price and a candle closes completely below it, the script intelligently flips its polarity.
It turns into a Bearish Resistance zone (colored red/gray) labeled IFVG, extending into the future.
3. Balanced Price Ranges (BPR)
A highly sensitive algorithmic signature. If the script detects that a new Bearish FVG has formed and perfectly overlaps the price range of an older Bullish FVG, it highlights that specific overlapping zone in yellow. This acts as a massive magnet/rejection zone for future price action.
4. Volume Imbalance (VI)
Detects microscopic inefficiencies. If two consecutive candles gap up or down so heavily that their bodies do not overlap at all, but their wicks do touch, the script draws a small purple VI zone between the bodies.
5. Order Blocks (OB)
To filter out low-probability order blocks, the script mathematically enforces the Displacement Rule. It will only flag an institutional down-candle (+OB) or up-candle (-OB) if it immediately precedes a move impulsive enough to leave behind an FVG.
6. Breaker Blocks (+BRK/-BRK) & Mitigation Blocks (MB)
The script monitors the life-cycle of Order Blocks! When an Order Block fails and price breaks aggressively through it, the algorithm checks the previous swing structure:
Did price sweep liquidity (a higher high / lower low) before breaking the OB? If yes, it flips the failed OB into a Breaker Block, turning support into resistance.
Did price fail to sweep liquidity? If yes, it flips it into a Mitigation Block.
7. Rejection Blocks
It scans the chart for unusually long institutional wicks (specifically, wicks that are more than double the size of the candle body and statistically significant relative to the ATR).
When found, it draws a block from the open/close of the candle body out to the extreme tip of the wick, highlighting where institutional accumulation or distribution took place off-screen. Indicator
Indicator
Support Resistance Reversal [erdensedat]Overview
The Support Resistance Reversal is a highly advanced, institutional-grade Price Action and Liquidity Engine. Designed to filter out market noise, it focuses on tracking genuine liquidity sweeps, volatility compression, and momentum shifts. Instead of plotting a chaotic heatmap of every minor pivot, this system intelligently isolates only the most relevant unbroken structures to provide high-probability breakout and reversal signals.
Core Mechanics
The "Rule of 3" Target System: The indicator keeps the chart exceptionally clean by only displaying up to three active pairs of lines at any given time:
The latest freshly formed Pivot structure.
The closest historically unbroken Resistance (HH) above the current price.
The closest historically unbroken Support (LL) below the current price.
Double Layer Tracking: Each support/resistance is drawn as a double-layered zone (a solid line from the main pivot wick, and a dashed line from the subsequent confirmation candle). This allows the system to distinguish between minor liquidity sweeps (touching only the dashed line) and structural breaks (body closes beyond the solid line).
Fade-Out Memory: When a level is definitively broken by a candle body, it doesn't just disappear. It fades into a transparent state, acting as a historical footprint of where liquidity was absorbed.
Advanced Institutional Engines
Dynamic EQ (Equilibrium) Wall: The system calculates the exact midpoint (EQ) between the active Resistance and Support. Every time the price tests the EQ and fails to close beyond it, the EQ line thickens, visually representing a growing psychological barrier and liquidity compression.
POC Magnet (Point of Control): Within the active high/low range, the system dynamically tracks where the highest trading volume is occurring. This is plotted as a yellow dotted line, acting as the true gravitational center (magnet) of the current range, offering a prime Take Profit target.
FVG Imbalance Tracker: Automatically detects unmitigated Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) in the background. If a sweep signal occurs exactly inside one of these institutional voids, the signal is upgraded to an setup, indicating strong institutional backing.
MTF Liquidity Matrix: Projects Higher Timeframe (e.g., 4H) pivot structures directly onto your lower timeframe chart as thick dashed lines, ensuring you never trade blindly against macro liquidity pools.
Pro Features (Experimental Triggers)
These engines provide deep analytical insights into how a level is reacting, rather than just if it reacted:
Level Aging (Cold Breakouts): Tracks how long a level has been untouched. If a level survives for over 50 bars (customizable) and is finally broken, it fires a blue/fuchsia Diamond signal, indicating a "Vacuum Breakout" where old limit orders have decayed.
Volatility Spring (Compression): If the price remains trapped between the active top and bottom for a prolonged period, kinetic energy builds up. When the price finally breaks out, it prints a "SPRING" alert, catching violent volatility expansions.
Ghost Lines (Asymmetric Voids): Spots areas where the price reversed just before hitting your main liquidity lines. Plotted as purple dotted lines, these highlight hidden, front-run liquidity pockets.
High-Velocity Sweeps (Wick Velocity): Measures the wick-to-body ratio of rejection candles. If the price touches a line and violently rejects (leaving a massive wick and tiny body), it prints a yellow X-Cross, signaling aggressive institutional absorption.
Triple Sweep Exhaustion: If a dashed line is tested and rejected 3 times within a rapid 10-bar window, and the 3rd rejection candle has a healthy body size in the reversal direction, it triggers an immediate BUY/SELL text signal, anticipating an exhausted side of the market.
Dynamic Trendlines & Auto Risk/Reward
Upon confirming a valid setup, the system generates a Momentum Vector (Trendline) originating from the signal wick:
The line dynamically tracks the highs/lows of subsequent candles.
It automatically calculates the Risk/Reward (RR) ratio based on the entry close price, the wick stop-loss, and the opposing EQ/POC target.
Momentum Fading: If the trend loses momentum (slope flattens), the arrow and its label (showing "Strong" or "Weak" + RR) begin to fade out into transparency, keeping your chart clean from dead trades. Staggered labels prevent overlap during consecutive signals.
Strict Validation Rules
To prevent fake-outs, all standard triangle and text signals require strict candle body alignment:
BUY signals will only fire if the signal candle closes Green (Close > Open).
SELL signals will only fire if the signal candle closes Red (Close < Open).
Comprehensive Alert System
Fully modular alert conditions are built into the settings, allowing you to create custom server-side alerts for:
Standard Breakouts/Retests
Sweep & Reverses
High-Velocity Sweeps
Cold Level Breakouts
Triple Sweep Exhaustions
Simply set up a single "Confirmed Buy Alert" or "Confirmed Sell Alert" in PulseWire, and the engine will route the notifications based on your exact toggle preferences.

FVG Imbalance Tracker TGFXFVG Imbalance Tracker
OVERVIEW
FVG Imbalance Tracker automatically detects, draws and tracks Fair Value Gaps (FVG), also known as imbalances. It marks each gap as a zone, extends it until price returns, and tells you when the gap has been mitigated (filled). An optional 50% midline (Consequent Encroachment / CE) and a higher-timeframe table give you context at a glance.
WHAT IS A FAIR VALUE GAP
A Fair Value Gap is a three-candle pattern where the first and third candles do not overlap, leaving a price range that was crossed in a single, one-sided move:
- Bullish FVG: the low of candle 3 is above the high of candle 1.
- Bearish FVG: the high of candle 3 is below the low of candle 1.
That untraded range is an imbalance. Price frequently returns to it later to "rebalance" before continuing, which is why these zones are useful as potential reaction areas.
HOW IT WORKS
1. On the close of every third candle, the script checks for a gap between candle 1 and candle 3.
2. If a gap is found (and passes the optional ATR size filter), a zone is drawn from the pattern to the right.
3. Each zone keeps extending until it is mitigated. You choose what mitigation means:
- Full fill: price fully closes the gap.
- 50% (CE): price reaches the midpoint (Consequent Encroachment).
- Touch: price reaches the near edge of the gap.
4. Once mitigated, the zone is dimmed and stops extending (or is removed, if you prefer).
HOW TO READ IT
- Green zones = bullish Fair Value Gaps (potential demand / support areas).
- Red zones = bearish Fair Value Gaps (potential supply / resistance areas).
- Solid, extending zone = still unmitigated.
- Dimmed zone = already mitigated.
- Dotted midline = the 50% (CE) level of the gap.
- Multi-timeframe table: shows the latest imbalance direction on three higher timeframes (Bull / Bear / –) for higher-timeframe context.
SETTINGS
- Detection: optional ATR filter to ignore small gaps, ATR length, minimum gap size (× ATR), and maximum gaps kept per side.
- Mitigation: choose Full fill, 50% (CE) or Touch, and whether mitigated gaps stay dimmed or are removed.
- Visual: colors for bullish/bearish gaps, box transparency, optional border, optional 50% midline, optional labels, label size.
- Multi-timeframe table: enable/disable, the three timeframes, and table position.
REPAINTING
Gaps are confirmed on the close of the third candle, so a zone does not appear and then disappear intrabar.
ALERTS
Three alerts are available: "New bullish FVG", "New bearish FVG" and "FVG mitigated". Add them from the alert dialog and set them to trigger once per bar close.
NOTES
This script is an original implementation of standard, public price-action concepts (Fair Value Gaps and Consequent Encroachment). It is a visualization and context tool — it does not generate buy/sell signals and makes no claim about future performance. Fair Value Gaps work best combined with your own analysis (market structure, liquidity, higher-timeframe context, risk management) rather than used in isolation. Indicator
SICK MODE [erdensedat]Welcome to SICK MODE, the most comprehensive all-in-one Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and Liquidity tracking suite designed for serious traders. This indicator eliminates chart clutter by unifying the most powerful institutional trading concepts into one highly customizable and dynamic script.
Whether you are a day trader, scalper, or swing trader, SICK MODE continuously scans the market to provide you with actionable setups, dynamic bias shifts, and high-probability points of interest (POIs).
Here is a complete breakdown of everything SICK MODE offers and how it helps you build a solid trading setup:
🔥 Core Features & Setup Generators
1. Dual-Layer Market Structure (BOS & CHoCH)
What it is: SICK MODE tracks both Internal (minor) and External (major) Market Structure simultaneously.
How it helps: It automatically labels Break of Structure (BOS) and Change of Character (CHoCH). Internal structure (dashed lines) helps you find early entries, while external structure (solid thick lines) keeps you aligned with the higher timeframe macro trend. It also identifies Strong and Weak swing highs and lows, so you know which levels are likely to hold or be swept.
2. Advanced Liquidity Engine (BSL, SSL, IDM & Turtle Soup)
What it is: Identifies Buy-Side Liquidity (BSL), Sell-Side Liquidity (SSL), and Inducement (IDM) levels.
How it helps: Instead of cluttering your chart with endless lines, it keeps only the most relevant (default 3) liquidity levels. When a level is swept and price reverses, it signals a Turtle Soup (X / TS) entry, giving you a high-probability reversal setup.
3. Next-Gen Fair Value Gap (FVG) & Raid Engine
What it is: A highly advanced FVG detection system that completely removes overlapping noise.
How it helps: It plots precise bullish and bearish imbalances, with options to show mid-lines and extend mitigated gaps. The best part? The Display Raids feature automatically detects when an FVG is pierced (raided) to trigger a quick scalp reversal, printing a precise "x" marker.
4. Institutional Order Blocks & Rejection Blocks
What it is: Detects highly specific Order Blocks (OB) and Rejection Blocks (RB/Wick Blocks).
How it helps: When price mitigates an Order Block, it automatically shifts to a Breaker Block (BB) or Mitigated Block (MB), changing color to let you know the liquidity has been transferred. It actively looks for retests, giving you sniper entry zones.
5. SMT Divergence (Smart Money Tool)
What it is: Automatically compares the current asset with a correlated ticker (e.g., comparing NQ with ES).
How it helps: If the current asset makes a Higher High but the correlated asset makes a Lower High, SICK MODE draws an SMT Divergence line. This is a massive institutional footprint indicating underlying weakness or strength before a reversal.
6. Automated Support & Resistance Engine
What it is: A dynamic S/R system that counts multiple touches on a specific price level.
How it helps: The more price touches a level, the thicker the S/R line becomes. If the level is broken with conviction, the line is removed. Perfect for spotting retail liquidity buildups.
7. Sessions, Killzones & Daily Open
What it is: Highlights Asia, London, and NY Killzones, plus the essential New York Midnight Open line.
How it helps: It tracks unbroken Session Highs and Lows for up to a user-defined amount of days. The dashboard will automatically calculate the distance and show you the "Next Session Target", acting as a magnet for your Take Profits.
8. Advanced Live Dashboard
What it is: A sleek, non-intrusive HUD panel.
How it helps: Instantly gives you the ultimate top-down view:
Current Bias & HTF Bias: (Bullish / Bearish / Neutral)
Active Session: Tells you what session you are in or waiting for.
Next Target: The closest unmitigated session high/low.
Last Action: Prints the exact last institutional event (e.g., "Bullish Sweep/TS", "Bearish FVG Created").
Setup Info: Gives you a direct instruction (e.g., "Look for lows to take LONG").
9. Comprehensive Alert System
What it is: Never miss a setup with built-in dynamic alerts.
How it helps: Set alerts for OB Creation, OB Retests, FVG Creation, FVG Raids, Rejection Blocks, and Turtle Soup (Sweep) triggers straight to your phone or PC.
💡 How to build a setup using SICK MODE?
Check the Dashboard: Ensure your Current Bias and HTF Bias align.
Wait for a Liquidity Purge: Look for a BSL/SSL Sweep or an FVG Raid signal (X).
Confirm the Shift: Wait for a minor (Internal) CHoCH to form in your intended direction.
Enter on Mitigation: Enter on the newly formed Order Block (OB), Rejection Block (RB), or FVG.
Target: Use the "Next Session Target" from the Dashboard or unmitigated liquidity lines for Take Profit.

Falcon AI | FVG FinderFalcon AI — FVG Finder
A free educational overlay that detects Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) — one of the core patterns in Smart Money Concepts (SMC) / ICT methodology.
What's a Fair Value Gap? A 3-candle imbalance: an impulsive middle candle moves price so fast it leaves a gap between the first and third candles — a range that barely traded. Price often returns to "fill" these gaps before continuing.
What it shows
• Green box — Bullish FVG (gap below price)
• Red box — Bearish FVG (gap above price)
• "FVG" tag — a new gap just formed
• Faded box — the gap has been filled / mitigated
Settings
• Min Gap Size (% of price) — filter out small gaps; raise for fewer, cleaner FVGs
• Fill behavior — Fade, Remove, or Keep gaps once mitigated
• Optional session filter — only mark gaps during your hours
• Max FVGs to keep, colors, tags, info panel
How to use it
Add it to your chart (any market/timeframe; built with futures like MNQ in mind)
Watch for price to return to an unfilled FVG — many traders study these as areas of interest
Combine with your own structure read and bias — your entry, your stop, your risk management
This indicator does NOT place trades, does NOT backtest, and has no entry, stop, or position-sizing logic. It's an educational overlay for studying the Fair Value Gap pattern.
Disclaimer: Educational use only. Not financial advice. Past pattern formations do not guarantee future price behavior — these are pattern detections, not trade recommendations. Always use a stop loss and manage your own risk. Trading futures involves substantial risk of loss. Indicator
Trend Market by erdensedatThis indicator ("Trend Market") is a highly comprehensive trading system that brings together modern Smart Money Concepts (SMC), Price Action analysis, and dynamic trend structures under one roof. Breaking away from the lagging nature of traditional indicators, it focuses entirely on the real-time market structure dictated by price itself.
Here are the core features of the indicator and what they mean for your trading:
1. Market Structure (MS) Breakouts
The indicator instantly detects shifts in market structure. When price breaks through previous lower highs or higher lows, it labels them as BOS (Break of Structure) to indicate trend continuation, or CHoCH (Change of Character) at points where the trend changes direction. These breakouts are the most fundamental Price Action components for understanding where the price wants to go.
2. Order Blocks and High-Probability Entries (Re-Tests)
When a BOS or CHoCH occurs, the indicator automatically draws "Order Block" zones, which highlight where the institutional volume that initiated the breakout is concentrated.
Why it matters: Order Blocks (OB) are areas where "smart money" enters the market with large volume. After these breakouts, price often retraces (re-tests) these zones to grab liquidity. Entering a trade when a trend-aligned Order Block is tested provides the highest risk-to-reward (R/R) ratio and the most robust, reliable entry opportunities (sniper entries).
3. FVG (Fair Value Gaps)
The indicator detects FVGs, which represent imbalances in the market.
Why it matters: FVGs occur during rapid, high-volume price movements when there is an imbalance between buyers and sellers. FVGs formed at the beginning of a new trend (especially alongside a CHoCH) confirm the strength of that trend. FVGs formed while a trend is ongoing act as magnets for the price during pullbacks, serving as potential support/resistance and target areas.
4. Ghost Trend Engine
Unlike traditional static trendlines, this feature calculates the slopes of price wicks to generate dynamic trendlines that adapt to the market's momentum. It draws both Minor (Ghost) and Major (Confirm) resistance and support slopes.
The Confirmation Mechanism: If price bounces off one of these dynamic Ghost/Confirm trendlines during an Order Block re-test or an FVG fill, your entry signal becomes "double confirmed." Furthermore, when these trendlines are broken, they serve as early warning signs of an impending trend reversal.
5. Dynamic TP (Take Profit) Machine (Infinite Fibonacci)
It plots automatic Fibonacci extension levels calculated from your entry point (CHoCH/BOS) and the peak/trough of the current structure.
How it works: As price hits these targets (TP1, TP2, etc.), the indicator automatically extends the targets higher/lower, creating an infinite sequence of Take Profit levels. No matter how far a trend extends, your potential target levels will always be ready on your chart.
Summary: How to Trade with It?
Determine the market direction using the CHoCH and BOS labels.
Don't rush in immediately after a breakout; wait for the price to retrace (Re-test) into the Order Block (OB) or FVG zones.
When price reaches these zones, observe the reaction from the Ghost Trend lines to confirm that the trend will continue.
Once you enter a trade, use the automatically generated Dynamic TP levels for scaled profit-taking.

FVG + HTF Equilibrium (True Mitigation V14.2)FVG + HTF Equilibrium (True Mitigation V14.2)
อินดิเคเตอร์บอก แนวแท่งคู่(ราคาปิดแท่ง และราคาเปิดของแท่งถัดไป ราคาใกล้เคียงกัน) และ FVG
2 กลไกหลักขับเคลื่อนระบบ
1. Fair Value Gaps (FVG) – โซนความไม่สมดุลของราคา
Bullish FVG (กล่องสี Teal): โซนแรงซื้อรุนแรง ราคาเกิดช่องว่าง (Imbalance) มักลงมาทดสอบแล้วเด้งขึ้นต่อ
Bearish FVG (กล่องสีชมพู/ม่วง): โซนแรงขายรุนแรง มักรีบาวด์ขึ้นมาทดสอบแล้วร่วงต่อ
Dynamic Resizing: กล่องจะหดตัวลงตามจริงเมื่อราคาเข้าถม (Filled) และจะลบออกทันทีหากราคาปิดทะลุโซน
2. HTF Equilibrium – แนวรับ-แนวต้านแท่งคู่
Concept: ระบบดึงข้อมูลข้ามไทม์เฟรม (5m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 4h, 1D) ตรวจจับแท่งเทียนคู่ขัดแย้งในอดีต (เช่น เขียวเต็มแล้วแดงทุบสวนทันที) ณ ระดับราคาที่มีคำสั่งซื้อขายหนาแน่น
True Mitigation 100%:
- ฝั่งไทม์เฟรมใหญ่ (HTF) จะสกรีนตัวเองก่อน หากแนวราคาเคยโดนเคลียร์ไปแล้ว จะไม่สร้างเส้นเด็ดขาด
- เส้นประที่ปรากฏบนจอ หากราคาปัจจุบันใน m1 วิ่งมาชนหรือสะบัดไส้โดน เส้นจะถูกลบทำลายทิ้งทันทีเรียลไทม์ (บนชาร์ตจะเหลือเฉพาะแนวสดใหม่ที่ยังไม่เคยโดนทดสอบเท่านั้น)
FVG + HTF Equilibrium (True Mitigation V14.2)
This indicator identifies paired-candle levels (where a candle’s close and the next candle’s open are at nearly the same price) and FVGs.
Two Core Mechanisms Driving the System
1. Fair Value Gaps (FVG) – Price Imbalance Zones
- Bullish FVG (Teal Box):** A zone of strong buying pressure where a price gap (imbalance) forms. Price often retraces to test the zone before continuing upward.
- Bearish FVG (Pink/Purple Box):** A zone of strong selling pressure. Price often rebounds into the zone for a retest before continuing downward.
- **Dynamic Resizing:** The box automatically shrinks as price fills the gap and is removed immediately if a candle closes beyond the zone.
2. HTF Equilibrium – Paired-Candle Support & Resistance
Concept:The system pulls data from higher timeframes (5m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 4h, 1D) and detects historical opposing candle pairs (e.g., a strong bullish candle immediately followed by a strong bearish candle) at price levels with concentrated buy/sell orders.
True Mitigation 100%:
- Higher timeframes (HTF) perform self-screening first. If a price level has already been mitigated, the system will not create that level under any circumstances.
- Any dashed line displayed on the chart will be removed instantly in real time if current M1 price touches it or even wicks into it. As a result, only fresh, untested levels remain visible on the chart.
Indicator
FVG Bias Finder [erdensedat]The "FVG Bias Finder " is an advanced, all-in-one price action toolkit designed to help traders identify structural shifts, market bias, and high-probability zones of interest. By combining core Smart Money Concepts (SMC) such as Break of Structure (BOS), Change of Character (CHoCH), and Fair Value Gaps (FVG), this script provides a clear and objective view of the market trend and institutional footprints.
Key Features & Functionality
Dynamic Market Structure (BOS & CHoCH):
The indicator automatically maps out pivot highs and lows (fractals) to detect structural breaks. Pre-break "candidate" lines help you anticipate incoming structure shifts. Once broken, the lines dynamically change to indicate a confirmed BOS or CHoCH.
High-Volume BOS Detection:
Not all breakouts are equal. The script filters and highlights structural breaks that occur with significant volume (volume exceeding a configurable SMA multiplier). It plots a highlighted zone and prints the exact volume at the breakdown/breakout point, confirming true displacement.
Advanced FVG Engine (erdensedat):
The core of the indicator heavily relies on detecting Fair Value Gaps (FVGs).
Draws bullish and bearish FVGs with customizable lengths and threshold filters based on ATR.
Tracks mitigation logic in real-time (Close, Wick, or Average).
Overlap hiding capabilities to keep your charts clean.
Plots a dynamic SMA trajectory inside the unmitigated gaps to gauge short-term trend strength within the zone.
Bias Directional Signals:
The indicator removes the guesswork by printing explicit Bullish (Green) and Bearish (Red) arrows. A signal is triggered when:
A BOS occurs while a corresponding directional FVG is currently active.
A BOS and a fresh FVG are confirmed on the exact same candle.
This creates high-probability setups, confirming that structural breaks are supported by strong momentum (displacement).
Additional Confluence Tools:
Built-in toggles allow you to overlay VWAP and up to two Moving Averages (SMA, EMA, RMA, WMA, HMA) directly from the indicator settings, eliminating the need to clutter your chart with multiple separate indicators.
How to Use It
Trend Following: Use the BOS/CHoCH mapping in combination with the directional arrows to ride the prevailing trend. When an arrow prints, it signifies that structure has shifted with institutional displacement (FVG).
Entries & Pullbacks: Wait for the price to retrace into the active unmitigated FVG boxes (Bullish Green / Bearish Red zones) following a structural break to find optimal trade entries.
Filtering Noise: Pay close attention to the "High Volume" highlights on the BOS lines. A break of structure backed by high volume implies a stronger likelihood of continuation.

Volume Profile Support & Resistance Matrix [HexaTrades]Most indicators tell you where the price went. This one shows you where the volume traded and then does the hard part for you: it reads that volume map and draws the support and resistance levels that genuinely matter right now.
VRVP Visible Range Support/Resistance Matrix is an all-in-one volume toolkit. It builds a buy/sell Volume Range Visible Profile over the last N candles (or the visible range), locates the heavy high-volume nodes, converts them into ranked support and resistance zones, and surrounds them with everything you need to act: Point of Control, Value Area, Low-Volume-Node levels, optional Fair Value Gaps, a corner dashboard, and breakout/touch/ approach alerts. Everything is configurable, and every level is explained
✨ features
✔️ Buy & Sell Volume Profile
- Volume-by-price histogram built from the chosen window, one row per price bin.
- Buy vs sell split: each candle’s volume is classified as buying (close ≥ open) or selling (close < open) and stacked per row, so you see the order-flow balance at every level.
- Radiant intensity coloring: heavy rows render bright/opaque, light rows fade out, so the significant nodes jump off the chart.
- Right-of-price placement: the profile sits in the gap to the right of the last candle (adjustable), so it never covers your price action, and it pans/zooms with the chart.
- Gap-free distribution: volume is spread across each candle’s full range, so the profile is solid rather than a sparse set of dots.
✔️ Automatic Support & Resistance Zones
- High-volume node detection: the script repeatedly finds the biggest volume peaks and turns them into zones.
- Strength % score: every zone is graded by its volume relative to the Point of Control (e.g. “Support 82%”), and the fill opacity scales with that strength.
- Retest count: counts how many times price has re-entered the zone (e.g. “x4”), so you can tell fresh levels from heavily-tested ones.
- Smart spacing: a minimum distance (in profile rows) and an anti-overlap floor keep zones cleanly separated, never stacked on top of each other.
- Per-side cap: limit how many support and resistance zones show, so the chart stays readable.
- Auto role flip: a level above the last confirmed close is Resistance, below it is Support; zones recolor only when a candle actually closes through them.
- Adjustable thickness: zone band height from ATR or bin size, fully tunable.
Anchor options extend zones from the window start or from the last price touch.
✔️ Point of Control & Value Area
- POC line: the single highest-volume price (the market’s fair-value magnet).
- Value Area (VAH / VAL) : the high/low boundaries that contain your chosen % of total traded volume (default 70%).
- Used both as optional on-chart lines and as the engine behind the dashboard’s trend bias.
✔️ Low Volume Nodes (LVNs)
- Imbalance detection: finds the thin “valleys” in the profile where little volume traded.
- Dashed level lines mark these air pockets: price tends to move quickly through them and react at the thick nodes around them.
✔️ Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
- 3-candle imbalance detection: bullish & bearish gaps where price moved so fast it left an unfilled inefficiency.
-Unfilled-only boxes: only gaps price hasn’t returned to are shown, as small yellow boxes labeled “FVG”. Capped to keep the chart clean. (Off by default.)
✔️ Stat Dashboard
- A compact corner panel showing 📊 POC, 🔼 VAH, 🔽 VAL, 🟥 Nearest Resistance, 🟩 Nearest Support, 🧭 Trend Bias (Bullish / Bearish / Balanced) and 📐 zone counts.
- Dark, high-contrast styling that stays readable on light and dark chart themes; placeable in any of the four corners.
✔️ Alerts
The tool features a comprehensive, built-in alert system that triggers notifications for a variety of critical price movements, such as breakouts above resistance, breakdowns below support, support touches, resistance rejections, and upcoming zone warnings. Traders can also enable an optional volume confirmation filter to help minimize false signals during low-liquidity periods.
✔️ Window & Customization
- Two modes: a fixed candle window (default 360) for consistency, or the visible range so the profile follows whatever you’re looking at.
- Adjustable resolution: set the number of profile rows for coarse or fine detail.
- Full color control: buy/sell profile, support/resistance fills, POC, value area, LVN and FVG colors are all editable.
Find all mentioned features in the chart below.
⚙️ How it works
- Range & rows. It takes the high/low of the last N candles (or the visible range) and slices that range into bins (rows).
- Volume mapping. Each candle spreads its volume across the rows its range covers, then splits it into buy vs sell, giving a solid, gap-free volume-by-price map.
- POC & Value Area. The busiest row is the Point of Control; the script expands outward until it captures your chosen % of total volume → VAH / VAL.
- Zone selection. It picks the biggest volume peaks, keeps them spaced apart so they never overlap, scores each by strength, and counts retests.
- Role & signals. Levels above the last confirmed close are Resistance; below are Support, and breakout/touch / reject / approach events fire from the nearest live zone.
🚀How to use it- step by step
Add the indicator to any symbol that has volume, on any timeframe. The defaults work out of the box. Two decisions set the context:
- Timeframe: use your trading timeframe. Higher timeframes (1H/4H/1D) give fewer, stronger zones; lower timeframes give more, faster-moving ones.
- Window: keep Use Fixed Candle Count on (default 360) for a stable, repeatable profile, or turn it off to let the profile follow the visible range as you scroll.
⭐️ Read the structure with the dashboard
- Trend Bias is your regime filter: Bullish when price is above the Value Area High (favour longs), Bearish below the Value Area Low (favour shorts), Balanced inside the value area (favour fading the edges / mean-reversion).
- 🎯 POC / 🔼 VAH / 🔽 VAL give you the fair-value zone where most business was done.
- 🟥 Nearest Resistance / 🟩 Nearest Support are your immediate targets and invalidation prices
⭐️ Find the zones that actually matter
Not all zones are equal — let the labels rank them for you:
- Strength % : higher = more volume traded there = a stronger level. A “Support 95%” is far more significant than a “Support 48%”. Prioritise the high-% zones.
- Retest count (x N): a low count means a fresh, untested level (often the cleanest reactions); a high count means it’s been hit many times and may be weakening toward a break.
- Profile shape: the long bars are High-Volume Nodes (acceptance/magnets); the thin LVN dashed lines are Low-Volume Nodes (rejection / fast-travel zones).
⭐️ Trade the three core plays
Almost every setup is one of these. Use the zone edges for entries and stops:
Bounce (long at support)
- Price drops into a strong green Support zone with the bias bullish or balanced.
- Wait for a reaction candle (rejection wick/engulfing) inside or at the zone.
- Entry on the reaction; stop just below the zone; first target = POC or the nearest resistance.
Reject (short at resistance)
- Price rallies into a strong red Resistance zone with the bias bearish or balanced.
- Look for a rejection / the “Resistance Reject” marker.
- Entry on the reaction; stop just above the zone; target = POC or nearest support.
Breakout / Breakdown (momentum)
-A decisive close through a zone (ideally with the BUY/SELL signal and volume confirmation on) flips it from resistance to support (or vice-versa).
-Enter on the break or the retest of the flipped zone; target the next zone up/down.
- Breaks through a thin LVN tend to run fast to the next High-Volume Node.
Stack confluence for the best setups
The highest-probability trades are where several things line up:
Zone + POC: a level sitting on the Point of Control is a heavy magnet.
Zone + Value Area edge: VAH/VAL rejections are classic mean-reversion spots.
Zone + Fair Value Gap turn on FVGs: a gap that overlaps a zone is a strong target.
Zone + LVN beyond it: if there’s an air pocket just past a zone, a break can accelerate quickly.
High Strength % + low retest count: fresh, heavy levels react best.

FVG Retest Entry Engine is a structured Fair Value Gap retest analysis indicator designed to help traders study confirmed gap reactions, structure alignment, filtered entry conditions, and multi-target visual trade models directly on the price chart.
This script focuses on one main concept:
FVG retest-based entry visualization.
It is not designed to be a simple buy/sell signal generator.
It is not designed to show every possible Fair Value Gap.
It is not designed to create constant chart noise.
Instead, the goal of FVG Retest Entry Engine is to detect confirmed structure events, identify eligible Fair Value Gaps, monitor their retests, apply configurable quality checkpoints, and visualize accepted setups using one entry level, one protective stop, and three take-profit levels.
The indicator includes:
• Bullish and bearish market-structure detection
• BOS and CHoCH classification
• Three-candle Fair Value Gap detection
• Internal FVG memory and invalidation handling
• Structure-linked FVG candidate selection

📌 OVERVIEW
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
At a high level, FVG Retest Entry Engine does the following:
• Detects confirmed bullish and bearish structure breaks.
• Classifies structure events as BOS or CHoCH.
• Detects bullish and bearish three-candle Fair Value Gaps.
• Stores valid FVG zones in internal memory.
• Tracks zone direction, boundaries, age, displacement, volume context, and prior interactions.
• Searches for an eligible FVG after a matching structure event.
• Scores and ranks available FVG candidates.
• Arms the best available zone for retest monitoring.
• Waits for the selected minimum retest delay.
• Detects the selected FVG retest pattern.
• Evaluates reaction quality and optional confluence filters.
• Assigns a setup grade such as A+, A, B, or FILTERED.
• Confirms final entry conditions only when the chart candle closes.
• Draws one Entry, one SL, and three TP levels.
• Tracks TP1, TP2, TP3, stop-loss, and breakeven events.
• Allows only one active trade projection at a time.
• Keeps completed trade areas when historical display is enabled.
• Marks completed models as bullish or bearish FVG Retest outcomes.
• Displays the current bias, engine state, and active levels in the dashboard.
• Provides entry, armed-zone, target, stop, breakeven, and webhook alert options.
The script is intentionally built as a structured process.
It does not include machine-learning prediction.
It does not include guaranteed performance claims.
It does not attempt to forecast every future market movement.
It provides a transparent way to study structure-linked FVG retests and their projected trade lifecycle.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🧠 CORE IDEA
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The core idea behind FVG Retest Entry Engine is based on the relationship between market structure and Fair Value Gap reactions.
A Fair Value Gap represents a three-candle price imbalance.
A bullish FVG is formed when the current candle’s low is above the high from two candles earlier.
A bearish FVG is formed when the current candle’s high is below the low from two candles earlier.
The script does not treat every FVG as an entry.
Instead, it waits for a confirmed structure event and then searches for an eligible FVG that matches that directional context.
The selected FVG becomes an armed zone.
Price must later return to that zone and satisfy the chosen retest condition.
The engine can then evaluate:
• gap size relative to ATR
• formation displacement
• formation volume context
• FVG age
• prior zone interactions
• structure-break quality
• retest depth
• reaction-candle quality
• volume participation
• DI / ADX directional force
• confirmed higher-timeframe bias
• minimum setup grade
The goal is not to show more signals.
The goal is to create a documented and understandable process from structure event to confirmed FVG retest model.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🧩 WHY THIS SCRIPT IS NOT A SIMPLE BUY/SELL INDICATOR
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
FVG Retest Entry Engine is not intended to be used as a blind buy/sell system.
The script is structured as a visual review workflow:
Structure event is confirmed
→ matching FVG candidates are reviewed
→ one eligible FVG is selected
→ the FVG becomes armed
→ price returns to the armed zone
→ the retest pattern is checked
→ reaction quality is evaluated
→ enabled filters are checked
→ the setup receives a grade
→ the candle must close with all conditions still valid
→ Entry, SL, TP1, TP2, and TP3 are projected
→ the active model is monitored
→ the model closes at TP3, stop loss, targets complete, or breakeven
→ the completed FVG Retest model is archived visually
Each part has a specific purpose.
The structure system identifies a directional event.
The FVG memory system stores imbalance zones.
The candidate-ranking system selects a relevant gap instead of using every gap.
The armed-zone system separates observation from entry.
The retest logic defines what qualifies as a valid return.
The quality checkpoints reduce setups that fail enabled conditions.
The grading system summarizes internal setup quality.
The entry model provides visual planning levels.
The stop model creates a consistent risk reference.
The three-target model provides staged reward references.
The Blocker Lens explains the current engine state.
The Passport explains why an accepted setup qualified.
The alert system supports monitoring of confirmed events.
This makes the script a structured FVG retest analysis tool, not a guaranteed trade signal generator.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚙️ HOW THE SCRIPT WORKS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The script operates through several connected stages.
First, it identifies confirmed swing highs and swing lows.
Price breaking a confirmed swing level can create a bullish or bearish structure event.
The break may be classified as BOS when it continues the current structure bias or CHoCH when it changes that bias.
The engine separately detects three-candle Fair Value Gaps and stores their contextual information.
bool tws_bullish_fvg = bar_index >= 2 and low > high
bool tws_bearish_fvg = bar_index >= 2 and high < low
float tws_bullish_fvg_top = low
float tws_bullish_fvg_bottom = high
float tws_bearish_fvg_top = low
float tws_bearish_fvg_bottom = high
float tws_bullish_fvg_size = tws_bullish_fvg_top - tws_bullish_fvg_bottom
float tws_bearish_fvg_size = tws_bearish_fvg_top - tws_bearish_fvg_bottom
When a structure event occurs, the engine reviews matching FVG candidates within the selected distance and timing limits.
The available candidates are compared using the active profile’s rules.
The selected zone becomes armed and remains under observation until:
• a confirmed retest creates an entry
• the setup expires
• the FVG is invalidated
• another structure search replaces it
Once price interacts with the armed zone, the selected retest model and reaction-quality conditions are checked.
Volume, DI / ADX, and higher-timeframe bias can also be required.
Only a setup that passes the active rules and remains valid at candle close can create a permanent entry model.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔵 BULLISH FVG RETEST LOGIC
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
A bullish FVG Retest setup begins with bullish structure context.
The script requires a confirmed bullish BOS or CHoCH event and then searches for a directionally matching FVG candidate.
The selected zone must remain valid while the engine waits for price to return.
Depending on the chosen profile and retest model, bullish confirmation may require:
• wick contact with the zone
• real-body contact
• a close inside the zone
• a bullish reaction reclaim
• directional recovery above the zone midpoint
• a close above the relevant FVG edge
• a bullish rejection wick
The engine may then check:
• reaction strength
• volume participation
• positive DI dominance
• minimum ADX strength
• confirmed bullish HTF alignment
• minimum accepted grade
When every enabled condition remains valid at candle close, the script creates:
• a bullish FVG RETEST label
• an executed FVG retest box
• an entry reference at the confirmation close
• a protective stop below the setup reference
• TP1, TP2, and TP3 above entry
• blue reward visualization
• red risk visualization
This does not mean price must continue upward.
It means the script detected a bullish FVG retest condition that satisfied the selected rules at the time of confirmation.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔴 BEARISH FVG RETEST LOGIC
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
A bearish FVG Retest setup begins with bearish structure context.
The script requires a confirmed bearish BOS or CHoCH event and then searches for a directionally matching FVG candidate.
The selected zone must remain valid while the engine waits for price to return.
Depending on the chosen profile and retest model, bearish confirmation may require:
• wick contact with the zone
• real-body contact
• a close inside the zone
• a bearish reaction reclaim
• directional recovery below the zone midpoint
• a close below the relevant FVG edge
• a bearish rejection wick
The engine may then check:
• reaction strength
• volume participation
• negative DI dominance
• minimum ADX strength
• confirmed bearish HTF alignment
• minimum accepted grade
When every enabled condition remains valid at candle close, the script creates:
• a bearish FVG RETEST label
• an executed FVG retest box
• an entry reference at the confirmation close
• a protective stop above the setup reference
• TP1, TP2, and TP3 below entry
• blue reward visualization
• red risk visualization
This does not mean price must continue downward.
It means the script detected a bearish FVG retest condition that satisfied the selected rules at the time of confirmation.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
💎 FVG QUALITY FILTER SYSTEM
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The script includes a multi-layer FVG quality system to reduce unnecessary chart signals.
This is important because not every gap has the same context and not every retest should create an entry model.
The quality system may evaluate:
• minimum gap size relative to ATR
• displacement of the formation candle
• gap location inside the recent dealing range
• formation-volume context
• gap age
• previous interactions with the zone
• distance from the matching structure event
• structure-break strength
• reaction-candle strength
• volume participation on retest
• DI / ADX directional force
• confirmed HTF bias
• final setup grade
The exact behavior depends on the selected Engine Style.
Original Sync uses the first validated calibration and star-based acceptance logic.
Balanced Flow uses moderate filtering.
Precision Flow applies stricter FVG and retest requirements.
Fast Flow accepts more active conditions.
Position Flow uses wider structural and timing windows.
Custom Lab exposes the advanced thresholds for manual configuration.
The filter system does not guarantee better future outcomes.
It controls how selective the engine is before creating a confirmed visual model.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📏 GAP / ATR FILTER
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The gap-width filter measures the detected FVG against ATR.
This helps the engine reject extremely small imbalance zones relative to current market volatility.
A higher minimum gap-width value makes FVG storage and candidate selection more selective.
A lower value allows smaller gaps to enter the internal memory.
The filter is volatility-adjusted because the same absolute price distance can have different meaning across symbols and timeframes.
The active threshold depends on the chosen profile or Custom Lab value.
A larger gap is not automatically a better setup.
Gap size is only one component of the complete selection and retest process.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🕯️ DISPLACEMENT QUALITY FILTER
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The displacement filter evaluates the directional body of the candle associated with FVG formation.
The formation body is compared with ATR and converted into a bounded internal score.
This helps the script distinguish a stronger directional imbalance from a gap created during weak or narrow price action.
When the Gap Impulse Check is enabled, an FVG must satisfy the selected displacement threshold before it is stored as a valid candidate.
A higher threshold reduces the number of eligible FVGs.
A lower threshold accepts more moderate formations.
The displacement score is an internal quality measurement.
It does not predict whether the zone will hold in the future.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📊 REACTION STRENGTH FILTER
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The reaction-strength filter evaluates the candle that interacts with the armed FVG.
The score can include:
• close location inside the candle
• directional wick quality
• body size relative to ATR
• bullish or bearish candle direction
• penetration depth inside the FVG
The purpose is to separate a basic touch from a more structured directional response.
A higher minimum reaction-strength value requires a clearer response from the zone.
A lower value accepts more retest conditions.
Original Sync can use its original reaction logic without the same adaptive score requirement.
The reaction score is not a win probability.
It is a standardized way to evaluate whether the retest candle matches the selected profile’s quality requirements.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🧼 CONFIRMED RETEST FILTER
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The confirmed-retest layer requires price to satisfy the active retest model and remain valid at candle close.
Available Original Sync reaction patterns include:
• Any Wick Contact
• Real Body Contact
• Close Within Gap
• Reaction Reclaim
Available adaptive reaction models include:
• First Contact
• Directional Recovery
• Edge Reclaim
• Rejection Wick
First Contact accepts basic interaction with the zone.
Directional Recovery requires directional behavior after the interaction.
Edge Reclaim requires price to close through the relevant boundary.
Rejection Wick applies a stricter wick-and-close response.
The script can also use an interaction margin to tolerate minor boundary differences.
A minimum delay prevents the engine from confirming a retest too soon after the structure event.
An expiry window prevents stale armed zones from producing entries too far from their original context.
Final entry commitment remains bar-close based.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎯 ENTRY MODEL
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
When an armed FVG retest passes all enabled conditions, the script creates a visual entry model.
The entry reference is the close of the candle that confirms the retest.
Permanent entries, labels, boxes, and entry alerts are committed only after candle close.
tws_preview_ready := tws_eval_zone_touched and tws_eval_reaction_pass and tws_direction_filters_pass and tws_eval_grade_pass
bool tws_confirmed_entry = tws_preview_ready and barstate.isconfirmed
if tws_confirmed_entry
tws_long_signal := tws_armed_direction == 1
tws_short_signal := tws_armed_direction == -1
tws_entry_event := true
tws_trade_active := true
tws_trade_direction := tws_armed_direction
tws_trade_open_bar := bar_index
tws_trade_entry := close
Confirmed Close mode waits for the candle to finish before the dashboard treats the setup as an entry.
Live Preview can show that current conditions are ready while the realtime candle is still open.
The preview may change intrabar because the candle is unfinished.
It does not create a permanent historical entry model unless the setup remains valid when the candle closes.
The entry is a visual analysis reference.
It is not a broker order and does not require the user to enter a trade.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🛑 ATR STOP-LOSS MODEL
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The script includes two stop-placement models.
Gap-Protected Stop uses the selected FVG boundary plus an ATR-based protective buffer.
For bullish setups, the stop is projected below the FVG.
For bearish setups, the stop is projected above the FVG.
Volatility Stop projects the stop at an ATR multiple from entry.
A minimum stop-distance percentage can prevent extremely narrow visual stops.
float tws_raw_stop =
tws_stop_mode == "Gap-Protected Stop" ?
(
tws_trade_direction == 1 ?
tws_armed_bottom - tws_atr * tws_fvg_stop_buffer_atr :
tws_armed_top + tws_atr * tws_fvg_stop_buffer_atr
) :
(
tws_trade_direction == 1 ?
tws_trade_entry - tws_atr * tws_atr_stop_multiplier :
tws_trade_entry + tws_atr * tws_atr_stop_multiplier
)
float tws_raw_stop_distance = math.abs(tws_trade_entry - tws_raw_stop)
float tws_guaranteed_distance = tws_trade_entry * tws_minimum_stop_percent / 100.0
float tws_final_stop_distance = math.max(tws_raw_stop_distance, tws_guaranteed_distance)
ATR is used because volatility changes across markets and timeframes.
A wider stop changes the projected risk distance and therefore also changes all three target levels.
The displayed SL is a visual planning level only.
It does not place or manage a real broker stop order.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎯 TAKE-PROFIT RR MODEL
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The script uses three take-profit levels.
Each target is calculated from the distance between entry and the original stop.
float tws_trade_risk = math.abs(tws_trade_entry - tws_trade_original_stop)
tws_trade_tp1 := tws_trade_direction == 1 ? tws_trade_entry + tws_trade_risk * tws_tp1_r : tws_trade_entry - tws_trade_risk * tws_tp1_r
tws_trade_tp2 := tws_trade_direction == 1 ? tws_trade_entry + tws_trade_risk * tws_tp2_r : tws_trade_entry - tws_trade_risk * tws_tp2_r
tws_trade_tp3 := tws_trade_direction == 1 ? tws_trade_entry + tws_trade_risk * tws_tp3_r : tws_trade_entry - tws_trade_risk * tws_tp3_r
The default concept is:
TP1 = first risk-multiple target
TP2 = second risk-multiple target
TP3 = final risk-multiple target
The exact R values can be adjusted in Position Architecture.
The script also contains visual position-share percentages for TP1, TP2, and TP3.
These shares are used by the internal lifecycle model.
They do not represent a broker account, real position size, or verified financial performance.
The RR settings only control projected visual distances.
They should not be interpreted as recommendations or guaranteed objectives.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📦 ACTIVE TP / SL BOX SYSTEM
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
When a confirmed FVG Retest entry appears, the script can draw a complete visual trade model.
The visual model includes:
• executed FVG retest zone
• entry line
• original stop line
• active stop line
• TP1 line
• TP2 line
• TP3 line
• red risk box
• blue reward box
• Entry price label
• SL price label
• TP1, TP2, and TP3 price labels
• bullish or bearish entry label
The active boxes extend to the right while the model is open.
When the model closes, the right edge is fixed at the closing candle.
If Keep Completed Trade Areas is enabled, completed boxes and lines remain visible for historical review.
The Completed Trade History Limit controls how many previous visual models are retained.
The TP area uses a blue-toned visual palette.
TP price labels use a different, darker background so they remain distinct from the reward box.
The SL area remains red for clearer risk separation.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🚦 ONE ACTIVE TRADE AT A TIME
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The script includes one-active-trade-at-a-time logic.
If a trade model is active, the engine does not create another trade model until the current one closes.
The active model may close through:
• TP3
• targets complete
• stop loss
• breakeven exit
This design separates:
• FVG and structure detection
• trade-model creation permission
The engine can continue calculating market context while a model is active, but another entry model is not opened.
This helps prevent overlapping TP / SL areas and keeps the chart easier to interpret.
The one-active-model rule is a visual management decision.
It is not a restriction on the user’s personal trading activity.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚠️ SAME-CANDLE TP / SL HANDLING
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
If a target and the active stop are both touched on the same candle, standard OHLC data cannot reveal the true intrabar sequence.
The script therefore includes two selectable assumptions:
Protective First
Target First
Protective First assumes the stop is processed before target events.
Target First processes available target events before the stop check.
bool tws_conservative_mode =
tws_intrabar_priority == "Protective First"
if tws_conservative_mode and tws_stop_touched
tws_trade_remaining_percent := 0.0
tws_close_trade := true
tws_close_reason := tws_trade_active_stop == tws_trade_entry ? "BREAKEVEN" : "STOP LOSS"
tws_final_exit_price := tws_trade_active_stop
else
if not tws_tp1_reached and tws_tp1_touched
tws_tp1_reached := true
tws_tp1_event := true
Protective First is the more conservative bar-based assumption.
Target First is more optimistic.
Neither option reproduces exact tick-by-tick broker execution.
The model does not include spread, slippage, commissions, latency, or partial-fill behavior.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🏷️ FVG RETEST LABELS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The script uses clear directional FVG Retest labels.
Bullish entry labels use:
🟢 FVG RETEST
📈 LONG
Bearish entry labels use:
🔴 FVG RETEST
📉 SHORT
Entry labels can also display:
• grade
• setup score
• FVG age
• retest depth
• Passport information
Completed-model labels emphasize that the closed model originated from an FVG retest.
A completed bullish model can display:
🟢 BULLISH FVG RETEST
🔒 MODEL CLOSED
🎯 close reason
⭐ grade
TP1 / TP2 / TP3 status
A completed bearish model uses the corresponding bearish wording and color.
The labels do not display USD profit or account-profit claims.
All chart labels use bold and italic text formatting.
The signal-label size can be adjusted from the settings.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📍 FVG ZONE DISPLAY MODES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The FVG display system includes three modes:
Hidden
Selected Gap
All Active Gaps
Hidden mode removes active FVG memory boxes from the chart while allowing the engine to continue calculating them internally.
Selected Gap shows only the FVG currently armed for retest monitoring.
All Active Gaps displays every currently stored and valid FVG zone.
Show Executed FVG Retests separately controls whether the FVG zone that created an entry remains highlighted as part of the trade model.
The selected display mode affects visual presentation only.
It does not change the underlying FVG calculations.
For the cleanest chart, Selected Gap is generally the most focused mode.
All Active Gaps can be useful for research but may create more chart density.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🧹 FVG INVALIDATION
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The script can automatically remove invalidated FVG zones.
A bullish FVG may be invalidated when confirmed price action closes through the zone in the opposite direction.
A bearish FVG may be invalidated when confirmed price action closes through its opposite boundary.
An armed zone can also be cleared when:
• its retest window expires
• the zone exceeds the permitted lifetime
• the internal memory limit removes an older gap
• the active structure search is replaced
When an armed FVG becomes invalid, the Blocker Lens can display FVG INVALIDATED.
When the retest window expires, it can display SETUP EXPIRED.
Removing invalidated or stale zones helps prevent outdated FVGs from creating later entries outside their intended context.
Users can disable automatic invalidation removal if they prefer to retain more zones visually.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📟 DASHBOARD
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The script includes a compact dashboard positioned in the bottom-right corner.
The dashboard displays:
• BIAS
• STATE
• ENTRY
• TP1
• TP2
• TP3
• SL
BIAS uses the confirmed higher-timeframe filter when that filter is enabled and valid.
Otherwise, it reflects the current internal structure bias.
STATE is powered by the Blocker Lens.
Possible states include:
• WAITING STRUCTURE
• SCANNING FVG
• NO ELIGIBLE FVG
• FVG ARMED
• RETEST DELAY
• WAITING RETEST
• VOLUME BLOCK
• DI BLOCK
• HTF BLOCK
• WEAK REACTION
• GRADE BLOCK
• LIVE PREVIEW READY
• WAITING BAR CLOSE
• TRADE ACTIVE
• COOLDOWN
• SETUP EXPIRED
• FVG INVALIDATED
The dashboard size can be set to Micro, Compact, or Standard.
The dashboard is designed to summarize engine state and current price references.
It is not a performance report.
It is not a replacement for PulseWire Strategy Tester.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🚨 ALERT SYSTEM
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
FVG Retest Entry Engine includes advanced alert options for:
• FVG armed
• bullish FVG Retest entry
• bearish FVG Retest entry
• any FVG Retest entry
• TP1 reached
• TP2 reached
• TP3 reached
• breakeven activated
• stop loss
• breakeven exit
Alert packages include:
Off
Qualified Entries
Premium Entries
Full Lifecycle
Webhook JSON
Qualified Entries focuses on confirmed accepted entries.
Premium Entries applies stricter grade-based alert delivery.
Full Lifecycle includes entry and management events.
Webhook JSON sends structured event messages for external processing.
Alert Direction can be limited to Both Directions, Bullish Only, or Bearish Only.
Minimum Alert Grade can be set to All Qualified, A / A+, or A+ Only.
Alert filtering affects alert delivery only.
It does not change the chart’s signal calculations.
alertcondition(tws_armed_alert_event, title="trade_w_samet • FVG ARMED", message='trade_w_samet FVG ARMED | {{ticker}} | TF: {{interval}} | Score: {{plot("SIGNAL_SCORE")}}')
alertcondition(tws_entry_alert_event and tws_trade_direction == 1, title="trade_w_samet • BULLISH FVG RETEST", message='trade_w_samet BULLISH FVG RETEST | {{ticker}} | TF: {{interval}} | Score: {{plot("SIGNAL_SCORE")}} | Entry: {{plot("ENTRY")}} | SL: {{plot("SL")}} | TP1: {{plot("TP1")}} | TP2: {{plot("TP2")}} | TP3: {{plot("TP3")}}')
alertcondition(tws_entry_alert_event and tws_trade_direction == -1, title="trade_w_samet • BEARISH FVG RETEST", message='trade_w_samet BEARISH FVG RETEST | {{ticker}} | TF: {{interval}} | Score: {{plot("SIGNAL_SCORE")}} | Entry: {{plot("ENTRY")}} | SL: {{plot("SL")}} | TP1: {{plot("TP1")}} | TP2: {{plot("TP2")}} | TP3: {{plot("TP3")}}')
alertcondition(tws_tp1_alert_event, title="trade_w_samet • TP1 REACHED", message='trade_w_samet TP1 REACHED | {{ticker}} | TP1: {{plot("TP1")}}')
alertcondition(tws_stop_alert_event, title="trade_w_samet • STOP LOSS", message='trade_w_samet STOP LOSS | {{ticker}} | SL: {{plot("SL")}}')
Alerts are monitoring tools only.
They do not execute trades or place broker orders.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔔 HOW TO USE ALERTS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
A practical alert workflow:
1. Add FVG Retest Entry Engine to the chart.
2. Select the desired Engine Style and confirmation settings.
3. Open PulseWire’s alert window.
4. Select the indicator as the alert condition.
5. Choose the desired entry or lifecycle condition.
6. Select the alert frequency appropriate for confirmed-candle monitoring.
7. Use the Alert Package, direction, and grade controls inside the indicator when needed.
8. Add a webhook URL only when using a compatible external workflow.
9. Test the alert configuration before depending on it.
10. Confirm every event with personal analysis and risk management.
For confirmed entry monitoring, users should avoid treating provisional realtime candle conditions as permanent signals.
Entry alerts are designed around the script’s confirmed event variables.
Alert delivery can still depend on PulseWire servers, the user’s alert configuration, data availability, and any external webhook destination.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🧪 HOW TO USE THE INDICATOR
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
A practical workflow:
1. Add FVG Retest Entry Engine to a standard candlestick chart.
2. Begin with Original Sync or Balanced Flow.
3. Keep Signal Timing on Confirmed Close for the clearest workflow.
4. Use Selected Gap to keep the chart focused.
5. Observe the dashboard STATE value.
6. Wait for a confirmed structure event and an armed FVG.
7. Review the FVG zone before the retest occurs.
8. When price returns, allow the selected retest model and filters to complete.
9. Review the FVG Retest Passport when an entry appears.
10. Use the displayed Entry, SL, TP1, TP2, and TP3 as visual references only.
11. Evaluate whether the setup fits personal structure, liquidity, session, and risk rules.
12. Use alerts for monitoring rather than blind execution.
13. Review completed FVG Retest labels to understand the model lifecycle.
14. Test settings on the exact markets and timeframes personally studied.
The indicator is best used as a structured FVG retest review tool.
It should not be used as an automatic decision-maker.

🧠 WHAT MAKES THIS SCRIPT ORIGINAL
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
FVG Retest Entry Engine uses familiar analytical concepts such as:
• Fair Value Gaps
• swing-point structure
• BOS and CHoCH
• ATR
• volume analysis
• DI / ADX
• higher-timeframe EMA bias
• risk/reward projection
• staged targets
• breakeven management
These concepts are not unique by themselves.
The originality of this script lies in how they are organized into a transparent FVG retest workflow:
Structure confirmation
→ directional FVG memory
→ contextual candidate comparison
→ selected armed zone
→ configurable retest validation
→ reaction-quality evaluation
→ optional volume, DI, and HTF checkpoints
→ setup grading
→ confirmed-close entry commitment
→ three-target visual management
→ optional breakeven movement
→ completed FVG Retest archiving
→ Blocker Lens state reporting
→ Passport explanation
→ lifecycle alerts
Distinctive implementation features include:
• structure-linked FVG selection instead of signaling every gap
• multiple Engine Style profiles
• Original Sync market calibrations
• an armed-zone state before entry
• candidate ranking using several FVG characteristics
• multiple retest models
• a visible reason when an entry is waiting or blocked
• a Passport explaining accepted setup context
• confirmed-close permanent signal commitment
• previous-completed HTF values
• executed FVG zone preservation
• three-stage target management
• Desktop and Mobile display modes
• alert filtering separated from chart calculations
This structure is designed to provide a focused and explainable review process without relying on hidden prediction claims.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚠️ IMPORTANT PRACTICAL NOTES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The script’s behavior depends heavily on settings and market conditions.
Signal frequency and visual output may change based on:
• Engine Style
• structure sensitivity
• close-based or wick-based breaks
• break momentum requirements
• minimum FVG width
• displacement filtering
• candidate-score threshold
• previous zone interactions
• FVG lifetime
• retest model
• reaction-strength threshold
• retest delay
• setup expiry
• volume filter settings
• DI / ADX settings
• HTF timeframe and EMA lengths
• minimum setup grade
• stop model
• target multiples
• signal cooldown
• timeframe
• symbol volatility
• market session
• available historical bars
A setting that appears clean on one market may behave differently on another.
A profile that produces suitable frequency on one timeframe may be too strict or too active on another.
Volume behavior can differ across asset classes and data providers.
Higher-timeframe filtering only operates as intended when the selected bias timeframe is genuinely higher than the chart timeframe.
Users should test the exact symbol, timeframe, profile, and session they personally study.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚠️ LIMITATIONS AND SHORTCOMINGS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
This script has important limitations:
It does not guarantee profitable trades.
It does not predict future price movement.
It does not replace risk management.
It does not execute trades.
It does not place broker orders.
It does not include broker slippage.
It does not include commissions.
It does not include spreads.
It does not include execution delay.
It does not include partial-fill behavior.
It uses bar-based chart data.
Same-candle TP / SL order cannot be known from standard OHLC data.
Same-Candle Priority is a modeling assumption.
Live Preview can change intrabar because the realtime candle is unfinished.
Permanent entry models are committed only after bar close.
Confirmed pivots require future bars before becoming available as confirmed swing points.
The dashboard is not PulseWire Strategy Tester.
The internal target-share model is not account-performance reporting.
Historical boxes and completed labels do not guarantee similar future behavior.
Setup grades are internal classifications, not win probabilities.
Filter settings do not guarantee improved future results.
Higher-timeframe values depend on selected timeframe and available data.
Data-feed revisions or chart-history differences can affect historical calculations.
Alert delivery depends on PulseWire and the user’s alert configuration.
Webhook delivery also depends on the external destination.
One-active-trade logic is a visual management rule, not broker execution logic.
For these reasons, FVG Retest Entry Engine should be used as an educational decision-support and chart-analysis tool, not as a standalone automated trading strategy.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
👤 WHO THIS SCRIPT MAY BE USEFUL FOR
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
This script may be useful for traders who:
• study Fair Value Gap retests
• use BOS and CHoCH context
• prefer selected FVGs instead of every raw gap
• want a visible armed-zone workflow
• want to understand why a setup is waiting or blocked
• prefer confirmed-close entries

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🧭 BEST PRACTICE SUGGESTIONS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
For cleaner review:
• Start with Original Sync or Balanced Flow.
• Keep Signal Timing on Confirmed Close.
• Use Selected Gap to reduce chart clutter.
• Enable Blocker Lens while learning the engine workflow.
• Use Compact Passport for concise context.
• Use Detailed Passport when reviewing why a setup qualified.
• Review the armed FVG before the entry appears.
• Check whether the FVG retest agrees with personal market-structure analysis.
• Evaluate the displayed stop against nearby structure and volatility.
• Treat TP1, TP2, and TP3 as planning references only.
• Keep Protective First when a conservative same-candle assumption is preferred.
• Use Precision Flow when fewer, stricter setups are preferred.
• Use Fast Flow only after understanding its higher signal frequency.
• Use Custom Lab only after learning how each threshold affects the engine.
• Use Mobile layout on smaller screens.
• Use alerts for monitoring, not blind execution.
• Always apply independent analysis, risk management, and position sizing.

Candle Displacement [D4A]Quantifying Market Momentum
Spotting sudden, aggressive price action often called displacement doesn't have to be a guessing game. Finding who is in control - buyers or sellers - can be as easy as looking for candles with specific colors. The script objectively track these explosive price moves by comparing candle's range against multiple of ATR over a specific lookback period (ATR Length).
True displacement should create a gap or FVG (Fair Value Gap) which indicates strong price move in one direction and this script provides the logic to catch this specific scenario while filtering out noise. Additionally, the cript marks break-of-structure displacement candles to highlight the beginning of strong directional move or a reversal. There is also filter provided to find only candles with significant gap created (FVG threshold). This script works best on smaller timeframes, eg. 1m or 5m.
SETTINGS
- Displacement - show displacement candles
- Min Body % - displacement candle should have at least this body size compared to whole candle range
- Require FVG - filters out the candles which don't create a gap. True displacement should create FVG
- Threshold - a valid FVG should be larger than this ATR multiplier
- Highlight candles which broke structure - color-codes the candles that broke recent market structure (high or low)
- Bars to define recent high/low (structure) - how many bars back should the script look to find recent high or low
- ATR length - ATR value over period of time to calculate average candle range
- Multiplier - used to find candles which are this times bigger than average ATR

Liquidity & Volume Profile Framework [invincible3]Liquidity & Volume Profile Framework
The Liquidity & Volume Profile Framework is a price-action and volume-profile framework designed to help traders identify high-probability trading zones using liquidity, value area structure, fair value gaps, and volume confirmation.
This indicator is built around the idea that strong trades usually happen when price reacts around important institutional zones such as POC, VAH, VAL, HVN/LVN areas, and liquidity pools created around equal highs and equal lows.
The tool does not simply give random buy or sell signals. Instead, it maps the market structure so the trader can wait for proper confluence before entering.
Core Concept
This indicator follows a structured institutional trading workflow:
Step 1 — Read the Market Structure
The indicator identifies key volume-profile levels:
POC — Point of Control
The price level with the highest volume concentration inside the selected lookback range.
VAH / VAL — Value Area High and Value Area Low
The upper and lower boundary of the value area, based on the selected value-area percentage.
HVN / LVN Zones
High-volume and low-volume areas are displayed as volume-profile bars.
HVN zones can act like magnets, while LVN zones often behave like thin liquidity zones where price can move quickly.
BSL / SSL Liquidity Pools
The indicator tracks swing highs and swing lows to identify potential buy-side liquidity and sell-side liquidity.
Step 2 — Wait for a Trigger
The indicator highlights possible institutional reaction triggers:
Liquidity Sweep
A bullish sweep occurs when price takes out a prior swing low and closes back above it.
A bearish sweep occurs when price takes out a prior swing high and closes back below it.
This helps identify possible stop-hunt behavior around liquidity pools.
Fair Value Gap — FVG
Bullish and bearish imbalance zones are detected automatically.
These areas can act as retracement zones where price may return before continuation.
VA / POC Touch
Reactions around VAH, VAL, or POC can provide important confluence when combined with sweep or FVG logic.
Step 3 — Confirm with Volume
The indicator includes a volume spike condition.
A volume spike is detected when current volume is greater than the selected moving-average volume multiplied by the chosen spike multiplier.
By default, the logic uses:
Volume > 1.5 × Average Volume
This helps highlight moments where institutional participation may be stronger than normal.
Step 4 — Entry Logic
The strongest setups usually appear when multiple conditions align in the same zone:
Liquidity sweep + FVG fill + VAH / VAL / POC reaction + volume spike
Example bullish setup:
Price sweeps sell-side liquidity below a prior swing low, closes back above the level, returns into a bullish FVG, reacts near VAL or POC, and shows increased volume.
Example bearish setup:
Price sweeps buy-side liquidity above a prior swing high, closes back below the level, returns into a bearish FVG, reacts near VAH or POC, and shows increased volume.
Step 5 — Risk Framework
The indicator is designed to support structured risk planning:
Stop Loss
Usually placed just beyond the swept liquidity level.
Target 1
Often the POC or opposite value-area boundary.
Target 2
The opposing liquidity pool or major high-volume / low-volume area.
Visual Legend
Orange line — POC
Dotted adaptive lines — VAH / VAL
Gold bars — High-volume areas / HVN
Purple bars — Low-volume areas / LVN
Green dashed sweep line — Sell-side liquidity sweep
Red dashed sweep line — Buy-side liquidity sweep
Green boxes — Bullish Fair Value Gaps
Red boxes — Bearish Fair Value Gaps
Gold circles — Volume spike confirmation
Main Features
Automatic fixed-lookback volume profile
POC, VAH, and VAL calculation
High-volume and low-volume profile bars
Bullish and bearish liquidity sweep detection
Buy-side and sell-side liquidity mapping
Automatic bullish and bearish FVG zones
FVG extension until fill or expiry
Volume spike confirmation using volume moving average
Theme-adaptive colors for dark and light charts
Institutional-style visual framework
Clean overlay design for price-action trading
Best Timeframes
This tool works best when used with a top-down approach.
For structure:
4H / Daily
For entries:
15m / 1H
Recommended workflow:
Use higher timeframe to identify POC, VAH, VAL, HVN, LVN, and major liquidity pools.
Then use lower timeframe to wait for liquidity sweep, FVG reaction, rejection candle, and volume confirmation.
Suggested Settings
For intraday trading:
VP Lookback: 100–200
VP Rows: 40–60
Value Area: 70%
Pivot Length: 5–10
Volume MA: 20
Volume Spike Multiplier: 1.5
For swing trading:
VP Lookback: 200–300
VP Rows: 50–80
Value Area: 70%
Pivot Length: 10–20
Volume MA: 20–50
Volume Spike Multiplier: 1.5–2.0
Important Notes
This indicator is not a standalone buy/sell signal system.
It is a confluence framework.
The highest-quality trades usually occur when liquidity, volume profile, imbalance, candle rejection, and volume confirmation all align in the same area.
Always wait for candle-close confirmation before entering.
Use proper stop loss and risk management. Indicator
[Viprasol] Equilibrium Confluence EngineOverview
The Viprasol Equilibrium Confluence Engine is an original indicator that requires five independent, well-known trading conditions to agree before it prints a signal: an EMA trend filter, Fibonacci premium/discount location, a market-structure shift (CHoCH), a liquidity sweep, and a Fair Value Gap. Each of these concepts answers a different question about a trade — direction, location, structure, intent, and imbalance — and the engine only confirms when all of the enabled conditions line up on the same side within a configurable window. The on-chart panels (HOW IT WORKS legend, a live confluence checklist, and a strategy summary) make the logic self-explanatory directly on the chart.
It is built for traders who want a single, transparent confluence check instead of running five separate indicators and eyeballing whether they agree.
Why These Components Belong Together (Mashup Justification)
Each layer covers a dimension the others cannot, which is the reason they are combined rather than used alone:
- The EMA trend filter answers "which direction?" but says nothing about where to enter.
- Fibonacci equilibrium answers "is price cheap or expensive within the range?" but not whether momentum agrees.
- Market structure (CHoCH) answers "has the prevailing structure actually shifted?" but a shift alone can be a trap.
- The liquidity sweep answers "did price take liquidity before moving?" — the footprint that often precedes a real move — but needs direction and location to be actionable.
- The Fair Value Gap answers "is there an institutional imbalance for price to react to?" but an FVG in the wrong location or against the trend is low quality.
Used together, a signal only appears when momentum, location, structure, intent, and imbalance all point the same way — the combination is the point, not any single piece.
How It Works
1. EMA Trend Filter:
Two EMAs (default 9 and 15). The trend is bullish when the fast EMA is above the slow EMA and bearish when below. BUY confluence requires bullish trend; SELL requires bearish.
2. Fibonacci Equilibrium (dealing range):
The most recent confirmed swing high and swing low (from pivots of the swing length) define a dealing range. The 0.5 level is equilibrium; 0.236 and 0.786 are also drawn. Below 0.5 is the Discount zone (a relatively cheap "buy area"); above 0.5 is the Premium zone ("sell area"). BUY confluence requires price in discount; SELL requires premium. The range, levels, and zones are shaded and labeled with live prices.
3. Market Structure — CHoCH / BOS:
Swing highs and lows are tracked. When price closes through the prior swing high while structure was not already bullish, a bullish Change of Character (CHoCH) is marked; closing through the prior swing low while not already bearish marks a bearish CHoCH. Continuation breaks in the same direction are labeled BOS. BUY confluence requires a bullish CHoCH within the confluence window; SELL requires a bearish one.
4. Liquidity Sweep:
Sell-side liquidity is considered swept when a bar wicks below a prior swing low but closes back above it (stops taken, price rejected) — a bullish footprint. Buy-side liquidity is swept when a bar wicks above a prior swing high and closes back below — a bearish footprint. BUY confluence requires a recent bullish sweep; SELL a bearish one.
5. Fair Value Gap (FVG):
A bullish FVG is a 3-candle imbalance where the current low is above the high two bars back (low > high ); a bearish FVG is where the current high is below the low two bars back (high < low ). The gap is boxed and tracked. BUY confluence requires price inside a bullish FVG or a recent bullish FVG within the window; SELL the bearish equivalent.
Confluence Engine:
Each condition can be individually included or excluded. CHoCH, sweep, and FVG are event-based, so they remain "active" for a configurable Confluence Window (default 15 bars) using barssince, allowing the five conditions to line up even if they did not occur on the exact same bar. A confirmed BUY fires on the first bar all enabled BUY conditions are simultaneously true (and a SELL for the bear side), gated by a cooldown to prevent repeats. The dashboard shows a live BUY/SELL score out of 5, and the checklist panel shows exactly which conditions are met.
Risk Overlay:
On a confirmed signal, the engine projects Entry (signal close), Stop-Loss (beyond the relevant swing extreme plus an ATR buffer), and Take-Profit (Entry ± risk × Risk:Reward), with colored ENTRY/SL/TP price labels. Only the latest signal's projection is kept.
Key Features
- Five-factor confluence: EMA trend, Fib equilibrium, CHoCH structure, liquidity sweep, FVG
- Each factor independently toggleable in/out of the confluence
- Configurable confluence window so event-based factors can align
- Live BUY/SELL confluence score (x/5) and a tick/cross checklist panel
- Auto dealing range with 0 / 0.236 / 0.5 / 0.786 / 1 levels and shaded premium/discount zones
- CHoCH / BOS and liquidity-sweep labels
- FVG zone boxes that track until filled
- Entry/SL/TP risk overlay with price labels
- On-chart HOW IT WORKS legend and STRATEGY SUMMARY footer
- Signal cooldown to prevent clustering
- Seven alert conditions with dynamic {{ticker}}/{{close}}/{{interval}} messages
How to Use
Getting Started:
1. Add to a standard candlestick chart (not Heikin Ashi).
2. Read the HOW IT WORKS panel (left) and the live confluence checklist (right).
3. A BUY/SELL label prints only when every enabled condition is aligned; Entry/SL/TP project from it.
Tuning Confluence:
- For more signals, turn off one or two of the stricter conditions (e.g. FVG) or widen the Confluence Window.
- For higher conviction, keep all five on and shorten the window so conditions must be tightly clustered.
Recommended Starting Points:
- Intraday (5m-15m): Swing Length 10-12, Confluence Window 12-15, Cooldown 8
- Swing (1H-4H): Swing Length 15-20, Confluence Window 20, Cooldown 12
- Looser entries: disable FVG and/or Liquidity, keep Trend + Equilibrium + CHoCH
These are starting points only — every market and timeframe behaves differently. Backtest and adjust before trading live.
Settings
1 EMA Trend Filter: fast EMA, slow EMA, include-in-confluence toggle.
2 Fibonacci Equilibrium: swing pivot length, use discount/premium toggle, show range & levels, shade zones.

On-Chart Panels: toggles for HOW IT WORKS, confluence checklist, strategy summary.
Dashboard: live dashboard toggle and position.
Alerts
1. Confirmed BUY — all enabled bullish conditions aligned
2. Confirmed SELL — all enabled bearish conditions aligned
3. Any Signal — either direction confirmed
4. Bullish CHoCH — a bullish change of character occurred
5. Bearish CHoCH — a bearish change of character occurred
6. Bullish Liquidity Sweep — sell-side liquidity was swept
7. Bearish Liquidity Sweep — buy-side liquidity was swept
All alerts include {{ticker}}, {{close}}, and {{interval}} for dynamic notification messages.
Limitations & Disclaimer
- Swing-based features (range, structure, liquidity) depend on confirmed pivots, which lag by the swing length; very recent swings are not yet confirmed.
- The dealing range uses the latest confirmed swing high and low; in strong one-directional moves the range can become stale until a new swing forms.
- CHoCH detection here uses closing breaks of the last swing; it is a practical approximation of the structure concept, not a full multi-leg structure model.
- FVG detection is the standard 3-candle definition and tracks only the most recent gap per direction for confluence.
- The confluence window means conditions need not occur on the same bar; widening it loosens signal quality, narrowing it tightens it — there is no single correct value.
- Entry/SL/TP lines are visual references only and do not place or manage trades.
- Past performance does not guarantee future results. This indicator is for educational and analytical purposes only and is not financial advice. Always use proper risk management and test on historical data before trading live.

FVG/IFVG [CRODL]█ OVERVIEW
This indicator detects Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) on up to five timeframes at once, tracks every gap it draws, and invalidates each one automatically the moment price fills it. A filled gap can be deleted, kept on the chart cut off at the candle that filled it, or flipped into an Inversion Fair Value Gap (iFVG) - the same zone watched with the opposite bias. What makes the script useful is that it manages the full life cycle of every zone in one tool: detect, track, fill-check on every bar, invert, and expire - across multiple timeframes, with a choice of close-based or wick-based fill logic, and without repainting committed zones.
█ CONCEPTS
Fair Value Gap (FVG)
An FVG is a three-candle imbalance, a concept popularized in ICT / "smart money" style trading. A bullish FVG forms when the low of the third candle stays above the high of the first candle: price moved up so fast that the middle candle left a slice of untraded space behind it. A bearish FVG is the mirror image - the high of the third candle stays below the low of the first. The space between those two levels is the zone this script draws. Traders typically watch unfilled gaps as areas price may revisit ("rebalance") before continuing.
Inversion Fair Value Gap (iFVG)
An iFVG is a gap that failed. When price closes through a bullish FVG instead of respecting it, many traders treat that same zone as resistance afterwards - a support/resistance flip applied to imbalances. This script performs the flip automatically: the box changes to the iFVG colors and label, and the inversion zone remains active until price trades back through its far side, at which point it is removed as well.
█ HOW IT WORKS
Detection
On every enabled timeframe the script tests the last three confirmed candles. A bullish gap is registered when the low of the newest candle is above the high of the oldest one; a bearish gap when the high of the newest candle is below the low of the oldest one. The gap is committed the moment its third candle closes, and the box is anchored at the middle candle where the imbalance was created.
Higher-timeframe data
Higher-timeframe candles are requested on confirmed bars only, using bar offsets (the publication-safe request technique recommended by PineCoders). No future data is accessed, and committed zones print in the same place historically and in real time — they do not repaint.
Live preview
With "Wait for candle close to identify FVGs" turned OFF, a provisional box is drawn while the third candle is still forming. It expands and contracts with the developing high/low, becomes permanent only if the gap survives the candle close, and is removed if the wick closes the gap first. Turn the setting ON if you prefer to see confirmed gaps only.
Invalidation engine
Every active zone is stored internally and re-checked on every chart bar:
• A bullish FVG is filled when price breaks below the BOTTOM of its zone.
• A bearish FVG is filled when price breaks above the TOP of its zone.
• "Close" mode requires a confirmed candle close beyond the level; "Wick" mode triggers on a single touch.
When a gap fills it is either deleted (default), kept on the chart truncated at the fill candle, or inverted into an iFVG - depending on your settings. An iFVG is then invalidated by the same Close/Wick rule, mirrored to its new direction.
█ SETTINGS AND HOW TO USE IT
• Timeframes - the chart timeframe plus up to four higher ones (15m / 1h / 4h / 1D by default). "Hide FVGs from timeframes lower than the chart" keeps the chart clean when you move up a timeframe.
• Filled FVG Type - Close (stricter) or Wick (more sensitive).
• Show FVG / Show iFVG - display fresh gaps, inversion zones, or both.
• Delete Boxes after fill - ON shows only zones that are still valid; OFF keeps a visual history of filled gaps, each cut off where it was filled.
• Extend Boxes + Label Distance - stretch active zones to the right edge of the chart with floating labels.
• Per-timeframe label text, plus full color and border control for FVG and iFVG boxes.
• Max bars back - how much history to scan (performance guard).
Typical use: treat unfilled gaps as potential reaction zones in the direction of the prevailing move, look for multi-timeframe confluence (for example a 15m gap sitting inside a 4h gap), and watch iFVGs as flip zones after a gap fails. The script marks and manages zones - it does not generate buy or sell signals. Combine it with your own market-structure analysis and risk management.
█ ALERTS
Alert conditions are included: Bullish FVG created, Bearish FVG created, FVG inverted bearish (a bullish gap was invalidated), and FVG inverted bullish (a bearish gap was invalidated).
█ NOTES AND LIMITATIONS
• Invalidation is evaluated against chart-timeframe candles. On a low timeframe a higher-timeframe gap can therefore be invalidated by a lower-timeframe close - this makes mitigation responsive, but it means the exact moment a higher-timeframe zone disappears can differ slightly depending on the chart timeframe you are viewing.
• With "Wait for candle close" OFF, the preview box on the still-forming candle keeps updating until that candle closes. This is by design and only affects the live, unconfirmed candle - committed zones never change.
• Up to 500 boxes and labels are kept on the chart; beyond that, the oldest zones are recycled first.
This is an educational tool, not financial advice. Past behavior of price around these zones does not guarantee future results.
Indicator
Fair Value Gaps + Inversion FVG [Quantum Algo]Fair Value Gaps + Inversion FVG
█ OVERVIEW
Most FVG indicators stop at drawing boxes. This one tracks the complete lifecycle of every gap — fresh → midline-tested → filled → INVERTED → retested — and automates the part of the model that traders actually trade: the Inversion Fair Value Gap (IFVG).
A Fair Value Gap is a 3-candle imbalance left behind when price moves too fast for two-sided trade to occur. Price frequently returns to these zones. But when price closes through a gap instead of respecting it, the zone does not die — it flips polarity. A violated bullish gap becomes resistance; a violated bearish gap becomes support. The first retest of that inverted zone is one of the cleanest entry models in the Smart Money Concepts framework, and this script detects, restyles, and signals it automatically.
█ FEATURES
Gap detection
— Bullish and bearish FVGs detected on confirmed bars only (non-repainting).
— ATR minimum-size filter removes insignificant micro-gaps.
— Optional displacement filter: the middle candle must be a genuine expansion bar (range greater than a configurable multiple of ATR), keeping only gaps created by aggressive participation.
Volume strength score
Every gap is stamped with a 0–100 score comparing the displacement candle's volume against its 20-bar average. A 90% gap and a 20% gap are not the same zone — now you can see the difference at a glance.
Consequent Encroachment (CE)
Each gap carries its 50% midline. The first touch of the CE is detected, the gap is visually dimmed to separate tested zones from fresh ones, and an alert is available.
Inversion engine (IFVG)
— A close through the gap converts it into an inverted zone with distinct styling.
— The first retest of an inverted zone prints an on-chart signal (long model for inverted bearish gaps, short model for inverted bullish gaps).
— A close back through the far side invalidates and removes the zone.
— Inversion can be disabled, in which case gaps simply fill and are removed or frozen (wick-fill or close-fill modes).
Multi-timeframe mode
Display gaps from one higher timeframe directly on your chart as dashed boxes. HTF gaps are built exclusively from closed higher-timeframe bars, so they do not repaint.
Dashboard
A compact panel shows active bullish gaps, bearish gaps, inverted zones, plus the nearest demand level below price and the nearest supply level above it.
Alerts
Eight alert conditions cover the full lifecycle: new bullish/bearish gap, CE touch, fill, bullish/bearish inversion, and long/short IFVG retest.
█ HOW DETECTION WORKS
A bullish FVG forms when the current bar's low sits entirely above the high from two bars earlier — the zone spans that void. A bearish FVG is the mirror image. Detection runs only on bar close, so a gap that appears never disappears or redraws. Lifecycle state changes (CE touches, fills, inversions, retests) are likewise evaluated on confirmed bars.
█ HOW TO USE IT
1. Classic continuation: in a trend, wait for price to retrace into a fresh high-strength gap aligned with the trend; the CE midline is the standard entry refinement.
2. Inversion reversal: when a gap is closed through, stop looking for the old reaction — wait for the retest of the inverted zone in the new direction. The on-chart IFVG markers identify exactly this moment.
3. Multi-timeframe confluence: enable HTF mode and prioritize chart-timeframe signals that occur inside a higher-timeframe gap.
4. Use the dashboard's nearest demand/supply readout for quick situational awareness of where the next reaction zones sit.
Works on all symbols and timeframes. Crypto and index futures tend to produce the cleanest gaps on 5m–1H; forex gaps are more frequent on 15m and above.
█ SETTINGS
Detection — minimum gap size (× ATR), displacement filter, maximum zones kept on chart.
Mitigation & Inversion — inversion on/off, fill source (close or wick), removal of filled gaps, retest signals.
Multi-Timeframe — HTF on/off and timeframe selection.
Visuals — colors for bullish / bearish / inverted zones, fill transparency, CE line, labels, dimming of tested gaps, dashboard.
█ NOTES
— All state changes occur on closed bars; the developing bar can always change until it closes.
— This is an analysis tool for mapping imbalance and inversion zones, intended as a confluence layer within a complete trading plan. It is not a standalone buy/sell system.
