Market Structure Break & OB Probability Toolkit [LuxAlgo]The Market Structure Break & OB Probability Toolkit indicator provides an institutional framework for identifying high-probability liquidity zones and significant market structure transitions using momentum-based filters and volume analysis.
🔶 USAGE
The indicator aims to provide a systematic approach to structural analysis, allowing traders to identify clear institutional footprints. By integrating statistical filters, the tool helps isolate high-conviction signals from market noise.
🔹 Market Structure Breaks (MSB)
Unlike standard fractal-based breaks, the MSB logic in this toolkit utilizes a Momentum Z-Score filter . This ensures that structural shifts are only highlighted when price breaks a pivot with significant conviction.
Pivot Lookback: Custom sensitivity for identifying swing highs and lows.
Volatility Filtering: Only breaks exceeding the statistical threshold are labeled, helping traders avoid low-momentum fakeouts.
🔹 Institutional Order Blocks (OB)
The script automatically detects and manages Order Blocks based on the candle preceding an MSB. Every zone includes a Point of Control (POC) line for precise entry or target consideration.
Standard OBs: Formed during structural transitions, representing potential institutional interest.
High-Probability OBs (HP-OB): Zones identified with exceptionally high impulse and volume signatures (score > 80%). These are visually distinct to highlight their increased significance.
🔹 Session Range Integration
Traders can track the ranges of the London, New York, Tokyo, and Sydney sessions. This allows for the identification of structural breaks occurring at session extremes or during high-liquidity windows.
🔹 Strategy Application
Trend Direction: Identify the prevailing bias through MSB signals. A bullish MSB followed by a retracement into a Bullish OB provides a classic institutional entry scenario.
Zone Confluence: Look for High-Probability OBs that align with Session Highs/Lows for increased trade conviction.
Re-test Analysis: Enable "Extend Broken OBs" to see how price interacts with flipped liquidity zones.
🔶 DETAILS
The toolkit utilizes several advanced logic components to maintain chart clarity and analytical depth:
Intelligent Mitigation Logic: Active zones are managed in real-time. Traders can choose between "Historical" (shows all past zones) or "Present" (shows only active zones) display modes.
Mitigated Extension: A specialized feature to extend recently broken zones, allowing for re-test analysis of formerly active liquidity.
Overlap Filter: Option to hide overlapping Order Blocks to maintain a clean, actionable chart.
🔹 Analytics Dashboard
The built-in dashboard provides a real-time performance suite:
OB Reliability: A percentage-based efficiency metric tracking how many detected zones have been successfully mitigated by price.
High-Prob Zone Count: A live counter of active HP-OBs currently remaining on the chart.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 Market Structure
Pivot Lookback: Defines the sensitivity of the market structure detection by adjusting the lookback period for pivots.
MSB Momentum Z-Score: Sets the statistical threshold for a price move to be considered a valid structural break.
🔹 Visuals
Display Mode: Toggles between showing historical mitigated zones or only currently active ones.
🔹 Order Blocks
Max Active OBs: Controls the maximum number of blocks stored and displayed on the chart.
Extend Broken OBs: If enabled, recently mitigated blocks will remain visible to observe potential re-tests.
Hide Overlapping OBs: Removes redundant zones that occupy the same price area as existing ones.
🔹 Sessions
Show Session Ranges: Global toggle for session visualizations.
Session Toggles: Individual controls to enable London, New York, Tokyo, or Sydney ranges with custom time and color inputs.

Market Structure Targets Model [LuxAlgo]The Market Structure Targets Model indicator provides an algorithmic approach to setting targets from market structure shifts (MSS) and market structure breaks (MSB), two popular Smart Money Concept (SMC) concepts. Depending on the target % settings, they can be used as take profit, confirmation levels, or potential reversal points.
🔶 USAGE
Our Market Structure Targets Model scripts provide automated and customizable targets from MSS and MSB. Each displayed target can be used in several ways described in the sub-sections below:
🔹 Take Profit
The targets can be used as take profit levels, where the target distance can be set separately for bullish/bearish MSS/MSB respectively.
🔹 Confirmation Levels
Alternatively, targets can be used as an additional confirmation level of a trend reversal when set at a lower percentage, filtering out fake signals that might be given from market structures. In this way, targets can be used as potential entry levels.
🔹 Potential Reversal Points
In some circumstances, targets being reached can be indicative of trend reversals. The percentage of the targets would be typically set higher to allow for trend exhaustion.
The above examples highlight this usage for bearish reversal scenarios, while the image below highlights it for bullish reversal scenarios.
🔹 Support/Resistance Levels
The targets, being horizontal levels, can also serve as potential support/resistances, with breakouts potentially confirming new trends. It is important to remain observant of the market structure. An MSS or MSB in the opposite direction provides essential information to be included in future decisions.
Using multiple timeframes can help detect longer-term trends. Depending on the user's preference, they can choose the appropriate timeframe for their needs.
Note that Target lines will only be drawn when the Target Level exceeds the close value when it is drawn.
🔹 Maximum Target Duration
The Maximum Target Duration setting removes unreached target levels when the amount of bars since the associated market structure of that target exceeds the user set limit. This effectively allows the removal of any target that might no longer be relevant to newer trends.
🔹 Type: Switch/Hold
This setting is another way to control unreached target levels.
Switch: When a new MSS/MSB is found, the previous target level associated with a market structure with the same direction (bullish/bearish) is deleted if it hasn't been reached.
Hold: Target levels are retained and continuously evaluated when a new MSS/MSB is formed.
The target level will be removed in both cases when the Maximum Target Duration condition is applied.
The above example shows the case when the Type setting is set to Switch , while in the example below, it is set to Hold .
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Market Structure
Market structures are commonly classified as follows:
Market Structure Shift (MSS), also referred to as Change of Character (CHoCH)
Market Structure Break (MSB), also referred to as Break of Structure (BOS)
MSS indicates a shift in the market trend, confirming trend reversals. Conversely, MSB occurs once a trend is already determined, confirming new higher highs/lower lows.
🔹 Targets
A: Highest/lowest between the extremities of the MSS/MSB line
B: Price value of the MSS/MSB line
The distance between A and B is projected on the opposite side of the MSS/MSB line, adjusted with a percentage that can be set by the user. The above example used 100% of the distance between A and B.
The Target Percentage of MSS and MSB can be set separately for bullish or bearish market structures.
🔶 SETTINGS
Swings: Period used for the swing detection, with higher values returning longer-term Swing Levels.
Type: the Switch/Hold setting controls unattained target levels
Maximum Target Duration: removes the target lines when the amount of bars since the drawing of the target exceeds the limit and the target has not been reached

Market Structures SMC [TradingFinder] BOS/CHoCH Major & Minor🟣Introduction
Understanding market structure involves analyzing market behavior. In other words, market structure encompasses how the market forms and evolves within trends.
Market structures are typically fractal and nested, so we categorize them into internal (minor) and external (major) structures. There are various definitions of market structure, with different approaches such as Smart Money and ICT providing their own interpretations.
🟣How to Use
The first step in identifying market structure is to analyze key highs and lows. An uptrend is formed when highs and lows are successively higher than previous ones. Similarly, in a downtrend, lows and highs are successively lower than previous ones.
Market trends consist of two types of movements :
•Impulsive movements
•Corrective movements
Impulsive movements align with the main trend and possess high strength and momentum. Conversely, corrective movements go against the main trend and have lower strength and momentum. The following example illustrates these concepts.
🔵 Identifying Break of Structure (BOS)
In a specific trend, for example in a downtrend, when the price breaks below the previous low and forms a new low (LL), a Break of Structure occurs. In an uptrend, a BOS (Market Structure Break or MSB) happens when the price rises and surpasses the last high.
We need at least one BOS to confirm a trend. Breaking above or below the previous high or low must be confirmed by closing at least one candle after that level.
🔵 Identifying Change of Character (CHOCH)
Change of Character (CHOCH) is a key concept in market structure analysis. A change in structure signals a trend change. In other words, a trend ends with a CHOCH (Market Structure Shift or MSS). For instance, in a downtrend, the price declines with BOS.
BOS indicates the strength of the trend, but when the price increases and surpasses the last high, a CHOCH occurs, signaling a shift from a downtrend to an uptrend.
This does not mean entering a buy trade; instead, we should wait for a BOS in the upward direction to confirm the uptrend. Unlike BOS, confirming a CHOCH does not require a candle to close; simply breaking above or below the previous high or low with the candle's wick is sufficient. The following examples show bearish and bullish CHOCH.
🔵 Range Market Structure
Besides uptrends and downtrends, a third structure often found in the market is the range or sideways structure. In this state, the power of buyers and sellers is almost equal, and the market lacks a clear trend.
Many traders believe that the Forex market ranges 80% of the time. Therefore, it requires a lot of patience to wait for a new trend to start.
