Order Block Engine [JOAT]═══ ORDER BLOCK ENGINE ═══
Most order-block tools paint a fresh box on every candle and bury the chart. This one does the opposite. It only marks the last opposing-close candle that appears just before a genuine displacement leg — a move that closes through a confirmed swing by more than a volatility-scaled threshold, backed by a volume expansion. The result: only a handful of clean, unmitigated, high-grade zones survive on screen at once.
▎ WHAT IT DOES
It maps institutional-style order blocks, grades each one from 0 to 10 by ★ quality, extends the surviving zones to the right until price mitigates them, and fires a single clean BUY / SELL pill on a valid retest + reaction — complete with an R-multiple TP/SL zone construct. A grey/white and blue-chrome dashboard keeps the running read of structure, bias and zone quality in one corner.
▎ HOW IT WORKS
— Confirmed swing structure. Pivot highs and lows are tracked with a configurable lookback. Each swing stays "unbroken" until price genuinely closes through it.
— Displacement break. A bullish break needs an up-close candle that closes above the last swing high by more than Displacement × ATR ; a bearish break mirrors it below the swing low. ATR scaling means the threshold self-adjusts to any asset or timeframe.
— Volume confirmation. The breaking candle's volume must exceed its own moving-average baseline by the chosen multiplier. On symbols with no volume feed, this filter auto-skips.
— Order-block selection. Once a break is confirmed, the engine walks back through recent bars to find the last opposing-close candle — the down-close before a bullish break, or the up-close before a bearish break. That candle's high/low becomes the zone.
— ★ Grade (0-10). Each block is scored on three factors: how far the break displaced (in ATR), how strong the volume expansion was, and the body-to-range ratio of the origin candle. The composite maps to a 0-10 grade and a tier (WEAK → FAIR → SOLID → STRONG → ELITE).
— Mitigation & signals. Live zones extend right on each bar. If price closes fully through a zone, it is mitigated — frozen and greyed (or deleted). If instead price wicks back into the zone and the bar reacts back out with a close in the right direction, and the block's grade clears your minimum, a BUY / SELL signal fires. One signal per bar, longs take priority.
— Trade construct. On a signal the engine builds an entry line at close, a stop a buffer beyond the zone edge (× ATR), and TP1 / TP2 at your chosen R multiples — drawn as green TARGET and red RISK zone boxes that extend, then freeze when SL or TP2 is touched.
▎ HOW TO USE IT
— Treat the surviving zones as decision areas , not guarantees. A blue zone is a bullish order block; a slate zone is bearish. The ★ tag shows its grade at a glance.
— Wait for price to return into a zone. The engine only signals on a retest + reaction , so you are not chasing the initial impulse.
— Use the BUY / SELL pill's grade (e.g. ★★★★ 7.8/10) as a confidence read — higher grades reflect stronger displacement, volume and candle body.
— The TARGET ZONE and RISK ZONE boxes frame reward against risk before you commit. Entry, SL, TP1 and TP2 are all labelled with their R multiples.
— Grey zones are spent — they have already been mitigated and are kept only as context for prior structure.
— Combine with your own higher-timeframe bias; order blocks aligned with trend tend to be the cleaner reactions.
▎ KEY SETTINGS
— Engine: ATR length, structure pivot width, displacement break multiple, OB candle search depth, and bull/bear toggles.
— Filters: volume expansion on/off with baseline length and multiplier, minimum grade required to signal, and confirm-on-close to avoid intrabar repaint.
— Zones: show zones, max zones kept (4-6 recommended), extension length, fill transparency, ★ grade labels, keep-mitigated-grey toggle, and bull/bear colours.
— Signals & Risk: show BUY/SELL pills, draw TP/SL zone, stop buffer (× ATR), TP1 and TP2 R multiples, projection length, and max trade sets kept.
— Extras: optional zone-reader candle tinting and an optional VWAP + σ band.
▎ DASHBOARD
A compact panel (five positions, three text sizes) reports: current Bias , count of live Bullish and Bearish OBs, the Nearest zone level and its distance in %, the Strongest zone's grade and tier, the Last Mitigated zone, the Active Signal state, and running Signal and Trade W/L tallies. The W/L count is an illustrative record of how the historical construct resolved — not a performance promise.
▎ ALERTS
— OB Bullish Signal — fires on a bullish order-block retest + reaction.
— OB Bearish Signal — fires on a bearish order-block retest + reaction.
Both include ticker and interval in the message.
▎ NOTES
— Works on all timeframes and all assets ; ATR and volume baselines adapt automatically.
— Confirm On Bar Close evaluates detection, mitigation and signals on closed bars only, so confirmed signals do not repaint.
— Everything is toggleable — zones, grades, pills, trade boxes, candles, VWAP and dashboard — for a chart as clean or as detailed as you like.
— The volume filter self-disables on feeds without volume, so nothing breaks on those symbols.
For research and education only. This is not financial advice. No indicator can predict the future, and past behaviour never guarantees future results. Always do your own analysis and manage your own risk.

Schrodinger Zone Probability [JOAT]SCHRÖDINGER ZONE PROBABILITY
The most quantitatively ambitious indicator in the JOAT suite. Detects Fair Value Gaps and Order Blocks the way a serious SMC engine should — and then, before they are touched, treats each one as a superposition zone with two simultaneous probabilities: P_S (the probability it will act as Support when revisited) and P_R (the probability it will act as Resistance). The two probabilities sum to one. The zone exists in a superposition of both states until price actually touches it; at that moment the wavefunction collapses to a single classical state — S or R — driven by the bars-after-touch confirmation logic. Then the script tags the zone with the committed direction and archives the collapse.
Detection — FVGs and OBs done properly
Two independent zone types feed the superposition engine:
Fair Value Gaps — the standard 3-candle imbalance definition, ATR-filtered (minimum gap = configurable × ATR, default 0.30×) so only meaningful gaps qualify. Bull and bear FVGs both detected.
Order Blocks — three methods exposed:
Last Opposite — latest opposite-color candle before displacement.
Extreme Opposite — most extreme (lowest low / highest high) candle in the walk-back window.
Strict Volume — Last Opposite filtered by volume above MA.
Displacement (the move that creates the zone) requires a body of displacement ATR multiple × ATR (default 1.20×). A configurable walk-back window controls how far back to search for the OB origin. Configurable mitigation rule (Wick = any pierce, Close = bar must close beyond).
The headline math — three-factor superposition probability
The collapse probabilities P_S / P_R are computed as a weighted blend of three orthogonal factors:
Distance factor — distance from current price to the zone, decayed exponentially with a configurable half-life in ATR units (default 2.0 ATR). Closer zones have higher commit probability.
Direction factor — which side of the zone current price is on. Above the zone leans the read toward Support collapse; below leans toward Resistance.
Flow factor — EMA-slope alignment over a configurable flow window (default 20 bars). Bullish flow biases toward Support; bearish flow biases toward Resistance.
Each factor's weight is independently tunable. Defaults (0.45 distance / 0.30 direction / 0.25 flow) are the script's institutional calibration. The output is two probabilities that sum to 1.
A zone with P_S ≈ P_R ≈ 0.5 is in pure superposition — the model is genuinely undecided. A zone with P_S = 0.85 / P_R = 0.15 is in a state nearly committed to Support; the wavefunction has already partly collapsed.
Wavefunction collapse — the engine's headline event
When price enters the zone within a configurable touch tolerance (default 0.05 × ATR slack) and holds inside for the configurable holdBars window (default 3 bars), the zone collapses to a single classical state:
Collapse to S — price bounced; the zone acted as Support. Marker prints "(+)→S" at the centroid.
Collapse to R — price was rejected from the other side; the zone acted as Resistance. Marker prints "(+)→R".
A configurable connector line is drawn at the committed level. Collapsed zones are optionally archived (default ON) so the chart shows the full history of how superpositions resolved.
Visual system — superposition rendering
Vertical gradient fill — each zone is rendered as a stack of N sub-boxes (configurable, default 8 slices) with progressive transparency, creating a vertical gradient that visually communicates "high probability of support at the bottom of the zone, high probability of resistance at the top". This is the script's signature visual.
Glow border — configurable glow intensity; becomes thicker when uncertainty is high (P_S ≈ P_R).
Animated superposition pulse — for zones in pure superposition (P ≈ 0.5), transparency oscillates with bar_index to indicate undecided state. Configurable period and amplitude.
Probability labels — P_S / P_R values printed on each active zone.
Zone type tags — FVG_BU, FVG_BE, OB_BU, OB_BE so origin is unambiguous.
Collapse markers — fancy glyphs (+)→S / (+)→R or plain S / R, configurable.
Show-only-superposition mode — hide collapsed and archived zones for a minimalist view.
Right extension — zones project a configurable number of bars to the right.
A locked institutional palette (cyan-teal bull / magenta bear) gives the chart a distinctive quantum-finance identity.

How to read it
Three reads, in order of conviction:
Collapse alert with extreme one-sided probability — e.g. a zone with P_S = 0.85 collapses to S. The model was confidently pointing at one outcome, and the market confirmed it. The highest-conviction confluence read the script produces.
Approaching a zone with sharp probability bias — when P_S or P_R is dominant before touch, the model is committed to one direction. Position toward the dominant side; if the collapse confirms, you are in early.
High-uncertainty zone (P ≈ 0.5) — stand-aside signal. The model is genuinely undecided; trade only with strong external confluence (HTF structure, news flow) or skip the zone entirely.
Suggested settings
Defaults (FVG ATR 0.30×, displacement 1.20×, OB Last-Opposite, 15-bar walk-back, weights 0.45 / 0.30 / 0.25, half-life 2.0 ATR, 3-bar hold) are tuned for 15m–4H on liquid markets. For lower timeframes drop displacement to 1.0× and hold to 2. For HTF raise FVG ATR to 0.50× to keep only large gaps. The weights are calibrated together — change one and the others rebalance the probabilities; experimenting with the weights is a legitimate way to specialise the script to your instrument.
Originality
The implementation — the dual-source zone detector (FVG + OB) with three OB methods, the three-factor probability blend (distance / direction / flow) with independent weights, the exponential ATR-halflife distance decay, the touch-with-hold collapse-confirmation state machine, the vertical-gradient zone render using N stacked sub-boxes, the uncertainty-modulated glow border, the animated superposition pulse for high-uncertainty zones, the archive-on-collapse logic, and the dashboard's probability-aware layout — is JOAT-original. No third-party code reused. The Schrödinger framing (superposition → collapse) is the original conceptual contribution; the math is purpose-built.
Limitations
The "probability" output is a heuristic blend of three factors that historically correlate with which side a zone acts as — it is a ranked confidence, not a true Bayesian posterior. The factor weights are exposed precisely because no single weighting is universally correct. The collapse confirmation requires the holdBars window to elapse, so collapse markers lag the actual touch by that window (intentional — single-bar pierces should not commit a zone). The animated pulse for high-uncertainty zones is purely visual.

Multitimeframe Order Block Finder (Zeiierman)█ Overview
The Multitimeframe Order Block Finder (Zeiierman) is a powerful tool designed to identify potential institutional zones of interest — Order Blocks — across any timeframe, regardless of what chart you're viewing.
Order Blocks are critical supply and demand zones formed by the last opposing candle before an impulsive move. These areas often act as magnets for price and serve as smart-money footprints — ideal for anticipating reversals, retests, or breakouts.
This indicator not only detects such zones in real-time, but also visualizes their mitigation, bull/bear volume pressure, and a smoothed directional trendline based on Order Block behavior.
█ How It Works
The script fetches OHLCV data from your chosen timeframe using request.security() and processes it using strict pattern logic and volume-derived strength conditions. It detects Order Blocks only when the structure aligns with dominant pressure and visually extends valid zones forward for as long as they remain unmitigated.
⚪ Bull/Bear Volume Power Visualization
Each OB includes proportional bars representing estimated buy/sell effort:
Buy Power: % of volume attributed to buyers
Sell Power: % of volume attributed to sellers
This adds a visual, intuitive layer of intent — showing who controlled the price before the OB formed.
⚪ Order Block Trendline (Butterworth Filtered)
A smoothed trendline is derived from the average OB value over time using a two-pole Butterworth low-pass filter. This helps you understand the broader directional pressure:
Trendline up → favor bullish OBs
Trendline down → favor bearish OBs
█ How to Use
⚪ Trade From Order Blocks Like Institutions
Use this tool to find institutional footprints and reaction zones:
Enter at unmitigated OBs
⚪ Volume Power
Volume Pressure Bars inside each OB help you:
Confirm strong buyer/seller dominance
Detect possible traps or exhaustion
Understand how each zone formed
⚪ Find Trend & Pullbacks
The trendline not only helps traders detect the current trend direction, but the built-in trend coloring also highlights potential pullback areas within these trends.
█ Settings
Timeframe – Selects which timeframe to scan for Order Blocks.
Lookback Period – Defines how many bars back are used to detect bullish or bearish momentum shifts.
Sensitivity – When enabled, the indicator uses smoothed price (RMA) with rising/falling logic instead of raw candle closes. This allows more flexible detection of trend shifts and results in more Order Blocks being identified.
Minimum Percent Move – Filters out weak moves. Higher = only strong price shifts.
Mitigated on Mid – OB is removed when price touches its midpoint.
Show OB Table – Displays a panel listing all active (unmitigated) Order Blocks.
Extend Boxes – Controls how far OB boxes stretch into the future.
Show OB Trend – Toggles the trendline derived from Order Block strength.
Passband Ripple (dB) – Controls trendline reactivity. Higher = more sensitive.
Cutoff Frequency – Controls smoothness of trendline (0–0.5). Lower = smoother.
