Premium & Discount Matrix1. Dynamic Intraday Dealing Range
The core of the PD Matrix is the "dealing range." The script calculates this by finding the absolute highest high and lowest low of the current daily session:
It automatically detects when a new day begins.
As the day progresses and price creates new highs or lows, the script dynamically updates the top and bottom boundaries in real-time.
2. Matrix Box & Equilibrium
Once the dealing range is established, it draws the matrix components:
The Box: It draws a single, fully transparent rectangle around the entire daily range. The background is completely clear so it doesn't obstruct your candlesticks, and only the outer border is visible.
Equilibrium (50%): It automatically calculates the exact mathematical midpoint of the daily high and low. It then draws a dashed line straight through the middle of the box to represent the 50% Equilibrium level.
3. Smart Market Labeling
To make the zones instantly readable, the script places three floating text labels neatly to the right of your current live candle. These labels move with the price action:
Premium (Red): Positioned in the upper half (above 50%). According to ICT concepts, this is expensive pricing where institutional algorithms seek to distribute (sell short).
Eq (50%) (Gray): Points directly to the dashed equilibrium line, representing fair value.
Discount (Green): Positioned in the lower half (below 50%). This is cheap pricing where institutional algorithms seek to accumulate (buy long).
4. Customization & Performance
Like the previous script, this is highly optimized for PulseWire. It uses a single dynamic box, a single line, and three labels that constantly update on the very last bar, preventing your chart from being cluttered with hundreds of historical drawings.
You can fully customize the colors of the box border, the equilibrium line, and all three text labels directly from the indicator settings! Indicator
ICT PD Arrays [LunqFX] FVG, Displacement & Smart Money ZonesICT PD Arrays is a complete Smart Money Concepts toolkit built on the Inner
Circle Trader (ICT) methodology. It maps the full Price Delivery Array —
7 interconnected modules working together to identify where institutions
accumulate and distribute positions across any liquid market.
█ WHAT IT DOES
Most ICT indicators cover one concept in isolation — a Fair Value Gap, or
just Premium/Discount zones. This script combines all core PD Array
components into one cohesive system and ties them together with an ISD
state machine and a live HUD dashboard that shows full market context
at a glance.
Seven modules run simultaneously on every bar:
Fair Value Gaps (FVG) + Inversion FVG + Balanced Price Range (BPR)
Premium / Discount Zones + OTE Fibonacci Zones + Equilibrium Line
Displacement Detection with ATR and Volume confirmation
Inducement (IDM) — false breakout / liquidity trap detection
ISD Sequence state machine (Inducement → Sweep → Displacement)
Killzones — London, New York, Asian, Silver Bullet sessions
Live HUD Dashboard — all signals aggregated in real time
█ HOW IT DOES IT
FAIR VALUE GAPS
A Fair Value Gap is a 3-candle price imbalance where the gap between
candle 1's extreme and candle 3's extreme was never traded. Institutions
use these gaps as re-entry points — price gravitates back to fill them.
Detection uses a confirmed 3-candle structure with a bar offset so
the current live bar never creates a new FVG. No repainting.
An ATR(14)-based minimum size filter removes micro-gaps that carry no
significance. Raise the multiplier to see only strong imbalances.
Mitigation is tracked in real time. Once price crosses the CE midpoint
(Consequent Encroachment — the 50% level of the gap), the box fades.
When price fully passes through a gap it automatically converts to an
Inversion FVG (IFVG) — former support becomes resistance, box recolors.
Balanced Price Range (BPR) detects spatial overlap between the most
recent bullish FVG and bearish FVG. The overlap zone is where both
buyer and seller imbalances exist at the same price — the strongest
equilibrium area on the chart.
PREMIUM / DISCOUNT ZONES + OTE
ICT divides any dealing range into two halves: Premium (above 50%) where
institutions sell, and Discount (below 50%) where institutions buy.
Swing highs and lows are detected via pivot logic with a configurable
lookback. The range between the last confirmed pivot high and pivot low
becomes the active dealing range.
Two OTE zones are drawn using Fibonacci retracement logic:
OTE Buy zone — 21.4% to 38.2% from the low
= 61.8%–78.6% retracement FROM the swing high
= deepest discount, highest-probability long area
OTE Sell zone — 61.8% to 78.6% from the low
= deepest premium, highest-probability short area
Math:
OTE Buy Top = SwingLow + Range x 0.382
OTE Buy Bot = SwingLow + Range x 0.214
OTE Sell Top = SwingLow + Range x 0.786
OTE Sell Bot = SwingLow + Range x 0.618
Zones update automatically when new pivots are confirmed.
DISPLACEMENT
Displacement is not simply a large candle. In ICT theory it marks a
genuine shift of institutional order flow — it must show conviction.
Three conditions must all be satisfied simultaneously:
Body >= ATR(14) x multiplier (default 2.0)
Filters out average volatility, keeps only significant momentum.
Wick-to-range ratio below threshold (default 30%)
A large wick relative to range signals indecision, not displacement.
Formula: (High - Close) / Range for bulls,
(Close - Low) / Range for bears.
Optional volume filter: Volume > SMA(20) x 1.5
Confirms institutional participation behind the move.
Disable for spot Forex where tick volume is unreliable.
Displacement candles are the primary FVG trigger — the gap left behind
a displacement candle is the highest-quality FVG to trade.
INDUCEMENT (IDM)
Inducement is how institutions engineer a false breakout to grab
retail stop-loss liquidity before reversing price the other way.
Detected when price temporarily sweeps beyond a recent swing high or
low and then closes back inside the range. An ATR-based wick filter
ensures only meaningful sweeps qualify — micro-breakouts are excluded.
Bear Trap: price sweeps below a recent low and closes above it.
Bull Trap: price sweeps above a recent high and closes below it.
A 25-bar cooldown prevents label flooding in trending conditions.
The signal still feeds the ISD state machine on every bar regardless.
ISD SEQUENCE STATE MACHINE
ISD stands for Inducement, Sweep, Displacement. This is the complete
3-step institutional setup that ICT traders look for before entering.
The module runs as a persistent state machine tracking progress
across bars in real time:
Score 1/3 — IDM confirmed. Liquidity has been grabbed.
Score 2/3 — A structural sweep of a 5-bar high or low confirmed.
Score 3/3 — A Displacement candle fires in the same direction.
Label appears on chart. State resets automatically.
A 50-bar timeout resets the sequence if no follow-through occurs,
preventing stale signals from contaminating new setups.
ISD 3/3 is the single highest-confidence signal in this indicator.
All three institutional steps have completed in the correct order.
Dashboard shows live progress: Score 0 to 3 with block indicators.
KILLZONES
ICT defines specific time windows where institutional order flow
is at its highest. The script highlights four of them:
London Open 02:00 - 05:00 New York time
New York Open 08:30 - 11:00 New York time
Asian Session 20:00 - 00:00 New York time
Silver Bullet 10:00 - 11:00 New York time
The Silver Bullet is a specific 1-hour ICT window occurring inside
the New York session — considered one of the highest-probability
entry windows in the entire ICT model.
Killzones are automatically hidden on timeframes 4H and above.
LIVE HUD DASHBOARD
A real-time panel in the bottom-left corner aggregates all modules:
Zone current price position (PREMIUM / DISCOUNT / EQ)
with gradient background that shifts green to red
EQ Level exact equilibrium price of the current dealing range
Bull FVG count of active non-inverted bullish gaps
Bear FVG count of active non-inverted bearish gaps
BPR whether a Balanced Price Range is currently active
Displace direction of the most recent displacement candle
IDM most recent trap type — Bear Trap / Bull Trap / None
ISD Score live block progress from 0/3 to 3/3
ATR (14) current ATR value
Timeframe active chart timeframe
█ HOW TO USE
Recommended workflow for intraday setups on 1m to 1H timeframes.
Step 1
Check the dashboard Zone. If PREMIUM, look for short setups only.
If DISCOUNT, look for long setups only. Never trade against the zone.
Step 2
Wait for an IDM label. This confirms retail stop-loss liquidity has
been swept in the direction you are looking to trade.
Step 3
Watch the ISD score reach 2/3 — a structural sweep is confirmed in
the same direction as the IDM.
Step 4
When a Displacement candle fires and ISD reaches 3/3, the complete
institutional sequence is confirmed. This is the entry trigger.
Step 5
Enter on a retest of the FVG left by the displacement candle.
For the highest-precision entry, wait for price to reach the OTE
zone within the FVG (61.8%–78.6% retracement level).
Step 6
Use Killzones to time entries. Highest-probability window is the
Silver Bullet (10:00–11:00 NY). London and NY Open are second.
For higher timeframe analysis on 4H and Daily: use Premium/Discount
zones and swing structure only. Ignore Killzones and FVG entries.

█ ALERTS
Bullish FVG Formed
Bearish FVG Formed
Bullish Displacement — check for FVG entry
Bearish Displacement — check for FVG entry
Full ISD Sequence (3/3) — high-probability setup complete
Bullish Inducement (IDM) — Bear Trap detected
Bearish Inducement (IDM) — Bull Trap detected
█ TECHNICAL NOTES
All ta.* function calls — ATR, SMA, pivot highs/lows, highest, lowest —
are executed unconditionally at the top script level in compliance with
the Pine Script v6 execution model. Never inside conditionals or
functions called conditionally.
FVG detection is locked to barstate.isconfirmed with a bar offset.
The current live bar never creates a new FVG box. No repainting.
The ISD state machine uses persistent var variables with inline
assignment in the main execution body. Pine v6 does not allow global
variable reassignment inside functions, so the state machine runs
directly in the main script scope with a 50-bar timeout guard.

PD ArraysHi all!
This indicator is based on my indicator 'Order blocks' () that will show you order blocks (OB) found by the indicator or the once that are in alignment with the current trend.
This indicator will, however, not only show you order blocks but it will also find fair value gaps (FVG). Order blocks and fair value gaps are popular and a big part of inner circle trading (ICT). The true power lies in that the indicator will give you alerts and show you labels for retest ('R'), false breakouts ('FB') and breakouts ('B'). This is possible through my library 'Touched' (). The possibilities of interactions in the form of breakouts allows for the findings of broken order blocks and fair value gaps. That means that this indicator allows the showing of zones that are before the CHoCH/CHoCH+ and has flipped function. So a support becomes resistance and vice versa. These zones are popular and are called breaker blocks (BB, a flipped order block) and inversion fair value gap (IFVG, a flipped fair value gap). If a broken order block is before a BOS (instead of a CHoCH/CHoCH+) it's called a mitigation block (MB) instead of a breaker block, but it has the same function.
So, broken order blocks are called breaker blocks (BB) if they're before a change of character (CHoCH/CHoCH+) and mitigation blocks (MB) if they're before a break of structure (BOS).
Broken fair value gaps are called inversion fair value gaps (IFVG). The following zones will be displayed by the indicator:
• Fair value gaps
• Inversion fair value gaps
• Order blocks
• Breaker blocks
• Mitigation blocks
The trend is based on price action that creates change of characters (CHoCH/CHoCH+) and break of structures (BOS). This is based on pivots/swings with your set length for left and right and is possible through my script 'PriceAction' (). The market structure will be displayed with solid lines and a label showing the type (CHoCH/CHoCH+/BOS).
2 things can invalidate a zone and cause it to disappear;
• broken by price or
• a CHoCH/CHoCH+ appears to start a new trend.
I.e. a bullish zone (OB/FVG/BB/MB/IFVG) will disappear upon the closing price being lower than the zone's low or a bearish CHoCH/CHoCH+ happens. A bullish BB/MB/IFVG means a bearish OB/FVG that has been broken by price and is now bullish.
I've tried to make the ability to find zones to be on a different timeframe than chart (like in my script 'Order blocks') but I have not found it to be reliable yet, so the zones are found on the chart's timeframe. I will keep working on making it more reliable, but for now it's only possible to find them on the chart's timeframe.
The default settings will show you all zones (OB/FVG) and their broken version (BB/MB/IFVG). If the trend is bullish it will show bullish OBs and bullish FVGs and bearish OBs/FVGs that are broken and now are bullish (BB/MB/IFVG), and vice versa. OBs and FVGs will be displayed as soon as they are found, IFVGs when it's broken by price and BBs/MBs upon the next structural break (CHoCH/CHoCH+/BOS). All zones within a CHoCH/CHoCH+ (from the high/low pivot that's broken to when it's broken by price) will be kept to be take action on by the script's code. They're hidden until they make sense regarding to the new trend that's determined by the 'PriceAction' library.
Settings
• Keep history
Check this if you want old zones to be kept (from previous trends). They are removed if they are broken or a CHoCH/CHoCH+ appears.
PD ARRAYS
• Fair value gaps
Show fair value gaps or not.
• Inversion fair value gaps
Show inversion fair value gaps or not.
• Order blocks
Show order blocks or not.
• Breaker blocks
Show breaker blocks or not.
• Mitigation blocks
Show mitigation blocks or not.
FAIR VALUE GAPS
• Consecutive rising/falling
The candles in the reaction must consecutivly rise or fall (the 'hl2' must be rising/falling).
• Force strong
If this is enabled it will force the FVG middle candle to have a higher/lower 'hl2' (middle of the entire candle) than the first candle's high.
• Hide consecutive zones
If multiple fair value gaps are found after each other only the first one will be found by the indicator.
• Minimum size
A factor of the Average True Range (of length 14) that the size of the fair value gap must have.
ORDER BLOCKS
• Reaction
A factor of the Average True Range (of length 14) that the total reaction must have. A higher value will create fewer zones with a bigger reaction. And check the checkbox if you want the limit to be displayed.
• Take out
The bar that start the reaction must take out the previous bar high/low (liquidity sweep).
• Consecutive rising/falling
The candles in the reaction must consecutivly rise or fall.
• Fair value gap
The middle bar in the order block must create a fair value gap.
• Hide consecutive zones
If multiple order blocks are found after each other only the first one will be found by the indicator.
DISPLAY
• Bull
The color for bullish zones (OB or FVG). This is the color before a breakout from the price, if it's broken by price once its a bearish zone instead.
• Bear
The color for bearish zones (OB or FVG). This is the color before a breakout from the price, if it's broken by price once its a bullish zone instead.
MARKET STRUCTURE
• Enable
If zones found should follow market structure or not. This is automatically enabled if 'Current trend' is true.
• Pivot
Set the length of pivots and check if they should be shown or not.
• Font size
Set the font size of market structure text.
ALERT
• Retests
Enable alerts for retest.
• False breakouts
Enable alerts for false breakouts.
• Breakouts
Enable alerts for breakouts.
Examples
Below will be some examples of how the indicator behaves. All the examples are with the default settings but only the example zone is visible.
• This demonstrates a retest of an inversion fair value gap after a CHoCH+. After price goes higher (after that support) price retests later IFVGs and goes even higher.
• Shows the lowest bullish fair value gap that's retested two times and goes higher. On the journey of higher prices more FVGs are retested/has false breakouts and price goes higher.
• Shows a bearish order block (at the top) that's retested and price goes lower.
• Shows a bearish breaker block that has two retests and a false breakout. The origin is a bullish order block that's now (after price has broken it) a bearish breaker block. After that resistance price goes lower.
• Shows a retest of a bullish mitigation block (that's a broken bearish order block).
The code for finding these PD Arrays are extracted to my library 'PDArrays' ().
I hope that this indicator will help you in your trading and I've been trying to make an indicator like this for a very long time. Many new tries, a lot of time spent and lots of lines of code I managed to make one that I think is good enough!
If you have any findings of unexpected behavior or feature of, feel free to reach out!

PowerGaps - Multi-Timeframe Fair Value GapsPowerGaps — Multi‑Timeframe Fair Value Gap Engine
PowerGaps is a precision‑built, multi‑timeframe Fair Value Gap (FVG) engine designed for traders who rely on clean, reliable market structure signals without noise, repainting, or clutter.
It automatically detects and plots institutional FVGs from higher timeframes directly onto your current chart, giving you a clear view of premium/discount imbalances and liquidity inefficiencies that matter most.
What PowerGaps Does
• Scans four customizable timeframes (e.g., M5, M15, H1, H4) for valid bullish and bearish FVGs
• Projects those HTF gaps onto any lower timeframe chart
• Colors and labels each gap by timeframe for instant visual recognition
• Tracks each gap until it is mitigated by wick touch, then automatically closes and removes it
• Ensures no repainting, no duplicates, and no phantom gaps
• Maintains perfect alignment across timeframes using a robust, cross‑TF‑safe architecture
Why It’s Different
PowerGaps is engineered with a strict validation and mitigation system that prevents the common issues seen in many FVG indicators:
• No repeated stacking of the same gap
• No gaps disappearing when switching timeframes
• No false mitigation signals
• No stale or corrupted objects left behind
Every plotted gap is intentional, accurate, and actionable.
Ideal For
• ICT‑style traders
• Liquidity and imbalance‑based strategies
• HTF bias mapping
• Scalpers who rely on HTF inefficiencies
• Swing traders looking for clean continuation or reversal zones
Inputs & Customization
• Enable/disable each timeframe independently
• Choose custom colors for bullish and bearish gaps
• Full control over which timeframes you want projected onto your chart Indicator

MMXM ICT [TradingFinder] Market Maker Model PO3 CHoCH/CSID + FVG🔵 Introduction
The MMXM Smart Money Reversal leverages key metrics such as SMT Divergence, Liquidity Sweep, HTF PD Array, Market Structure Shift (MSS) or (ChoCh), CISD, and Fair Value Gap (FVG) to identify critical turning points in the market. Designed for traders aiming to analyze the behavior of major market participants, this setup pinpoints strategic areas for making informed trading decisions.
The document introduces the MMXM model, a trading strategy that identifies market maker activity to predict price movements. The model operates across five distinct stages: original consolidation, price run, smart money reversal, accumulation/distribution, and completion. This systematic approach allows traders to differentiate between buyside and sellside curves, offering a structured framework for interpreting price action.
Market makers play a pivotal role in facilitating these movements by bridging liquidity gaps. They continuously quote bid (buy) and ask (sell) prices for assets, ensuring smooth trading conditions.
By maintaining liquidity, market makers prevent scenarios where buyers are left without sellers and vice versa, making their activity a cornerstone of the MMXM strategy.
SMT Divergence serves as the first signal of a potential trend reversal, arising from discrepancies between the movements of related assets or indices. This divergence is detected when two or more highly correlated assets or indices move in opposite directions, signaling a likely shift in market trends.
Liquidity Sweep occurs when the market targets liquidity in specific zones through false price movements. This process allows major market participants to execute their orders efficiently by collecting the necessary liquidity to enter or exit positions.
The HTF PD Array refers to premium and discount zones on higher timeframes. These zones highlight price levels where the market is in a premium (ideal for selling) or discount (ideal for buying). These areas are identified based on higher timeframe market behavior and guide traders toward lucrative opportunities.
Market Structure Shift (MSS), also referred to as ChoCh, indicates a change in market structure, often marked by breaking key support or resistance levels. This shift confirms the directional movement of the market, signaling the start of a new trend.
CISD (Change in State of Delivery) reflects a transition in price delivery mechanisms. Typically occurring after MSS, CISD confirms the continuation of price movement in the new direction.
Fair Value Gap (FVG) represents zones where price imbalance exists between buyers and sellers. These gaps often act as price targets for filling, offering traders opportunities for entry or exit.
By combining all these metrics, the Smart Money Reversal provides a comprehensive tool for analyzing market behavior and identifying key trading opportunities. It enables traders to anticipate the actions of major players and align their strategies accordingly.
MMBM :
MMSM :
🔵 How to Use
The Smart Money Reversal operates in two primary states: MMBM (Market Maker Buy Model) and MMSM (Market Maker Sell Model). Each state highlights critical structural changes in market trends, focusing on liquidity behavior and price reactions at key levels to offer precise and effective trading opportunities.
The MMXM model expands on this by identifying five distinct stages of market behavior: original consolidation, price run, smart money reversal, accumulation/distribution, and completion. These stages provide traders with a detailed roadmap for interpreting price action and anticipating market maker activity.
🟣 Market Maker Buy Model
In the MMBM state, the market transitions from a bearish trend to a bullish trend. Initially, SMT Divergence between related assets or indices reveals weaknesses in the bearish trend. Subsequently, a Liquidity Sweep collects liquidity from lower levels through false breakouts.
After this, the price reacts to discount zones identified in the HTF PD Array, where major market participants often execute buy orders. The market confirms the bullish trend with a Market Structure Shift (MSS) and a change in price delivery state (CISD). During this phase, an FVG emerges as a key trading opportunity. Traders can open long positions upon a pullback to this FVG zone, capitalizing on the bullish continuation.
🟣 Market Maker Sell Model
In the MMSM state, the market shifts from a bullish trend to a bearish trend. Here, SMT Divergence highlights weaknesses in the bullish trend. A Liquidity Sweep then gathers liquidity from higher levels.
The price reacts to premium zones identified in the HTF PD Array, where major sellers enter the market and reverse the price direction. A Market Structure Shift (MSS) and a change in delivery state (CISD) confirm the bearish trend. The FVG then acts as a target for the price. Traders can initiate short positions upon a pullback to this FVG zone, profiting from the bearish continuation.
Market makers actively bridge liquidity gaps throughout these stages, quoting continuous bid and ask prices for assets. This ensures that trades are executed seamlessly, even during periods of low market participation, and supports the structured progression of the MMXM model.
The price’s reaction to FVG zones in both states provides traders with opportunities to reduce risk and enhance precision. These pullbacks to FVG zones not only represent optimal entry points but also create avenues for maximizing returns with minimal risk.
