Liquidity Heatmap - Fran PinedaLiquidity Heatmap — Fran Pineda is a multi-timeframe liquidity visualization indicator designed to help traders identify potential buy-side and sell-side liquidity areas on the chart.
The indicator scans several intraday and higher timeframes to detect confirmed pivot highs and pivot lows. These pivots are then displayed as visual liquidity marks:
Green marks highlight potential sell-side liquidity areas, usually found around previous swing lows where long-position stops may be resting.
Red marks highlight potential buy-side liquidity areas, usually found around previous swing highs where short-position stops may be resting.
The purpose of this tool is not to predict price direction, but to provide a cleaner visual map of where liquidity may be located before price reacts, sweeps, or expands.
Main features:
- Multi-timeframe liquidity mapping.
- Intraday and higher timeframe pivot detection.
- Visual red and green liquidity marks.
- Optional filtering of lower timeframe levels.
- Adjustable pivot sensitivity.
- Alerts for green liquidity marks.
- Alerts for red liquidity marks.
- Combined alert for any liquidity mark.
- Clean overlay directly on the price chart.
Because the indicator is based on confirmed pivots, marks appear only after the required confirmation bars. This helps reduce noise, but it also means the marks are not generated instantly on the current candle.
This is not a buy or sell signal system. It is a market context tool for traders who work with liquidity, swing points, stop zones, and multi-timeframe structure.
Use it as a liquidity map, not as a crystal ball. The market still has the final word. Indicator

🇬🇧 ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
AS Indicator – Elephant Bars + SMA Trend + FVG + Sessions + MTF EMA
This is a multi-functional price action and trend indicator that combines volatility detection, trend filtering, liquidity gaps, session analysis, and multi-timeframe levels into one comprehensive tool.
🔹 1. Elephant Bars (Volatility & Momentum)
The indicator detects so-called Elephant Bars — strong impulsive candles defined by:
Range greater than ATR × multiplier
Body size exceeding a minimum percentage of the candle range
These bars signal institutional activity or strong momentum:
🟢 Bullish Elephant → strong buying pressure
🔴 Bearish Elephant → strong selling pressure
Optional labels (🐘) mark these candles directly on the chart.
🔹 2. SMA Trend System
Three Simple Moving Averages are used:
SMA 9 → short-term momentum (also colors candles)
SMA 20 → dynamic trend direction (colored green/red)
SMA 200 → macro trend filter
Trend logic:
Uptrend → SMA20 above SMA200
Downtrend → SMA20 below SMA200
No trend → price too close to SMA200 (range filter)
SMA200 changes color dynamically:
Green → bullish trend
Red → bearish trend
Gray → ranging market
🔹 3. Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
The script identifies inefficiencies in price delivery:
Bullish FVG → current low > high from 2 bars ago
Bearish FVG → current high < low from 2 bars ago
Zones are drawn as colored boxes and extended forward to highlight potential areas of:
liquidity
price rebalancing
institutional interest
🔹 4. Unified Alert System
A single alert triggers when ANY of the following occurs:
Elephant Bar detected
Bullish FVG appears
Bearish FVG appears
This allows efficient monitoring without multiple alert setups.
🔹 5. Market Sessions (Polish Time)
All sessions are calculated in Europe/Warsaw timezone:
Asia
Europe (London proxy)
US
New York
Daily Session (custom Poland session)
For each session:
The Opening Range (first X minutes) is calculated
High/Low is tracked
A dynamic box is drawn and extended in real time
This helps identify:
session liquidity zones
breakout levels
intraday structure
🔹 6. 15-Minute Range Levels (Live & Non-Repainting)
Two independent range systems:
Short lookback (live dynamic range)
Long lookback (strong key levels)
Levels are calculated from 15m data and plotted as horizontal lines:
Resistance (high range)
Support (low range)
🔹 7. Multi-Timeframe EMA (MTF)
Two EMAs from higher timeframes:
EMA 1 (faster HTF)
EMA 2 (slower HTF)
Signals:
EMA crossover up → bullish signal
EMA crossover down → bearish signal
Fully non-repainting (using lookahead_off logic).
🔹 8. Visual Features
Candle coloring based on SMA9
Elephant bars override color for clarity
Clean FVG zones (no borders)
Dynamic session boxes
Strong key levels from HTF data

IrishGOD (ORB)Opening Range Breakout (ORB) Indicator — Professional Description
Pine Script v5 Overlay Indicator Intraday
Opening Range Breakout (ORB)
A precision intraday indicator that defines the high and low of a configurable opening range window, locks those levels once the window expires, and flags the first directional breakout of the day with a clear visual signal directly on the chart.
Overview
The Opening Range Breakout strategy is one of the most widely used frameworks in active intraday and momentum trading. The theory holds that the high and low established during the first N minutes of a session represent a market structure boundary — a zone of price discovery where institutional and retail participants alike are establishing positions. A decisive break above or below this range often signals the direction of the day's dominant trend.
This indicator automates the entire process: it watches price during the formation window, locks the range the instant the window closes, draws clean reference lines, and marks the first breakout in each direction with a non-cluttering arrow label — without requiring any manual input from the trader after initial setup.
Core logic
Phase 1 — Range formation
From the configured session open time, the indicator tracks the rolling high and low of every bar within the ORB window. No lines are drawn yet; the range is still live and expanding with each new bar.
Phase 2 — Range lock
On the first bar after the ORB window closes, the high and low are frozen. Two horizontal lines are drawn from that exact bar extending forward for the remainder of the session. The range will not change again for the rest of the day.
Phase 3 — Bullish breakout signal
If price closes above the ORB High after the window has locked, a green upward arrow is plotted below the breakout candle. This signal fires only once per day — the first confirmed close above the range.
Phase 4 — Bearish breakout signal
If price closes below the ORB Low after the window has locked, a red downward arrow is plotted above the breakout candle. Like the bullish signal, this fires once per day on first confirmed close below the range.
Configuration parameters
Parameter Default Description
Session Start Hour 9 Hour of day (24-hour format) when the session opens and ORB formation begins. Adjust for futures, forex, or international markets.
Session Start Minute 30 Minute offset within the start hour. Combined with the hour input, defines the exact session open (default: 9:30 for US equities).
ORB Duration 30 min How many minutes the range formation window remains open. Common settings are 5, 15, 30, and 60 minutes. Accepts 1–240 minutes.
Range High Line Color Teal Color of the horizontal ORB High reference line. Fully customizable via the PulseWire color picker.
Range Low Line Color Orange Color of the horizontal ORB Low reference line. Distinct from the high to allow instant visual separation at a glance.
Line Width 1 Thickness of the range lines in pixels. Range of 1–4. Useful for scaling visibility on higher-resolution monitors.
Arrow Size small Controls the rendered size of breakout arrow labels. Options: tiny, small, normal, large. Sized to avoid obscuring surrounding price action.
Extend Lines true When enabled, range lines extend 500 bars to the right — effectively to the right edge of the visible chart. Disable to limit lines to ~390 bars (standard session length).
Enable Alerts false When enabled, fires a PulseWire alert on the first bullish or bearish breakout of each session. Compatible with webhooks, email, and push notifications.
Visual features
Formation Window
Yellow background tint
A subtle highlight shades the candles within the ORB formation window so you can immediately see which bars contributed to the range definition.
Reference Lines
Clean horizontal levels
Single solid lines mark the ORB High and Low from the moment the window closes, extending forward without visual clutter. Previous day's lines are removed automatically.
Breakout Arrows
Directional label markers
Arrow labels are offset from price using ATR(14) so they never overlap the candle body or wick. Transparent backgrounds keep the chart unobstructed.
Data Window
ORB level readout
Once the range is locked, the exact ORB High and Low values appear in PulseWire's Data Window panel for precise reference at any bar.
Compatibility
The indicator is designed for intraday timeframes — it is most effective on charts from 1-minute through 30-minute bars. It will not produce signals on daily or higher timeframes, as the ORB window logic depends on intraday time-of-day calculations.
The session start time defaults to 9:30 AM ET for US equity and ETF markets. For futures markets (ES, NQ, CL), crypto, or forex, adjust the start hour and minute to match the relevant session open.

Auto Structure Lines Auto Structure Lines
Auto Structure Lines automatically detects recent swing highs and swing lows, then plots clean support and resistance levels on the chart. It is designed to help traders quickly identify nearby structure, breakout areas, rejection zones, and possible pullback levels without manually drawing every line.
The indicator uses confirmed pivot highs and lows to create resistance and support lines. Nearby levels are merged using an ATR-based tolerance so the chart stays cleaner and avoids stacking multiple lines around the same price area.
Key features:
Automatically detects pivot-based support and resistance
Extends structure lines to the right side of the chart
Stores multiple historical levels while showing only the most recent visible levels
ATR-based level merging to reduce clutter
Optional price labels for each visible level
Customizable pivot length, line style, colors, width, and label offset
Separate toggles for support and resistance
This tool is useful for identifying important price areas, planning breakout entries, watching retests, and managing risk around nearby support or resistance.
Auto Structure Lines is a visual decision-support tool. It does not generate buy or sell signals by itself and should be used with price action, volume, trend context, and your own risk management. Indicator

Ranked FVG Imbalance Zones (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Ranked FVG Imbalance Zones (Zeiierman) is a next-generation Fair Value Gap tool that transforms how imbalances are evaluated by ranking them in real time using structured data and Pine Script’s latest UDT collection sorting capabilities.
Instead of plotting every detected gap equally, the script stores each FVG as a structured object, evaluates its quality using multiple factors, and dynamically ranks all active zones. The result is a cleaner, more actionable view of only the highest-priority imbalances.
This approach reduces noise and shifts focus toward the zones that matter most under current market conditions.
█ How It Works
⚪ Structured FVG Objects (UDT Engine)
Each detected FVG is stored as a user-defined type (UDT), containing:
Price range (top and bottom)
Direction (bullish or bearish)
Size and age
Mitigation state
Volume and trend alignment
Bullish and bearish strength components
Final quality score
This allows every imbalance to behave like a data object rather than a simple drawn box.
⚪ Multi-Factor Quality Scoring
Each FVG is assigned a dynamic quality score based on:
Gap size relative to volatility
Volume expansion vs average
Trend alignment (EMA-based)
Candle strength and displacement
Mitigation progress and age decay
This converts raw imbalances into comparable signals with measurable strength.
⚪ UDT Collection Sorting (New Pine Feature)
All FVG objects are stored inside an array and sorted using:
fvgs.sort(order.descending, sort_field = "qualityScore")
This uses PulseWire’s new ability to sort collections of user-defined types directly by a field. Instead of manually filtering or iterating through values, the script ranks all zones instantly and efficiently using native sorting.
⚪ Ranked Output (Signal Prioritization)
After sorting, only the highest-ranked FVGs are displayed.
Lower-quality zones remain stored internally but are hidden from view. This creates a priority-based map of imbalances, where the chart highlights only the most relevant opportunities.
⚪ Strength Distribution (Internal Pressure View)
Each FVG is split into bullish and bearish strength components.
These are displayed as internal bars within the zone, showing:
Who controlled the move
Whether the imbalance is stable or weak
If opposing pressure exists inside the gap
█ Why This Approach Is Different
⚪ Ranking vs Filtering
Traditional FVG tools rely on fixed rules (size thresholds, simple conditions).
This tool instead ranks all zones relative to each other, adapting dynamically to market conditions.
⚪ Native Sorting Advantage
Using Pine’s new UDT sorting:
Eliminates complex manual ranking logic
Improves performance and scalability
Allows real-time reordering as conditions change
Enables true “top N” selection of signals
This was not efficiently possible before UDT collection sorting.
⚪ Noise Reduction
By showing only the top-ranked zones:
Chart clutter is reduced
Focus shifts to high-quality setups
Decision-making becomes clearer
█ How to Use
⚪ Focus on Top Zones
Only the highest-ranked FVGs are shown. These represent the strongest imbalances based on current conditions.
⚪ Read Strength Internals
Higher directional strength → stronger continuation potential
Mixed strength → weaker or more reactive zone
Opposing strength dominance → higher chance of failure or fill
█ Settings
Show Top Zones: Controls how many of the highest-ranked FVGs are displayed.
Max Stored FVGs: Controls how many zones are tracked internally.
Volume Length: Defines the baseline for volume comparison.
Trend Length: Defines the EMA used for trend alignment scoring.

Reaction Follow-Through Planner [AGPro Series]Reaction Follow-Through Planner
🧠 Core Idea
Did the first reaction actually create follow-through, or did price only bounce and fade?
📌 Overview / What it does
Reaction Follow-Through Planner is a decision-oriented overlay that evaluates what happens after price produces an initial reaction around a confirmed swing reference.
Instead of only marking the reaction itself, the script opens a structured follow-through window, measures progress, tracks defense of the reaction zone, defines invalidation, estimates target room, and converts the context into a 0-100 planner score.
It produces reaction zones, follow-through tracks, continuation markers, failed-reaction labels, risk/target guide lines, and a compact AGPro panel. It does not predict future price, place trades, automate execution, or claim that any reaction must continue.
🎯 Purpose & Design Philosophy
This script was built for traders who already understand that a reaction candle is not enough.
Many charts show a wick, bounce, rejection, hold, or local response, but the real question comes after that first response: did the market follow through with clean progress, participation, and defended invalidation?
The design philosophy is simple: treat reaction analysis as a planning workflow. The script helps organize the reaction into strength, follow-through, invalidation, room, and next action.
⚡ Why This Script Is Different
Most reaction tools focus on finding the reaction candle, drawing the level, or scoring the first response.
This script does NOT clone a rejection-block detector, a support/resistance reaction map, or a generic pivot reaction score.
Instead, it starts after the first reaction appears. It tracks whether that reaction can defend its zone, produce directional progress, maintain follow-through, and offer enough room before the context becomes stale or failed.
⚙️ Methodology
1. Context Detection
The engine tracks confirmed swing reaction references and waits for price to interact with them.
2. Reference Mapping
When the first response is accepted, the script builds a reaction zone from the first response candle and defines an invalidation edge beyond the defended area.
3. Reaction Evaluation
The script grades the initial reaction candle using close defense, wick defense, body participation, and direction agreement.
4. Follow-Through Tracking
During the tracking window, the model measures best directional progress, next-bar response, volume support, adverse excursion, time decay, and whether the invalidation edge remains defended.
5. Visual Output
The chart displays reaction zones, follow-through tracks, target room, invalidation guides, continuation markers, failed-reaction labels, and a clean AGPro planner panel.
🗺️ How to Read the Chart
Zones = the defended first-reaction area that should remain intact for the follow-through case to stay valid.
Follow-through track = the movement path from the reaction close toward the current follow-through position.
Invalidation guide = the price edge where the reaction context is considered failed by the script logic.
Target room guide = the nearby structure or ATR-based room estimate used to judge whether the reaction still has space.
Labels = optional reaction start markers, follow-through continuation, or failed-reaction context. Start labels and failed-reaction X markers are disabled by default, while failed-reaction labels use a separate low cap for a cleaner publication view.
Colors = teal for bullish reaction continuation, pink for bearish reaction continuation, gold for weak or stalled contexts, and indigo for higher-quality follow-through.
Panel = the current reaction strength, follow-through state, invalidation level, room estimate, and next action.
🚦 Signals & States
• Bull Reaction Watch → a bullish reaction window is active, but follow-through still needs progress.
• Bear Reaction Watch → a bearish reaction window is active, but follow-through still needs progress.
• Bull Follow-Through → bullish follow-through reached the planner threshold.
• Bear Follow-Through → bearish follow-through reached the planner threshold.
• No Follow-Through → the reaction stayed defended but did not generate enough progress inside the tracking window.
• Failed Reaction → price closed beyond the reaction invalidation edge.
🔔 Alerts Logic
Alerts are attention markers, not trade instructions.
New Bull Reaction Window triggers when a bullish first-response window opens.
New Bear Reaction Window triggers when a bearish first-response window opens.
Bull Follow-Through Ready triggers when bullish follow-through reaches the score and progress thresholds.
Bear Follow-Through Ready triggers when bearish follow-through reaches the score and progress thresholds.
Reaction Failed triggers when price closes beyond the active invalidation edge.
🧩 Confluence Logic
The strongest context appears when reaction strength, next-bar progress, volume response, wick defense, and room all align.
When the reaction candle is strong but follow-through is weak, the panel will usually remain in watch or no-follow-through mode.
When follow-through progresses but invalidation is too close or room is limited, interpretation should stay cautious.
📊 When to Use
• After a visible reaction from a swing high or swing low reference.
• During retest, hold, rejection, or continuation planning.
• When you want to separate first-response reactions from reactions that actually continue.
• On symbols and timeframes with enough liquidity for clean candle structure.
⚠️ When NOT to Use
• Extremely low-liquidity markets where reaction candles are unreliable.
• Very noisy micro timeframes with erratic wicks.
• News-driven volatility where invalidation and room can shift quickly.
• Situations where the user expects automatic entries or guaranteed outcomes.
🎛️ Key Inputs
• Swing Reaction Lookback → controls how selective the reaction references are.
• First Response Mode → controls how strict the first reaction filter is.
• Follow-Through Track Bars → controls how long the script evaluates continuation after the reaction.
• Minimum Planner Score → sets the threshold for continuation-ready context.
• Invalidation Buffer → controls how far beyond the reaction zone the invalidation edge sits.
• Fallback Target Room → estimates room when no clean opposite structure is nearby.
• Visual settings → control zones, optional start labels, outcome labels, failed-reaction label cap, optional failed markers, guides, density, and panel layout.
🖥️ Interface & Visual Design
The interface is built around a clean AGPro panel and chart-first visuals.
The panel gives the decision summary. The chart shows the defended reaction zone, follow-through track, invalidation edge, target room, and state labels.
The visual hierarchy is intentionally restrained: enough labels to make the chart alive, but not so many that the reaction workflow becomes noisy.
🧪 Practical Usage Workflow
1. Read the panel to see whether a reaction window is active.
2. Check the reaction zone and invalidation edge.
3. Watch whether the follow-through track expands away from the zone.
4. Compare the score with available target room.
5. Treat alerts as review prompts, not execution commands.
🔍 Interpretation Guidelines
A strong reaction is not automatically a strong follow-through.
A clean follow-through usually needs directional progress, defended invalidation, supportive participation, and enough remaining room.
If the panel says No Follow-Through, the reaction may still be interesting visually, but the script did not detect enough post-reaction continuation quality.
If the panel says Failed Reaction, the original reaction context is no longer valid according to the script rules.
🚫 What This Script Is NOT
• Not a prediction engine.
• Not financial advice.
• Not auto trading.
• Not guaranteed signals.
• Not a replacement for risk management.
• Not a generic support/resistance map.
• Not a rejection-block scanner.
⚠️ Limitations & Transparency
The script is rule-based and depends on confirmed swing references, ATR normalization, volume baselines, and selected sensitivity settings.
Different timeframes can produce different reaction windows.
High volatility can expand invalidation distance and reduce room quality.
Low-liquidity markets can create misleading wick behavior.
🧠 Market Context Notes
Reaction follow-through is strongest when the first response is supported by participation and clean progress away from the defended zone.
It is weaker when price reacts but stalls near the zone, repeatedly revisits invalidation, or lacks target room.
The script is designed to help traders think in terms of reaction quality, not certainty.
🧾 Use Case Examples
When price reacts from a swing low and the next bars defend the reaction zone with rising progress, the planner may shift from Bull Reaction Watch to Bull Follow-Through.
When price rejects a swing high but immediately reclaims the invalidation edge, the planner may mark Failed Reaction.
When price bounces but fails to expand before the tracking window expires, the panel may show No Follow-Through.
🧱 System Philosophy
The AGPro approach favors decision engines over simple signal indicators.
This script follows that philosophy by turning a reaction into a structured review process: strength, follow-through, invalidation, room, and action.
🔐 Non-Promise Statement
No score guarantees continuation.

Adaptive Support and Resistance Zones [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
Adaptive Support and Resistance Zones is a high-performance technical analysis tool designed to identify, manage, and visualize key supply and demand areas. Unlike static pivot indicators that clutter the chart with every minor high and low, this script employs volatility-adjusted logic (ATR) to ensure only the most significant structural levels are maintained.
The indicator treats support and resistance not as thin lines, but as dynamic zones , accounting for market "noise" and providing a clearer picture of where institutional interest actually lies.
🔵 CONCEPT
Volatility-Aware Detection — Uses ATR-based filtering to qualify pivot points. A level is only created if the price rejection is strong enough relative to current market volatility.
Smart Level Merging — Automatically consolidates levels that are too close to one another, preventing "line spaghetti" and identifying high-confluence zones.
Dynamic Zone Rendering — Visualizes S/R as shaded boxes. The width of these zones adapts to market volatility, providing a realistic representation of supply and demand.
Real-Time Breakout Tracking — Monitors price action in real-time to detect when a level is definitively breached, switching its status from "Active" to "Broken."
Automatic Pruning — Cleans the chart by removing levels that have exceeded a maximum age, ensuring your focus remains on current market structure.
🔵 HOW IT WORKS (IN-DEPTH)
1️⃣ Advanced Swing Detection
The indicator scans for Pivot Highs and Lows based on a user-defined Pivot Length.
The Strength Filter: It applies a "Min ATR Strength" check. For a pivot to be valid, the distance between the pivot point and its immediate neighbors must exceed a mathematical threshold of volatility. This filters out "fake" pivots during low-volume consolidation.
2️⃣ Adaptive Level Management
Merge Logic: Before a new level is drawn, the script checks if an existing level already exists within the "Merge Threshold." If it does, the indicator skips the new level, effectively treating the existing zone as the dominant area of interest.
Active vs. Broken: Levels remain "Active" as solid lines/zones as long as price respects them. Once price closes beyond the level (controlled by Break Sensitivity), the level is moved to the "Broken" category.
Visual Transition: Broken levels can be kept on the chart as muted, dotted lines—a crucial feature for traders who look for "S/R Flip" opportunities (where old resistance becomes new support).
3️⃣ The S/R Dashboard
A dedicated on-screen table provides a birds-eye view of the current structural state.
Nearest Resistance/Support: Displays the exact price of the closest active levels.
Last Break: Identifies the direction of the most recent volatility-confirmed breakout.
Active Counter: Keeps track of how many structural levels are currently being monitored by the system.
🔵 KEY FEATURES
ATR-Based Zone Width: Zones expand and contract based on market volatility, ensuring your stop-loss or entry buffers are mathematically sound.
Price Labels: Optional labels at the end of active lines provide the exact price for quick order entry.
Customizable Break Sensitivity: Define how much "daylight" price needs to show above or below a level before a breakout is confirmed.
Historical Record: Retain a specific number of recently broken levels to identify long-term historical confluence.
Clean Visuals: High-contrast colors for Support (Cyan) and Resistance (Orange), with fully customizable transparency.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Trading the Rejection: Look for price to enter a shaded Support or Resistance Zone. Wait for a reversal candle within the zone for a high-probability entry back toward the mean.
Trading the Breakout: When the "< Break" label appears, it confirms that price has closed beyond the zone with enough momentum to overcome the "Break Sensitivity" threshold.
The S/R Flip: Monitor "Broken" (dotted) levels. If price returns to a dotted Resistance line and treats it as Support, it confirms a structural shift in the market.
Volatility Buffers: Use the vertical height of the Zone Boxes to determine your "No-Trade Zone" or to help place stop-losses outside of the immediate area of market noise.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Adaptive Support and Resistance Zones transforms raw price action into an organized, data-driven roadmap. By automating the detection and management of key levels—while accounting for the ever-changing nature of market volatility—it allows traders to focus on execution rather than manual charting.

Tidemark Key LevelsA clean, all-in-one key levels indicator that maps the price reference points institutional traders use to define liquidity. It plots:
Previous and current Day, Week, and Year highs/lows
RTH session Open and Close
Asia and London session highs/lows
All anchored to a single timezone setting so levels stay accurate across instruments
Each level tracks its own state. Once price trades through it, the line fades to a configurable transparency, switches style (solid → dotted by default), and optionally appends a ✕ to its label — giving you an instant visual map of which liquidity pools have already been swept and which are still in play.
The confluence merge engine bundles levels that sit within an ATR-scaled distance of each other into a single line with a combined label (e.g., PDH/Asia H/Lon H), so stacked levels read as one zone instead of three overlapping plots. Current-day, current-week, and current-year highs/lows update live as the period develops and lock in when it closes.
Built with extended-hours data fetching so Asia and London ranges still plot correctly even when the chart is set to RTH-only.
Use it for: liquidity sweep entries, defining HTF context, marking magnet levels for breakout targets, and seeing at a glance whether the session is hunting old liquidity or building toward fresh. Indicator
Structural Sequence Pressure [JOAT]Structural Sequence Pressure
Introduction
Structural Sequence Pressure is a market-structure breakout indicator built around the idea that not all pivot levels carry the same weight. A level formed after one isolated pivot is ordinary. A level formed after repeated higher lows or lower highs represents structural persistence. This script quantifies that persistence, plots the resulting support and resistance levels, and highlights when those levels break.
The indicator is designed for traders who want clean structure without overfitting. It tracks sequence depth, manages active levels, and focuses attention on breaks that matter more because the market spent time constructing them.
Why This Indicator Exists
Sequence-Based Structure: Measures how many pivots formed in the same directional progression
Level Significance Filter: Helps distinguish weak levels from structurally reinforced ones
Live Break Detection: Signals when meaningful support or resistance gives way
Clutter Control: Caps active lines and labels to keep charts readable
Statistical Feedback: Shows the most recent sequence pressure behavior directly in the dashboard
Core Components Explained
1. Confirmed Pivot Detection
pivHigh = ta.pivothigh(high, leftBars, rightBars)
pivLow = ta.pivotlow(low, leftBars, rightBars)
The script only reacts to confirmed pivots. This means levels are built from validated swing points rather than from intrabar noise, which keeps the tool stable and non-repainting after pivot confirmation.
2. Upward and Downward Sequence Counting
When a new pivot low forms higher than the previous pivot low, the upward sequence count increases. When a new pivot high forms lower than the previous pivot high, the downward sequence count increases. If the relationship fails, the sequence resets to one.
Higher lows: Build upward structural pressure
Lower highs: Build downward structural pressure
Longer sequences: Represent stronger structural continuity
3. Active Level Engine
Every confirmed pivot creates a horizontal level that extends right. Support levels come from pivot lows. Resistance levels come from pivot highs. Each level stores:
Its price
Whether it is support or resistance
Its sequence depth
Its creation time
Levels are trimmed by age and capped by quantity so the chart stays clean.
4. Break Logic
brokeSupport = close < supportLevel
brokeResistance = close > resistanceLevel
Only levels with sequence depth greater than or equal to the selected threshold can trigger signals. This creates a cleaner breakout map that emphasizes structurally meaningful failures and expansions.
5. Chart Hygiene Controls
The script stores and prunes pivot labels so they do not accumulate indefinitely. Broken or expired levels are removed from active management, and broken levels can optionally be deleted immediately for a cleaner chart.
Visual Elements
Support Lines: Teal dashed levels extending from higher-low pivots
Resistance Lines: Red dashed levels extending from lower-high pivots
Pivot Labels: Compact U/D sequence tags showing progression depth
Break Markers: Triangles on bullish resistance breaks and bearish support breaks
Dashboard: Up sequence, down sequence, total breaks, last break depths, and active level count
Input Parameters
Pivot Left / Right Bars: Confirmation strength for structural swings
Minimum Sequence: Required sequence depth before a break can trigger
Max Active Levels: Hard cap for line management and chart cleanliness
Max Level Age: Removes stale structure from consideration
Delete Broken Levels: Optional cleanup for a more minimal chart
How to Use This Indicator
Step 1: Identify whether the market is building higher lows or lower highs.
Step 2: Focus on levels with deeper sequence counts.
Step 3: Treat bullish signals as upside breaks of resistance sequences.
Step 4: Treat bearish signals as downside breaks of support sequences.
Step 5: Use the level count and recent break depths to judge whether structure is compressing or resolving.
Best Practices
Use larger pivot settings on volatile instruments to reduce noise
Increase minimum sequence length when markets are choppy
Pair with trend or participation tools to separate continuation from exhaustion
Respect old levels less than fresh ones unless they were built with deep sequence pressure
Use the dashboard to calibrate structure sensitivity instrument by instrument
Indicator Limitations
Pivot-based tools confirm after the fact by design
Sequence strength measures persistence, not certainty
Very low pivot settings can create too many structural levels
Very high pivot settings can delay signals
Breakouts can still fail, especially in range-bound conditions
Technical Implementation
Built in Pine Script v6 using:
Confirmed pivot detection
Directional sequence counting
Array-managed line storage
Label retention caps for chart cleanliness
Age-based level cleanup
Non-repainting break logic on confirmed bars
Originality Statement
This indicator is original in its focus on sequence depth as the source of structural weighting. Many support and resistance tools draw levels; this one grades their importance by the persistence of the swing process that created them, then filters breakout logic through that structural pressure.

Shark Hunt | AnonycryptousShark Hunt | Anonycryptous
Description & user manual
(Some chart snapshots below)
Why makes this indicator different?
Most liquidity indicators show you levels. They draw a box where a swing high or low formed and wait for price to return. They do not tell you whether the return matters. They do not filter what is noise from what is a genuine institutional event. They do not confirm whether the move that touched the level was a stop hunt or just a graze. They show you where. Not what.
Shark Hunt works differently.
It does not just detect liquidity zones. It hunts what happens at them — mechanically, bar by bar, through a multi-layer confirmation engine that evaluates wick penetration, volume, rejection strength, and optional pattern confluence before a signal fires. Every condition has a purpose. Every filter reflects something that institutional order flow actually leaves behind.
Most traders can look at a chart in hindsight and spot a liquidity sweep. They see the wick, they see the reversal, they understand what happened. The challenge is identifying it as it forms, before the move is over. That is what Shark Hunt is built to do.
And then there is the Failure Entry engine.
Not every meaningful institutional move starts at a marked zone. Sometimes price sweeps a structural pivot mid-chart — no zone, no prior markup — and reverses sharply. These are swing failure patterns: a wick through a recent high or low, a close back inside, and the market moving the other way. Shark Hunt includes a complete standalone engine for detecting and trading these setups, with its own signal system, trade block, and performance tracking. It is an indicator within an indicator. When you enable it, the entire color scheme shifts to make the mode change unmistakable.
Most indicators are built for one idea. Shark Hunt is built for two ways of reading the same market — and it tells you clearly which mode you are in.

1. Overview
Shark Hunt is a liquidity zone detection and sweep confirmation indicator built around the behavior of institutional participants — how they build positions, how they run stops, and how that activity shows up on a chart.
What it includes:
- Impulse-scored liquidity zone detection at swing highs and lows
- Three-tier zone significance: scalp, intermediate, and major
- Multi-layer sweep confirmation: wick penetration, volume, rejection, and pattern gates
- Zone flip logic: broken support becomes resistance and vice versa
- Zone hold statistics with percentage display and liquidity value per zone
- Five price pattern detections: imbalances, absorption bars, price failures, level break retests, and wick traps
- Trade block visualization with configurable RR ratio, SL mode, and width
- Failure Entry engine: standalone SFP signal system with independent settings and trade blocks
- Sweep and failure mode color switching: fluor green/red for zone mode, fluor cyan/red for failure mode
- Neon glow rendering for both candles and zones: independently configurable
- Live dashboard showing active mode, zones, trade statistics, and PnL in R
- Alerts for zone sweep longs, zone sweep shorts, failure longs, and failure shorts
2. How zones are built
Shark Hunt detects liquidity pools at confirmed swing highs and lows using a pivot-based engine. Every zone is scored at the moment of formation using a composite impulse quality score — a weighted combination of body strength, volume relative to average, and bar range relative to ATR. Higher scores mean the move away from the zone was more decisive. When two zones form too close together, the weaker one is removed. Only the more significant level survives.
Zone significance is configurable in three modes:
-Scalp
Short pivot lookback. More zones formed, closer to current price. Suited for fast timeframes and intraday scalp setups.
-Intermediate
Balanced detection. A practical default across most instruments and timeframes.
-Major
Extended pivot lookback. Only the most significant structural levels qualify. Fewer zones, higher conviction per zone.
Each zone extends to the right in real time. A stats label shows the percentage of touches where price held without sweeping — the hold rate — and the estimated liquidity value at the formation bar, calculated as volume multiplied by price. These two numbers tell you how historically respected a zone is and how much institutional interest was present when it formed.
When price closes decisively through a zone, the zone flip logic converts it to the opposite side. A broken demand zone becomes supply. A broken supply zone becomes demand. This mirrors how smart money re-uses levels.
3. Sweep confirmation
A sweep fires only when all enabled conditions are satisfied on the same bar at close.
Wick penetration
The wick must break through the zone boundary by at least a configurable percentage of price. This filters grazes from genuine stop hunts. At 0.05%, small but intentional penetrations qualify. At 0.2% and above, only decisive spikes are counted.
Volume confirmation
The sweep bar must have volume at or above a configurable multiple of the rolling average. Institutional sweeps require size to move price and collect stops. A sweep on below-average volume is usually noise. This filter is toggleable.
Wick rejection
The wick that swept the zone must represent a minimum percentage of the bar's total range. A high rejection percentage means the bar closed far from its sweep extreme — price was pushed back hard. A low percentage means price drifted through and kept going. This filter is toggleable.
Pattern confirmation gates
Three optional gates can be added on top of the base sweep conditions:
- Require Price Failure (SFP): the sweep bar must also close back inside a recent pivot. Stop hunt confirmed by structure.
- Require Wick Trap: the sweeping wick must be at least twice the body size and larger than half an ATR. Pin-bar quality required.
- Require Absorption Bar: the sweep bar must fully engulf the previous candle. One-sided institutional commitment on the sweep itself.
Each gate is independent. Any combination can be active simultaneously. When all three are off, the base filters apply. When one or more are on, they stack as AND conditions — all must pass.
A cooldown setting prevents duplicate signals on the same level by requiring a minimum number of bars between confirmed sweeps.
When a sweep confirms, the zone is marked as swept and fades. A trade block is drawn showing the SL zone and TP zone based on the configured stop loss mode and RR ratio.
4. Price patterns
Five independent price pattern detections run continuously alongside the zone engine. Each can be toggled on or off.
-Price imbalances
Three-candle gaps where price moved too fast for two-sided trading. The gap between the first and third candle is visible as a small filled box. These areas act as magnets — price tends to return. A bull imbalance forms when a bullish candle leaves a gap above. A bear imbalance forms the same way in the opposite direction.
-Absorption bars
A candle that fully engulfs the previous candle in body. The current bar opened inside the prior bar's body and closed beyond it on the opposite side. This shows one side overpowering the other in a single bar — a sign of directional commitment. Marked with a small dot above or below the bar.
-Price failures
A bar that breaks a recent swing pivot with its wick but closes back inside. The market attempted a breakout, ran the stops beyond the pivot, then reversed. This is the mechanical signature of an institutional stop hunt at a structural level. Marked with a clean "F" label in bull or bear color.
-Level break and retest
When price closes through a recent pivot level and then returns to test it from the other side, a retest marker fires. Broken resistance retested as support, and vice versa. The cross marker appears at the retest bar.
-Wick traps
Candles with a wick at least twice the body size and larger than half an ATR. These mark areas of strong rejection. When a wick trap appears at or near a zone, it adds weight to the setup. Marked with a directional arrow.
5. Trade block
When a zone sweep confirms, a trade block is drawn from the signal bar forward. It shows the SL zone in red and the TP zone above or below entry.
Two stop loss modes are available:
-Zone mode
The stop is placed at the zone boundary plus a configurable ATR buffer. Consistent across setups — the SL is anchored to the structural level that defined the zone.
-Wick mode
The stop is placed at the deepest point of the sweep wick plus a configurable ATR buffer. Tighter, and closer to the actual sweep extreme. Can vary significantly bar to bar depending on wick size.
The RR ratio scales the TP distance as a multiple of the SL distance. At 1.0, TP equals SL distance — a 1:1 setup. At 2.0, TP is twice the SL distance. The trade block width in bars is configurable.
The backtest engine runs alongside the live chart. Every confirmed signal is tracked. When TP or SL is reached, the result is recorded as positive or negative R and accumulated in the dashboard.
6. Dashboard
The dashboard is displayed in a configurable position at tiny, small, or normal size.
It shows:
- Active mode: Sweep — on or off. Failure — on or off. Immediately visible at a glance.
- Depth: the current zone significance setting.
- Bull liquidity: number of active bull zones, with fresh zone count.
- Bear liquidity: same for bear zones.
- ATR: current ATR value for the active calculation period.
- Trades, longs, shorts, wins, losses, win rate: cumulative signal statistics.
- Total PnL in R: cumulative result across all signals.
- Expected value in R: average result per trade.
Mode colors are active throughout. In zone sweep mode, bull elements appear in fluor green. In failure entry mode, everything bull switches to fluor cyan. Bear elements remain in fluor red in both modes. The mode switch is visible across every element on the chart — zones, candles, markers, trade blocks, and the dashboard simultaneously.
7. Neon glow
Two independent glow systems are available under the Visuals section.
Neon glow candles
Three stacked plotcandle layers render the candles in fluor color with a soft outer glow. Body transparency and wick and border transparency are separately adjustable — softer body, harder wicks gives the most readable result. Two glow layers control the diffuse outer glow and the inner primary glow independently.
For best results: open chart settings, go to the Style tab, and set the default candle body, border, and wick to fully transparent. This removes the standard PulseWire candle rendering and lets only the glow candles show.
Neon glow zones
Four stacked box layers per zone produce a layered neon glow from the zone boundary outward. A single Zone Glow Strength slider controls all layers simultaneously — lower values produce a more intense neon effect, higher values produce a softer ambient glow.
Both systems work in both modes. When failure entry mode is active, the glow shifts to fluor cyan for all bull elements.
8. ⚡ The Failure Entry engine — the Bonus 🦈
Zone sweeps are the core of Shark Hunt. But not every institutional move starts at a marked level.
Sometimes price sweeps a structural pivot that has no zone drawn on it — a recent swing high or low that formed mid-session, between established zones. The move is decisive: a wick beyond the pivot, a close back inside, and price accelerating in the opposite direction. These are swing failure patterns. They are one of the cleanest institutional signatures available — a stop hunt at a structural level, confirmed by the bar's own price action.
The Failure Entry engine is a fully independent system inside Shark Hunt, built specifically to detect and trade these setups.
When Failure Entry mode is enabled, the zone sweep signal system is suspended. Zones remain on the chart as structural context — they often align with logical TP levels for failure trades. But entries come only from the failure engine.
The failure engine uses its own pivot lookback, separate from the zone detection engine. A dedicated wick size filter measured in ATR is the primary quality gate — it controls how large the failure wick must be relative to current volatility. Small values allow minor structural failures. Larger values require significant spike reversals. This is the primary lever for tightening or loosening signal quality.
A separate wick rejection percentage filter ensures the sweep bar closed convincingly away from its extreme. Volume confirmation with its own multiplier can be applied independently. A cooldown prevents duplicate signals on the same pivot.
The failure engine has its own trade block: fluor cyan for TP, fluor red for SL. The SL can be placed at the wick tip or at the pivot level itself, each with its own ATR buffer. The RR ratio and block width are independently configurable.
Performance is tracked separately. The failure PnL, win rate, and expected value accumulate in their own records and are reflected in the total dashboard figures. Every failure trade contributes to the overall session result.
Enabling failure entry mode changes the entire visual environment. All bull elements — zones, candles, markers, trade blocks — switch from fluor green to fluor cyan. The mode status rows in the dashboard confirm what is active at a glance. Switching modes is one toggle. The chart responds immediately across every element.
The failure engine is not a replacement for the zone sweep system. It is a complementary tool for catching institutional moves that do not begin at a pre-mapped level. Used in combination with the zone context still visible on the chart, it gives Shark Hunt coverage of both types of setup — the anticipated sweep at a known level, and the opportunistic reversal at an unmarked pivot.

10. How to use
10.1 Initial setup
1. Set zone significance to match your timeframe. Major works well on 3m and 15m as a starting point.
2. Enable the filters you want active. Volume confirmation and wick rejection are on by default — these are the minimum recommended filters.
3. Set your RR ratio. The default of 1.0 is conservative. Adjust based on your own risk management rules.
4. Decide whether to use zone mode or failure entry mode. Both can be tested and compared using the dashboard statistics.
5. If you want neon glow rendering, set default chart candles to transparent first, then enable the glow toggles.
10.2 Reading the chart
Zones in fluor green are bull liquidity pools — unfilled stop clusters below recent swing lows. Zones in fluor red are bear liquidity pools above swing highs. The opacity and label show how historically respected each zone is.
When price approaches a zone, watch the sweep confirmation criteria. A qualifying bar at close triggers the signal and draws the trade block.
"F" labels mark price failure patterns. When an F appears near a zone boundary, it strengthens the setup. A price failure at a liquidity zone is the clearest confluence available in Shark Hunt — a structural stop hunt confirmed by both the zone engine and the failure pattern simultaneously.
Imbalance boxes, absorption dots, retest crosses, and wick trap arrows all provide additional context. None of them are trade signals by themselves. They are confluence indicators — the more of them align with a zone sweep, the higher the contextual quality of the setup.
10.3 Illustrative bull scenario
Educational example only. Not a trading recommendation.
A swing low forms with strong impulse score. A bull liquidity zone is drawn below it, showing 100% hold and a high liquidity value. Several bars later, price dips into the zone with a sharp wick on elevated volume. The wick is larger than the body, covering more than 25% of the bar range. The bar closes above the zone boundary. A fluor green triangle fires below the bar. The trade block appears showing the TP zone above and the SL zone below. An "F" label also appears on the same bar — the zone sweep and the price failure both confirmed simultaneously.
10.4 Illustrative bear scenario
Educational example only. Not a trading recommendation.
Price rallies into a bear liquidity zone marked from a prior swing high. The approach candle is an absorption bar — a dot appears above it. On the next bar, a sharp spike above the zone on high volume forms a wick that covers more than 25% of the bar range, closing back below the zone top. The sweep confirms. A fluor red triangle fires above the bar. The trade block drops from entry to the TP target below. A wick trap arrow also marks the same bar — strong institutional rejection at a known supply level.
10.5 Using failure entry mode
Enable failure entry mode when you want to trade swing failure patterns without requiring a pre-mapped zone.
The zone boundaries remain on the chart. Use them as context. A failure trade that targets a nearby bull or bear zone as its TP has structural justification for the exit level.
The min failure wick (ATR) setting is the primary quality control. Start at 0.4. If you see too many minor failures firing, raise it. If the engine is missing moves you can see visually, lower it.
The dashboard will show failure-specific statistics. Compare the failure win rate and expected value to the zone sweep statistics. Over time, this data tells you which setup type performs better on your instrument and timeframe.
10.6 Timeframe guide
- 1m–2m: scalp depth, loose filters, high zone count, failure mode useful
- 3m–5m: recommended default settings, both engines perform well
- 15m: major depth, tighter wick penetration, fewer but higher quality setups
- 30m and above: increase pivot lookback for both zone and failure engines
11. Tip
The zone hold percentage is information. A zone with 0% hold has been swept every time price visited it. That is a weak zone — it may not hold the next time either. A zone at 95% hold has defended itself repeatedly. That is a level with a track record.
Volume confirmation is your noise filter. On most instruments, genuine institutional sweeps show up on volume. A sweep on below-average volume is usually a retail move or a thin-market spike. Keep volume confirmation on unless your instrument has unreliable volume data.
The pattern confirmation gates stack. Requiring price failure, wick trap, and absorption simultaneously will produce very few signals — but the ones that fire will have three independent confirmations in addition to the base sweep conditions. Use the gates selectively based on how many signals your timeframe normally generates.
Zone glow and candle glow are independent. You can use zone glow without candle glow, or both together. The neon rendering is a visual choice — it does not affect signal logic.
Failure mode changes everything visually. When you enable it, the entire chart shifts to fluor cyan for bull elements. This is intentional — it makes the mode switch obvious. There is no ambiguity about which engine is active.
The dashboard expected value is the most useful long-term metric. A positive expected value means the average signal generates profit over time. A negative value means the current settings lose on average even if the win rate looks reasonable. Track it across sessions to validate your configuration.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔬 The Market Structure Engine — How It Works
At the core of AlphaX Structure Flow Pro is a real-time pivot-based swing detection system that continuously tracks confirmed swing highs and swing lows using a configurable lookback window. Every confirmed pivot is labeled, connected, and used as the structural reference for all break logic downstream.
Each confirmed pivot produces:
A dotted swing line connecting the current and previous swing high or swing low — a live map of whether price is building higher highs and higher lows, or lower highs and lower lows
Small compact H and L labels at every swing point to mark the structural sequence clearly
From these pivots, the engine monitors two distinct types of structural break — each progressively more powerful than the last:
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
1 ─ Market Structure Break (MSB)
A confirmed close beyond the last tracked swing high or low, validated by a Momentum Z-Score filter . The Z-Score measures how many standard deviations the current bar's price change sits above or below its 50-bar mean. Only breaks where momentum is statistically significant above your configured threshold are accepted — low-conviction wicks, slow grinds, and false closes through structure are automatically ignored.
When a valid MSB fires:
A horizontal line is drawn from the breached pivot to the current bar, anchored at the exact structural level
An MSB ▲ or MSB ▼ label appears at the midpoint of that line
The breached swing level is reset so the engine never double-fires on the same break
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
2 ─ Break of Market Structure (BMS)
A stricter and more powerful structural confirmation. In addition to closing beyond the pivot, BMS requires the breaking candle to have a body-to-range ratio above 50% — the break must be driven by a full-bodied candle, not a wick spike. BMS fires as a compact BMS label when it occurs without a simultaneous MSB, giving you a clear visual distinction between a momentum-confirmed break and a body-confirmed break.
How to read them together:
MSB — momentum is statistically significant but the candle body is below 50% — a valid break, treat it with context
BMS — the candle closed through structure with conviction — higher-probability structural shift
When both fire simultaneously, only the MSB label is shown as it already captures the event
Together, MSB and BMS form the structural backbone from which all Order Block discovery, FVG anchoring, and SMC Confluence scoring is triggered.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📦 Order Block Engine with HPZ Scoring
Every Market Structure Break triggers an automatic search backward through the preceding candles to identify the originating Order Block — the last candle moving against the direction of the break before price impulsed away. For a bullish MSB the engine finds the last bearish candle within the lookback window. For a bearish MSB it finds the last bullish candle.
Each discovered Order Block is assigned a Quality Score from 0 to 100 built from four independent factors:
Momentum Strength
The absolute magnitude of the Momentum Z-Score at the time of the MSB. Stronger impulsive moves away from the OB produce higher scores — a zone that launched a 3-sigma move ranks far above one that launched a 0.5-sigma drift.
Volume Percentile
The current bar's volume ranked against its last 100 bars using percentile rank. High-volume structural breaks indicate institutional participation — OBs discovered on high-volume breaks score significantly higher.
Candle Body Ratio
The proportion of the breaking candle that is body versus wick. A full-bodied impulsive candle away from the OB signals conviction. A wick-heavy or indecision candle signals a weaker origin.
OB Size Relative to ATR
The Order Block's height measured against the current 14-period ATR. Compact, well-defined OBs close to 1 ATR score proportionally — excessively large or tiny zones are naturally discounted.
These four factors are combined into the final Quality Score displayed on every OB label. Zones that score above your configured HPZ Threshold (default 75%) are promoted to High Probability Zones ⬡ and rendered with a brighter border and a distinct ⬡HPZ badge — the highest-conviction institutional zones on your chart.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Order Block Management
Active Order Blocks are not static — AlphaX Structure Flow Pro manages every zone dynamically bar by bar:
Live extension — every active, unmitigated OB extends its right edge forward to the current bar automatically, keeping your zones current at all times
Point of Control (POC) line — a dashed line at the exact midpoint of every OB, showing the most important price level within the zone
Mitigation detection — when price trades into the OB (low below OB bottom for bullish, high above OB top for bearish), the zone is marked as mitigated and dimmed to neutral gray
Historical mode — mitigated OBs remain visible on the chart dimmed for reference, letting you study how price reacted after mitigation
Present mode — mitigated OBs are deleted automatically, keeping the chart clean with only live unmitigated zones visible
Extend Broken OBs — optionally continue extending mitigated zones for up to 50 bars after mitigation for post-mitigation analysis
Overlap filtering — optionally hide new OBs that overlap existing active zones, preventing zone clustering in congested areas
OB Reliability tracker — the dashboard shows a live percentage of how many total OBs have been mitigated versus left untouched, giving you a real-time measure of how well price is respecting the zones on your current instrument and timeframe
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📊 Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
AlphaX Structure Flow Pro detects Fair Value Gaps — three-candle imbalances where price moved so fast that the market left an unfilled gap between candle one's high/low and candle three's low/high.
Bullish FVG — candle three's low is above candle one's high — an upward gap in price action that the market may return to fill
Bearish FVG — candle three's high is below candle one's low — a downward gap
A minimum FVG size filter (ATR × your configured factor) prevents micro-gaps from cluttering the chart — only imbalances of meaningful size relative to current volatility are plotted.
Each FVG is drawn as a shaded box that extends forward bar by bar. When price trades back into the gap, the box is marked as filled and dimmed to neutral, stopping its extension. The dashboard tracks how many FVGs remain unfilled at all times, and the SMC Confluence engine uses unfilled FVGs above and below price as draw-on-liquidity targets when scoring entry signals.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚡ Liquidity Sweeps
A Liquidity Sweep is one of the most important Smart Money patterns — institutions engineer price to run stop-loss liquidity beyond obvious highs or lows, then reverse sharply. AlphaX Structure Flow Pro identifies these events in real time.
Bullish Sweep — the candle's low breaks below the lowest low of the recent lookback window but the candle closes back above that level as a bullish close. Stops below recent lows were hunted, liquidity was absorbed, and price reversed upward.
Bearish Sweep — the candle's high breaks above the highest high of the recent lookback window but the candle closes back below that level as a bearish close. Stops above recent highs were hunted.
Each sweep is marked with a compact ⚡ label at the wick extreme. Sweeps feed directly into the SMC Confluence scoring system — a bullish sweep adds 20 points to the Bull SMC Score because it signals smart money accumulation, and a bearish sweep adds 20 points to the Bear SMC Score for the same reason in reverse.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
〰 Equal Highs and Equal Lows (EQH / EQL)
Equal Highs and Equal Lows are areas where price has printed two swing highs or two swing lows at nearly the same level — these levels represent clusters of resting stop-loss orders and are prime targets for institutional liquidity sweeps.
AlphaX Structure Flow Pro detects EQH and EQL automatically by comparing consecutive confirmed pivots. When two swing highs are within your configured ATR-scaled tolerance of each other, an EQH label and dotted connection line are drawn. When two swing lows match, an EQL label appears.
The ATR-scaled tolerance ensures the detection adapts to current market volatility — what counts as "equal" on a calm Asian session is different from a high-volatility London open, and the indicator adjusts automatically.
Equal Highs and Equal Lows marked with purple dotted lines — clear visual identification of stop-hunt targets above and below current price
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🧠 SMC Confluence Scoring System
Every signal in AlphaX Structure Flow Pro feeds into a real-time SMC Confluence Engine that evaluates all active conditions simultaneously and produces a score from 0 to 100 for both the bullish and bearish side. Only scores that meet your configured minimum threshold generate a visible entry label — weak, ambiguous, or isolated setups never reach the chart.
Bull SMC Score Factors:
Market Structure Break (30 points) — an MSB bull fires adds 30 points as the core structural trigger. A BMS bull without simultaneous MSB adds 20 points.
Liquidity Sweep (20 points) — a bullish sweep on the current bar adds 20 points — smart money has absorbed sell-side liquidity
Near Bullish HPZ Order Blocks (up to 18 points) — two or more unmitigated bullish HPZ OBs within 2 ATR of price adds 18 points. One HPZ OB nearby adds 10 points.
Bearish FVG Draw on Liquidity (up to 10 points) — two or more unfilled bearish FVGs above price (magnets drawing price upward) adds 10 points. One adds 5 points.
Momentum Z-Score confirmation (up to 12 points) — strong upward momentum (Z > 2.0) adds 12 points. Moderate (Z > 1.0) adds 7. Mild (Z > 0.5) adds 3.
Volume ratio (up to 8 points) — volume spike (×2.0) adds 8, high volume (×1.3) adds 5, above average (×1.0) adds 2
Candle body (up to 6 points) — a bullish close with body ratio above 60% adds 6 points. Any bullish close adds 3.
Penalties — strong downward momentum (Z < −1.0) deducts 10 points. Two or more nearby bearish HPZ OBs deduct 8 points.
Bear SMC Score Factors are the exact mirror of the above, applied in reverse for all bearish conditions.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Signal Tiers and Entry Labels
Every signal that clears the minimum SMC score threshold is classified into one of three tiers based on its final score:
S-Tier — score ≥ 70. Maximum confluence. All major factors aligned. The highest-confidence setups the engine produces.
A-Tier — score 55–69. Strong confluence with most major factors present.
B-Tier — score at or above your minimum threshold but below 55. Valid setup with meaningful confluence but fewer confirming factors.
Entry labels appear directly on the chart with the tier and score displayed:
▲ S-SMC (82) — bullish S-tier signal with a score of 82
▼ A-SMC (61) — bearish A-tier signal with a score of 61
Label color intensity reflects the tier — S-tier labels use the brightest bull or bear color, A-tier uses the primary color, B-tier uses the dimmed shade. This gives you instant visual priority — your eyes go to the brightest labels first.
A configurable Signal Cooldown prevents back-to-back signals within a set number of bars, eliminating label spam during fast-moving structural events.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🗓 Session Ranges
AlphaX Structure Flow Pro includes a full Session Range overlay for the four major trading sessions — London, New York, Tokyo, and Sydney — each independently toggleable with customizable colors and time windows.
Session boxes draw in real time as the session opens, expanding their high and low dynamically as price prints new extremes within the session. The session label updates its position to stay centered above the range. Each session closes when its time window ends, leaving the completed range as a permanent reference box for that period.
Use session ranges to:
Identify the high and low of a session as key liquidity targets for sweeps
Determine whether an MSB or OB formation occurred during a high-liquidity or low-liquidity window
Spot the London or New York open as a structural break origin
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📊 Live Dashboard
The AlphaX Structure Flow Pro dashboard gives you a complete real-time readout of every active market condition in a compact panel — no need to visually scan the chart for each element individually.
Market Structure section:
MSB STATUS — shows whether a Bull MSB, Bear MSB, or no MSB is active on the current bar
BMS (BODY) — shows whether a body-confirmed structural break is active
MOMENTUM Z — current Z-score reading with direction label (STRONG / MODERATE / MILD / FLAT) and raw value
Order Blocks section:
ACTIVE OBs — total count of unmitigated Order Blocks currently on the chart
HPZ OBs — count of active High Probability Zone OBs, highlighted when any are present
OB RELIABILITY — live percentage of total OBs that have been mitigated since the indicator started tracking — your real-time measure of how well structure is being respected
Liquidity & Imbalance section:
LIQ SWEEP — shows whether a Bull or Bear liquidity sweep is active on the current bar
OPEN FVGs — count of unfilled Fair Value Gaps currently active
DRAW ON LIQ — shows whether price has unfilled FVGs drawing it upward, downward, or on both sides
SMC Confluence section:
BULL SMC SCORE — current bullish confluence score with tier label (S-TIER / A-TIER / B-TIER / LOW)
BEAR SMC SCORE — current bearish confluence score with tier label
HPZ PROXIMITY — shows whether price is near a Bull HPZ zone, Bear HPZ zone, both sides, or neither
Market Conditions section:
VOLUME — current volume classified as SPIKE / HIGH / NORMAL / DRY with the live ×ratio
ATR (14) — current 14-period ATR value in price terms
CANDLE BODY — current candle body ratio classified as STRONG / MODERATE / WEAK with percentage
Active Signal section:
SIGNAL — shows the active entry signal direction and tier, or NONE — the single most important row if you need a quick status check
Dashboard position (Top Left / Top Right / Bottom Left / Bottom Right) and text size (Tiny / Small / Normal / Large) are fully configurable.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚠ Identifying Low-Quality Conditions — When NOT to Trade
Knowing when to stay out is just as important as knowing when to enter. AlphaX Structure Flow Pro gives you clear signals that the market is not in a tradeable condition:
How to identify unfavorable conditions:
No MSB or BMS on the dashboard — if the MSB STATUS row shows NONE, there is no confirmed structural trigger. No structural break means no Order Block discovery, and no SMC signals should be acted on.
Bull and Bear SMC Scores both show LOW — when neither side can build enough confluence to reach even B-tier, the market is either ranging, choppy, or lacking institutional participation. Wait for a clear dominant side to emerge.
OB RELIABILITY is very high (above 80–90%) — when nearly every OB is being quickly mitigated, price is not respecting structure and the market is in a sweep-and-reverse or noise regime. Reduce position size or stand aside.
No SMC entry labels appearing — the confluence engine is running on every bar. If no labels are printing even after MSB events, the filters are doing their job blocking low-quality setups. Do not lower the threshold to force signals — wait for real confluence.
DRAW ON LIQ shows BOTH SIDES — unfilled FVGs above and below simultaneously means price is in the middle of a contested range with equal magnets in both directions. No clean directional edge exists.
MOMENTUM Z reads FLAT on the dashboard — flat momentum at a structural level often means a failed break rather than a true MSB. Treat these events with extra caution.
What to do during unfavorable conditions:
Wait for a clean MSB or BMS to set the directional bias before considering any entry
Look for one dominant side in the SMC Confluence section — both Bull and Bear scores being low simultaneously is a ranging signal
Watch for a liquidity sweep followed immediately by an MSB in the same direction — that sequence is one of the highest-probability SMC setups and will produce a strong confluence score when it fires
Consider switching to a higher timeframe to find cleaner structure — if the current timeframe is printing rapid alternating MSBs, the higher timeframe trend will show you the dominant direction
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🚀 How to Trade with AlphaX Structure Flow Pro — Step by Step
Step 1 — Read the Dashboard
Check MSB STATUS and BMS — is there a live structural break?
Check Bull and Bear SMC Scores — is one side clearly dominant with a B-tier or higher score?
Check DRAW ON LIQ — are unfilled FVGs pulling price in one clear direction?
If no clear dominant side and no MSB → do not trade. Wait for structure.
Step 2 — Identify the Structural Trigger
An MSB ▲ or BMS bull sets your bullish directional bias
An MSB ▼ or BMS bear sets your bearish directional bias
Do not enter blindly on the MSB label alone — use it to set context, then wait for a tiered SMC signal to confirm
Step 3 — Enter on a Tiered SMC Signal
Wait for a ▲ SMC or ▼ SMC label to appear with a tier of B or higher
Prioritize S-tier and A-tier signals — these have the most factors aligned
Check that an unmitigated HPZ Order Block is nearby in the direction of the trade — HPZ proximity is displayed on the dashboard in real time
Place your stop loss beyond the most recent swing low (for longs) or swing high (for shorts), or just beyond the relevant OB's outer edge
Step 4 — Use FVGs and OBs as Targets and Re-Entry Zones
Unfilled FVGs in the direction of the trade are natural draw-on-liquidity targets — they show you where price is likely being pulled toward
Mitigated OBs (shown dimmed in Historical mode) mark areas where price has already visited and absorbed — useful as reference for prior institutional activity
If price pulls back into an unmitigated bullish OB without triggering a new bearish MSB, that is a potential re-entry zone aligned with the original structural break
Step 5 — Monitor for Structural Invalidation
If an opposing MSB fires after your entry, the structure has shifted — close or reduce your position
If the SMC Score for your trade direction drops to LOW on the dashboard without a new signal, momentum is fading
A liquidity sweep against your position that does not produce a reversal SMC signal is a warning — tighten your stop
Step 6 — Watch for Equal Highs/Lows as Exit Targets
EQH levels above price during a bull trade are natural exit zones — institutions often sweep equal highs as final liquidity grabs before reversal
EQL levels below price during a bear trade serve the same purpose
Consider taking partial profit as price approaches an EQH or EQL level, then hold the remainder for a potential sweep and continuation

📝 Notes
Session range features use the time zone of each configured session string — set your London and New York session times to match your chart's time zone if ranges appear offset
The Momentum Z-Score is calculated over a 50-bar rolling window — on very short histories or immediately after a chart loads, early bars may have lower Z-Score values until the window fills
OB Reliability percentage starts from zero when the indicator first loads and builds over time as OBs are discovered and mitigated — it is most meaningful after a full session of price action
The SMC Confluence Engine evaluates conditions on bar close — all signals are non-repainting and confirmed on the closed bar
With max_boxes_count, max_lines_count, and max_labels_count each set to 500 and max_bars_back at 500, on very low timeframes with extended chart history the oldest visual elements may be automatically removed by PulseWire's rendering limits — this is a platform constraint, not an indicator limitation
The HPZ proximity check uses a 2 ATR radius around the current close price — zones further away than 2 ATR are not counted in the SMC score even if they are unmitigated and visible on the chart

Tiki Gamma (GEX)
Tiki Gamma maps the options dealer hedging levels that may influence intraday price action — directly on your chart.
Options dealers hedge trillions in exposure every session. They typically hedge by buying or selling the underlying to stay delta-neutral. Theoretical models suggest that at strikes where large open interest concentrates, this hedging may be large enough to influence price. These flows can be systematic and large, and are often watched by institutional desks as potential structural support and resistance reference points.
This indicator draws manually provided levels. It does not calculate levels from live options data. It is a visualization tool for external data.
What It Draws
Call Walls & Put Walls — Overhead zones where theoretical dealer selling is heaviest. Below-market zones where theoretical dealer buying provides structural support. Call walls may resist upward moves; put walls, if broken, may lead to accelerated moves. Line thickness scales with strength so the dominant level is immediately visible.
Zero Gamma Flip — An important regime filter in modern markets. Above it, dealers may trade mean-reverting. Below it, they may trade amplifying.
Expert Configuration (Signal-to-Noise Ratio) — Ships with optimized configuration for high-conviction trading. We recommend limiting Walls and Absolute Gamma to 3 levels each at 80%+ strength to filter out noise, while keeping Large Gamma at a 5-level, 50% strength threshold to catch secondary intraday pivots.
Gamma Transition Band (Experimental) — The contested zone around the flip where dealer positioning is mixed. Price action inside this band is inherently noisier. These levels are currently in experimental beta.
Key Gamma Strike & Large Gamma — Potential areas of interest. Price may gravitate toward them. In trending sessions, they can act as checkpoint S/R. Optional strength percentages and GEX magnitude labels show which levels carry real weight.
Vanna Inflection — Where an IV expansion triggers forced delta rehedging independent of price movement. A level that is often monitored during gap opens and VIX events.
Speed Trap — Where a move lower may theoretically create disproportionate dealer selling. A level that may turn a pullback into a flush.
Max Pain — The settlement gravity point. The zone expands automatically near close as charm-driven delta unwinding theoretically strengthens into expiration — reflecting end-of-day pinning behavior.
Expected / Implied Move Bands — 1-SD and 2-SD statistical envelopes. Inside the box: mean reversion is plausible. Outside it: respect the move.
Visual Design
Regime Background — Chart can be configured to tint teal above the gamma flip (stabilizing), magenta below (amplifying). Off by default to minimize clutter.
Strength-Scaled Lines & Opacity — Dominant levels draw thicker and more opaque. Weaker levels fade. Hierarchy is visible without reading a single label.
HUD Dashboard — Compact overlay showing current regime, distance to nearest walls in implied-move units (sigma), and futures basis shift.
Proximity Highlighting — Zone opacity increases when price enters a level. The active level always stands out.
Max Pain Expansion — The max pain zone grows as charm effects strengthen into the close, reflecting real-time gravitational pull.
Price Axis Tags — Every level is tagged on the price axis for quick reference without chart clutter.
Futures Basis Shift — SPX/NDX levels mapped accurately onto ES/NQ charts. When in Prior Bar mode, the indicator dynamically calculates the exact, real-time basis offset using prior close data to ensure perfect, stable alignment. If the ticker is unmapped or Session Open mode is selected, it automatically falls back to your initially pasted Basis Shift.
Settings & Configuration
The indicator features deep customisation via its settings panel, grouped for ease of use:
Visibility — Toggle individual level types (Walls, GEX nodes, Vanna, Speed Trap, etc.), the HUD Dashboard, and Price Axis Labels. Choose between Level names, Prices, or both for on-chart labels.
Style — Adjust base Line Width and enable Strength scaling for width/opacity. Toggle GEX Magnitude ($) and Vol Resilience (↑/↓) arrows in labels. Select Label Alignment (Left vs Last Bar) and Format (Full vs Abbreviated). Configure Display Timezone for timestamped levels.
Level Filters — Fine-tune signal clarity by setting global and per-type "Min Strength %" thresholds. Use the "Max Total Levels" cap to limit the total number of lines drawn near price.
Colors & Opacity — Customise the color for every level category. Global sliders control base opacity for lines and shaded influence zones.
Visual Effects & Advanced — Configure Regime Background colors and opacity. Customise Advanced Max Pain settings, including the close-time target and the growth window for end-of-day expansion.
How It Works
Paste your formatted level data into the indicator's text input. Each level accepts optional metadata — strength, vol resilience, and GEX magnitude — so the indicator reflects the full depth of the pipeline output, not just price levels.
Open Source
Full source is published openly. Read it, fork it, learn from it. Every level type is documented in the script header with the theoretical dealer mechanics that drive it. The display layer is transparent. Indicator

Session Range Map [ATC] v3.1Session Range Map is an intraday reference-level overlay that combines prior-day structure, pre-market structure, and opening-range structure into one organized chart view.
The goal of the script is simple: keep the most commonly watched session-based levels visible in a clean format so traders can quickly see where price is trading relative to important references throughout the day.
What this script plots
• Prior High
• Prior Low
• Pre-Market High
• Pre-Market Low
• Opening Range High
• Opening Range Low
The opening range can be configured to 5, 15, or 30 minutes.
Visual structure
• Prior High is drawn as a solid red line
• Prior Low is drawn as a solid green line
• Pre-Market High and Pre-Market Low are drawn as dashed white lines
• ORB High and ORB Low are drawn as blue lines
• ORB lines are thinner while the opening range is building and become thicker once the opening range is locked
HUD
The script includes an on-chart HUD that displays:
• Prior High
• Prior Low
• Pre-Market High
• Pre-Market Low
• ORB High
• ORB Low
• ORB Status
• ORB Range
For each level, the HUD also shows the live distance from price in ticks. This helps reduce manual chart estimation and makes it easier to judge whether price is trading directly into a nearby level or still has room before reaching it.
How to use it
This script is intended as a session-structure and chart-context tool rather than a standalone signal generator.
A practical workflow:
1. Start with the prior-day and pre-market levels
These levels provide an initial framework for likely reaction areas, acceptance zones, and rejection points before the regular session develops further.
2. Let the opening range form
As the market opens, the ORB High and ORB Low build automatically. Once the selected ORB window is complete, the range locks and remains on the chart.
3. Watch how price behaves around key levels
Price interaction with prior-day, pre-market, and ORB levels can help frame intraday structure and location.
4. Pay attention to level clustering
When multiple session levels are close together, that area can become a more important decision zone.
5. Use the HUD to judge proximity
The live tick-distance readout can help distinguish between price trading in open space and price trading close to an important level.
ORB behavior
The opening range starts at the regular-session open and builds for the selected 5-minute, 15-minute, or 30-minute window. After that window completes, the ORB locks.
The HUD reports whether the ORB is:
• Building
• Inside Range
• Breakout Up
• Breakout Down
Alerts included
• Close through Prior High
• Close through Prior Low
• Close through Pre-Market High
• Close through Pre-Market Low
• ORB Locked
• ORB Breakout Up
• ORB Breakout Down

Best fit
This script is intended for intraday charts and is especially suited to liquid stocks, ETFs, and futures where prior-day, pre-market, and opening-range levels are commonly used as reference points.
