MSnR QM LevelMSnR QM Level
This script detects Quasimodo (QM) levels from the close prices of consecutive candles and draws
them as horizontal support and resistance lines.
A QM Level forms when price creates a turning point, breaks it, builds a second turning point on
the other side, and then breaks that too. What is left behind is the price of the original turning
point, which is where liquidity was trapped and where the market often reacts again.
The result is a structural map of QM levels across the scan window, drawn as horizontal lines that
extend to the right from the candle that set the price.
WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT
1. Strict four step detection.
Most QM tools look for swing highs and swing lows relative to some lookback period. This script
uses a precise four step sequence built entirely from consecutive candle pairs. Every step must
complete before a QM Level is confirmed, which eliminates the vague heuristics that plague swing
based detection.
2. The level price is the CLOSE, not the wick.
Every level sits at the close of the candle that set it. Closes are where the market actually
agreed on a price, which is why a close through a level counts as a break here while a wick through
it does not.
3. Every level is checked for uniqueness.
Duplicate prices within a small tolerance are not drawn twice. If two QM Levels land on the same
price, only one line appears. This keeps the chart clean without losing any information.
4. Detection reads confirmed candles only.
The running candle is never used. Every detection step requires a fully closed candle, and the scan
starts one bar behind the latest bar. Nothing on the chart changes while a candle is still open.
THE TWO QM TYPES
A candle is Green when close is greater than open and Red when close is less than open. A Doji,
where close equals open, is neither and forms no level. Only fully closed candles are read.
Buy QM (support)
Step 1. Find a V Level: a Red candle followed by a Green candle. The V Level price is the close of
the Red candle.
Step 2. Find the earliest Red candle after the V Level that closes below the V Level price. This is
the V Breakdown.
Step 3. Between the V Level and the V Breakdown, find an A Level: a Green candle followed by a Red
candle. Use the one nearest the V Breakdown if several exist. The A Level price is the close of the
Green candle.
Step 4. After the V Breakdown, find any Green candle that closes above the A Level price. The A
Level is now broken upward.
If all four steps confirm, the V Level price becomes the Buy QM Level. The line is drawn at that
price and extends to the right.
Sell QM (resistance)
Step 1. Find an A Level: a Green candle followed by a Red candle. The A Level price is the close of
the Green candle.
Step 2. Find the earliest Green candle after the A Level that closes above the A Level price. This
is the A Breakout.
Step 3. Between the A Level and the A Breakout, find a V Level: a Red candle followed by a Green
candle. Use the one nearest the A Breakout if several exist. The V Level price is the close of the
Red candle.
Step 4. After the A Breakout, find any Red candle that closes below the V Level price. The V Level
is now broken downward.
If all four steps confirm, the A Level price becomes the Sell QM Level. The line is drawn at that
price and extends to the right.
In both cases the QM Level marks the price of the ORIGINAL turning point: the one that was broken,
rebuilt from the other side, and then had its counterpart broken as well. That is the price where
liquidity was trapped, and it is the price the script watches.
READING THE CHART
Color tells you the side:
- Green line and green label: Buy QM. This level sits below price as support.
- Red line and red label: Sell QM. This level sits above price as resistance.
Each line starts at the candle that set its price and extends to the right, so you can see how
price has behaved around it since. The label sits at that same candle, below the line for a Buy QM
and above it for a Sell QM, so it never covers the line itself.
A summary table in the corner counts how many Buy QM and Sell QM levels were found in the current
scan window, including those that are hidden by a toggle. The table always reflects what the market
actually printed rather than what is currently switched on.
SETTINGS
Scan
- Scan Length: how many closed candles are scanned backwards from the latest bar. Every QM Level
inside that window is drawn. The running candle is always excluded.
Level Types
- An individual switch for Buy QM and Sell QM. Hiding one side is useful when you only want to
see levels in one direction.
Style
- Sell QM Color and Buy QM Color.
Labels
- Show Labels, Label Offset in ticks, and Label Size. The offset is measured in ticks, so a value
that looks right on one symbol may need adjusting on another.
Summary Table
- Show, position and size of the corner table.
ALERTS
Two alert conditions are available: Buy QM and Sell QM.
Each message carries the level type, the symbol, the timeframe and the closing price. The same
messages are also sent through the alert function, so the "Any alert() function call" alert type
can deliver both through a single alert.
All alerts are evaluated only after a candle has fully closed.
An alert fires when the four step QM sequence completes on the latest closed candle. Because
completion requires a breakout of the inner level, these alerts do not fire on every bar; they fire
only when price actually confirms a new QM structure.
REPAINTING
This script does not repaint.
- Detection reads confirmed candles only. The scan starts one bar behind the latest bar, so the
candle that is still forming is never part of any calculation.
- Alert signals can only become true once a candle has finished. Price moving inside an open candle
cannot make a signal appear and then disappear.
- Levels are rebuilt on the last bar from confirmed history. A level's price never moves. Once
drawn, nothing shifts backwards.
When you create an alert, PulseWire may show a caution banner saying the indicator can repaint.
That banner appears automatically for any script that uses the built in bar state variables, no
matter how they are used, because the platform cannot check the intent behind them. This script
uses them for the opposite purpose: one of them is what restricts every signal to bar close, and
the other is what redraws the levels efficiently on the final bar. Choosing "Once Per Bar Close"
when creating the alert is still recommended.
NOTES AND LIMITATIONS
- A QM Level requires a specific four step sequence to complete. That makes them less common than
plain A and V Levels, so stretches with few or no QM Levels are normal and expected.
- PulseWire caps drawings at 500 lines and 500 labels. A very long Scan Length will hit that
ceiling and the oldest drawings will be dropped. The default is chosen to stay well inside it.
- The label offset is measured in ticks, and a tick is worth a very different amount on a crypto
pair than on a forex pair. Expect to adjust it when you move between symbols.
- Level prices come from closes, so a level can sit in the middle of a long wick. That is
deliberate, not a bug.
- Duplicate prices within a tolerance of two ticks are drawn only once. If two QM Levels land on
nearly the same price, you see one line instead of two stacked on top of each other.
- Detection is purely structural. It reports where QM Levels are and which side they sit on. It
does not rank them by strength, measure what happened afterwards, or produce entries, targets or
stops.
HOW TO USE IT
A QM Level marks a price where price created a turning point, broke it, built the opposite turning
point, and then broke that too. The original turning point is where one side was trapped, and price
returning to that price often produces a reaction.
Buy QM Levels below price act as support. Sell QM Levels above price act as resistance. When
several levels cluster near the same price, the area is often more significant than any single
level, since separate structures agreeing on one price is what a real zone looks like.
These are reference levels, not entry signals. Use them alongside higher timeframe structure, and
apply your own confirmation and risk management.
DISCLAIMER
This indicator is a level detection tool. It is not financial advice and it makes no claim about
profitability. Trading involves risk. Always apply your own analysis and risk management. Indicator
Quasimodo Reversal Zones [AGPro Series]Quasimodo Reversal Zones
🔹 OVERVIEW
Quasimodo Reversal Zones is a focused Smart Money Concepts tool built around one specific idea: the Quasimodo reversal pattern.
Instead of turning the chart into a crowded market-structure dashboard, this script identifies confirmed QM swing sequences, marks the original shoulder-derived QM level, projects a clean reaction zone, and tracks the invalidation threshold from the head.
The goal is simple: help traders see where a valid Quasimodo structure formed, where price may revisit the QM level, whether the reaction zone is active, and when the structure has failed.
It is designed as a premium public-free AGPro tool for traders who want a clean, visual, and selective Quasimodo framework without generic signal clutter.
🔹 WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT
Most reversal tools try to detect too many patterns at the same time. They often combine double tops, double bottoms, head and shoulders, order blocks, BOS, CHOCH, liquidity sweeps, and support/resistance zones into one heavy overlay.
Quasimodo Reversal Zones stays intentionally narrow.
Its only job is to map Quasimodo reversal structures with quality scoring, reaction-zone tracking, and invalidation logic. This makes the script easier to read, easier to trust visually, and more useful as a dedicated QM layer inside a larger trading workflow.
The script also avoids marking every small pivot as a pattern. A valid QM structure must pass multiple filters:
- confirmed swing sequence,
- meaningful head extension,
- displacement beyond the pullback swing,
- minimum spacing between pivots,
- swing amplitude quality,
- time-balance evaluation,
- optional relative-volume participation.
This gives the tool a more selective and professional feel than simple pivot-label scripts.
🧭 WHY THIS DOES NOT OVERLAP WITH OTHER AGPRO TOOLS
This script was designed to stay in a very specific lane inside the AGPro Series catalog.
It is not a broad reversal-pattern scanner.
It is not a BOS or CHOCH dashboard.
It is not an order block tool.
It is not a generic support/resistance zone engine.
It is not a liquidity sweep module.
Its focus is the Quasimodo pattern only.
The visual logic is built around four QM-specific components:
- the shoulder,
- the head,
- the QM level,
- the reaction zone with invalidation.
That narrow structure keeps the tool differentiated from broader AGPro pattern, breakout, structure, and zone-based scripts while still giving traders a strong SMC-style visual experience.
⚙️ METHODOLOGY
The script uses confirmed swing pivots to build a four-step Quasimodo sequence.
For a bullish QM structure, the script looks for:
- an initial swing low,
- a swing high,
- a lower low that forms the head,
- a higher high that confirms the sequence break.
For a bearish QM structure, the script looks for:
- an initial swing high,
- a swing low,
- a higher high that forms the head,
- a lower low that confirms the sequence break.
After the sequence is confirmed, the original shoulder becomes the QM level. A compact ATR-based reaction box is projected around that level. The head becomes the invalidation reference, with optional ATR padding.
The quality score is built from:
- head extension strength,
- sequence-break displacement,
- spacing between pivots,
- average swing size,
- internal time balance,
- optional relative-volume confirmation.
Only structures that meet the selected score threshold are drawn on the chart.
📊 PANEL
The AGPro panel summarizes the latest valid QM structure in a compact format.
Panel fields:
- Pattern Side
- Structure Quality
- Zone Status
- Score
The first panel row follows the AGPro standard: one merged blue header row containing only the script name.
Panel location, panel theme, and panel font size are adjustable from settings. The default panel size is Normal for a clean publication-ready layout.
🎛️ KEY INPUTS
Swing Pivot Length
Controls how strict the confirmed swing structure should be. Higher values create fewer but cleaner patterns.
ATR Normalization Length
Used to normalize zone width, head extension, sequence displacement, label offset, and invalidation padding.
Minimum Head Extension
Defines how far the head must extend beyond the original shoulder before the sequence can qualify.
Minimum Sequence Break
Defines how strongly the final swing must break beyond the pullback level.
Minimum Pattern Score
Filters out weaker QM sequences before they are drawn.
Signal Cooldown Bars
Controls label density and prevents the chart from becoming overloaded on noisy markets.
Reaction Zone Width
Controls the ATR-based thickness of the projected QM reaction box.
Reaction Zone Length
Controls how far the reaction zone projects into the future.
Invalidation Buffer
Adds optional ATR padding beyond the head-based invalidation level.
Maximum Visible QM Zones
Limits how many recent QM zones remain visible on the chart.
Label Font Size and Panel Font Size
Both are adjustable, with Normal as the default setting.
🔍 HOW TO READ IT
Start with the panel.
Pattern Side shows whether the latest valid structure is bullish or bearish.
Structure Quality gives a quick qualitative view of the setup.
Zone Status shows whether the reaction zone is waiting, active, confirmed, or invalidated.
Score shows the numerical strength of the latest accepted QM pattern.
On the chart:
- Shoulder marks the original level that later becomes the QM reference.
- Head marks the extension that creates the imbalance.
- QM Level marks the precise shoulder-derived reaction level.
- Reaction Zone shows the area where the QM retest is being tracked.
- Invalidation Line shows where the structure is no longer valid.
- Status Label shows the live state of the latest zone.
The cleanest reads usually come when price returns to the reaction zone after a strong sequence break and then shows a visible response away from the QM level.
🧩 BEST USE CASES
This script is best used for:
- SMC-style Quasimodo analysis,
- swing-based reversal mapping,
- reaction-zone planning,
- invalidation-based structure review,
- higher-timeframe QM context,
- clean chart screenshots for public analysis,
- traders who want one dedicated QM layer instead of a large all-in-one structure scanner.
It can be useful on many markets and timeframes, but the best visual quality usually appears on charts where swings are clear and price action is not excessively compressed.
🧠 VISUAL DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
The visual design is built around clarity, not clutter.
The script uses the AGPro color palette with a restrained premium look:
- blue merged panel header,
- teal bullish structures,
- pink bearish structures,
- gold invalidation or inactive-state emphasis,
- compact labels placed away from candles where possible,
- projected boxes that stay readable without covering the chart.
The chart should not feel empty, but it should also not feel noisy. Labels, zones, and status elements are intentionally controlled with cooldowns, maximum visible zones, adjustable offsets, and configurable font sizes.
The goal is to make the QM story easy to understand at first glance.
🔔 ALERTS
The script includes alerts for important QM events:
- Bullish Quasimodo Sequence
- Bearish Quasimodo Sequence
- QM Reaction Zone Touched
- QM Reaction Confirmed
- QM Pattern Invalidated
These alerts are designed around structure events rather than generic entry messages.
🔹 LIMITATIONS AND TRANSPARENCY
This script uses confirmed pivots, so patterns are confirmed only after enough bars have passed to validate the swing structure.
It is intentionally selective. Some early or aggressive QM ideas may not appear if they fail the pivot, spacing, displacement, or score requirements.
The script is not designed to predict every reversal. It is designed to identify cleaner Quasimodo structures, display the relevant reaction zone, and provide a clear invalidation reference.
It also does not attempt to replace broader market analysis. Trend context, volatility, liquidity conditions, and higher-timeframe structure can still matter.
✅ IDEAL USER
This script is ideal for traders who:
- understand basic SMC and price-action concepts,
- want a clean Quasimodo-specific tool,
- prefer visual structure over signal spam,
- care about invalidation and reaction-zone logic,
- want a focused public-free AGPro tool that does not overlap with broader reversal scanners,
- value a premium chart presentation with adjustable labels, zones, and panel controls.
Quasimodo Reversal Zones is built for traders who want the QM pattern to be visible, structured, and easy to evaluate without adding unnecessary market-structure clutter. Indicator
Quasimodo Pattern Strategy Back Test [TradingFinder] QM Trading🔵 Introduction
The QM pattern, also known as the Quasimodo pattern, is one of the popular patterns in price action, and it is often used by technical analysts. The QM pattern is used to identify trend reversals and provides a very good risk-to-reward ratio. One of the advantages of the QM pattern is its high frequency and visibility in charts.
Additionally, due to its strength, it is highly profitable, and as mentioned, its risk-to-reward ratio is very good. The QM pattern is highly popular among traders in supply and demand, and traders also use this pattern.
The Price Action QM pattern, like other Price Action patterns, has two types: Bullish QM and Bearish QM patterns. To identify this pattern, you need to be familiar with its types to recognize it.
🔵 Identifying the QM Pattern
🟣 Bullish QM
In the bullish QM pattern, as you can see in the image below, an LL and HH are formed. As you can see, the neckline is marked as a dashed line. When the price reaches this range, it will start its upward movement.
🟣 Bearish QM
The Price Action QM pattern also has a bearish pattern. As you can see in the image below, initially, an HH and LL are formed. The neckline in this image is the dashed line, and when the LL is formed, the price reaches this neckline. However, it cannot pass it, and the downward trend resumes.
🔵 How to Use
The Quasimodo pattern is one of the clearest structures used to identify market reversals. It is built around the concept of a structural break followed by a pullback into an area of trapped liquidity. Instead of relying on lagging indicators, this pattern focuses purely on price action and how the market reacts after exhausting one side of liquidity. When understood correctly, it provides traders with precise entry points at the transition between trend phases.
🟣 Bullish Quasimodo
A bullish Quasimodo forms after a clear downtrend when sellers start losing control. The market continues to make lower lows until a sudden higher high appears, signaling that buyers are entering with strength. Price then pulls back to retest the previous low, creating what is known as the Quasimodo low.
This area often becomes the final trap for sellers before the market shifts upward. A visible rejection or displacement from this zone confirms bullish momentum. Traders usually place entries near this level, stops below the low, and targets at previous highs or the next resistance zone. Combining the setup with demand zones or Fair Value Gaps increases its accuracy.
🟣 Bearish Quasimodo
A bearish Quasimodo forms near the top of an uptrend when buyers begin to lose strength. The market continues to make higher highs until a sudden lower low breaks the bullish structure, showing that selling pressure is entering the market. Price then retraces upward to retest the previous high, forming the Quasimodo high, where breakout buyers are often trapped.
Once rejection appears at this level, it indicates a likely reversal. Traders can enter short near this area, with stop-losses placed above the high and targets near the next support or previous lows. The setup gains more reliability when aligned with supply zones, SMT divergence, or bearish Fair Value Gaps.
🔵 Setting
Pivot Period : You can use this parameter to use your desired period to identify the QM pattern. By default, this parameter is set to the number 5.
Take Profit Mode : You can choose your desired Take Profit in three ways. Based on the logic of the QM strategy, you can select two Take Profit levels, TP1 and TP2. You can also choose your take profit based on the Reward to Risk ratio. You must enter your desired R/R in the Reward to Risk Ratio parameter.
Stop Loss Refine : The loss limit of the QM strategy is based on its logic on the Head pattern. You can refine it using the ATR Refine option to prevent Stop Hunt. You can enter your desired coefficient in the Stop Loss ATR Adjustment Coefficient parameter.
Reward to Risk Ratio : If you set Take Profit Mode to R/R, you must enter your desired R/R here. For example, if your loss limit is 10 pips and you set R/R to 2, your take profit will be reached when the price is 20 pips away from your entry point.
Stop Loss ATR Adjustment Coefficient : If you set Stop Loss Refine to ATR Refine, you must adjust your loss limit coefficient here. For example, if your buy position's loss limit is at the price of 1000, and your ATR is 10, if you set Stop Loss ATR Adjustment Coefficient to 2, your loss limit will be at the price of 980.
Entry Level Validity : Determines how long the Entry level remains valid. The higher the level, the longer the entry level will remain valid. By default it is 2 and it can be set between 2 and 15.

QM Signal [TradingFinder] Quasimodo Pattern - Head and Shoulders🔵 Introduction
One of the patterns in "RTM" is the "QM" pattern, also known as "Quasimodo". Its name is derived from the appearance of "Hunchback of Notre-Dame" from Victor Hugo's novel. It is a type of "Head and Shoulders" pattern.
🔵 Formation Method
🟣 Upward Trend
In an upward trend, the left shoulder is formed, and the price creates a new peak higher than the left shoulder peak . After a decline, it manages to break the previous low and move upward again. We expect the price to return approximately between and to form the "QM" pattern.
🟣 Downward Trend
In a downward trend, with a price decline, a new valley is created, forming the left shoulder, and the price forms a new valley lower than the left shoulder valley . After a price increase, it manages to break the previous high and move downward again. We expect the price to return approximately between and to form the "Quasimodo" pattern.
Note: The "QM" pattern is a specific type of head and shoulders pattern in which in the first move, the previous support is broken and it's the best condition for price reversal.
🔵 Entry Conditions for "Buy" and "Sell"
🟢 Buy
Buy Position : When a complete "QM" pattern is formed in a downtrend; we expect the price to reach the left shoulder area (with confirmation) during the retracement to enter the "BUY" position.
Profit Target in Buy Scenario : Expecting a move to the peak that broke it and the highest point in the current "Swing".
Stop Loss : Below the "Head," which is the lowest point.
🔴 Sell
Sell Position : When a "QM" pattern is formed in an uptrend, we look for entry into the "Sell" position as the price retraces to the left shoulder area.
Profit Target in Sell Scenario : Expecting a move to the price floor that has been broken and the entire "Swing" or .
Take Profit : Above the highest point or above the area will be the "SL" region.
Note : Certainly, no method alone guarantees trading capability and requires different confirmations. This indicator only detects the "QM" pattern, and the rest of the analysis will be the responsibility of the user.
Note : These profit and loss limits are based on market movements and will be provided as approximate and supportive.
