[TehThomas] - Aligned Timeframe Fair Value Gaps█ OVERVIEW
This indicator automatically detects and displays Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) from higher timeframes on your current chart, following ICT (Inner Circle Trader) methodology. It intelligently selects the optimal higher timeframe based on your current chart timeframe and tracks both filled and unfilled gaps with full visual customization, including dynamic shrinking gaps and midline references.
█ KEY FEATURES
✓ Automatic Timeframe Alignment
- Intelligently selects higher timeframe based on current chart (1min→15min, 5min→1H, 1H→Daily, etc.)
- Uses confirmed/closed HTF bars only for reliable gap detection
- Displays timeframe label on each FVG box for clarity
✓ Dynamic Gap Management
- Optional dynamic (shrinking) gaps that contract as price fills them partially
- Automatic removal when gaps are fully filled by price
- Tracks up to 200 historical FVGs with intelligent visibility management
✓ Advanced Display Controls
- Show only unfilled gaps (reduces chart clutter)
- Configurable box extension length into future bars
- Optional midline display with customizable style (solid/dashed/dotted)
- Fully customizable colors for bullish/bearish gaps, borders, and labels
█ HOW IT WORKS
The indicator monitors the aligned higher timeframe and detects three-candle patterns where price creates an imbalance, areas where aggressive buying or selling left gaps that were never properly filled. When a bullish FVG forms (gap between HTF bar lows and highs), it indicates rapid upward price movement that skipped price levels, creating a zone where price may return to seek "fair value". Bearish FVGs work inversely, forming during aggressive downward moves.
The indicator places boxes starting from where the gap actually formed (2 HTF bars ago) and extends them forward. As new bars form, it continuously checks if price has entered or filled each gap. In dynamic mode, gaps shrink in real-time as price partially fills them. The visibility system ensures only the most recent unfilled gaps are displayed, keeping your chart clean while maintaining historical data.
█ SETTINGS
Boxes Group:
- Extend boxes: Number of bars to project gaps into the future (default: 20)
- Min Gap Size (%): Minimum percentage size to filter small/noise gaps (default: 0%)
- Dynamic (shrinking) gaps: Enable gaps to shrink as price fills them partially
- Max Unfilled Gaps to Display: Limit visible unfilled gaps on chart (default: 10)
- Max FVGs in History: Total gaps stored in memory for tracking (50-200, affects performance)
Colors Group:
- Bullish Gap Color: Fill color for bullish FVGs
- Bearish Gap Color: Fill color for bearish FVGs
- Gap Border Color: Border color for all gap boxes
Midline Group:
- Show Midline: Display 50% level line through each gap
- Midline Color: Color of the midline
- Midline Style: Visual style (Solid/Dashed/Dotted)
Label Group:
- Show FVG Label: Display timeframe label on each gap box
- Label Text Color: Color of label text
- Label Size: Text size (Tiny/Small/Normal/Large)
█ HOW TO USE
1. Apply to any timeframe - The indicator automatically selects the appropriate higher timeframe for analysis
2. Identify imbalance zones - FVG boxes show areas where price moved too quickly, creating inefficiency that often acts as a magnet for future price action
3. Use for retracement entries - Wait for price to return to an unfilled FVG after a Break of Structure (BOS) or Market Structure Shift (MSS) for high-probability entry zones
4. Watch midlines - The 50% level of each gap often provides the strongest reaction point
5. Monitor gap filling - When gaps are filled, they signal that the imbalance has been resolved; dynamic mode shows partial fills in real-time
█ TRADING STRATEGY EXAMPLES
Trend Continuation Strategy:
After a strong bullish move creates multiple bullish FVGs, wait for price to retrace into the nearest unfilled FVG, then enter long positions expecting continuation. The FVG acts as a support zone where institutional buyers may re-enter.
Confluence Trading:
Combine FVGs with other ICT concepts like Order Blocks, liquidity grabs, or Premium/Discount zones. The strongest setups occur when an FVG aligns with multiple confluence factors, increasing probability of successful retracement entries.
Breakout Confirmation:
After a Break of Structure, look for price to return to the FVG created during the breakout candle. This retest provides a lower-risk entry point with clear invalidation levels (below/above the gap).
█ IDEAL FOR
- ICT (Inner Circle Trader) methodology practitioners
- Smart Money Concepts (SMC) traders seeking institutional footprints
- Multi-timeframe analysis traders who want higher timeframe context on lower timeframe charts
- Price action traders focusing on supply-demand imbalances
- Swing and intraday traders seeking high-probability retracement zones
- Traders who value clean, organized chart visualization with controlled gap display
█ TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
- Pine Script Version: 6
- Chart Type: Overlay indicator
- Maximum Boxes: 500
- Maximum Lines: 500 (for midlines)
- Lookback Period: 2000 bars
- HTF Data: Uses confirmed/closed bars with lookahead to avoid repainting
- Memory Management: Stores up to 200 historical FVGs with intelligent visibility control
- Update Frequency: Real-time gap tracking and dynamic adjustment on every bar
█ NOTES & DISCLAIMERS
- FVGs represent areas of price imbalance, not guaranteed reversal or continuation zones
- Higher timeframe gaps may take significant time to be filled or may never fill in strong trending markets
- Dynamic gaps provide visual feedback but increase computational load; disable for better performance on slower devices
- Max history setting affects performance: higher values enable more unfilled gaps but require more processing power

Market Structure Dashboard | Flux ChartsGENERAL OVERVIEW
Market Structure Dashboard is a multi-timeframe market structure analysis indicator. It combines EMA trend detection, swing high/low tracking, market structure labels, Order Block detection, Fair Value Gap detection, liquidity sweep detection, volume analysis, volatility analysis, trading sessions, ICT killzones, a weighted trend bias system, and HTF levels into one unified dashboard. Each component is calculated independently across up to 7 configurable timeframes and displayed together in a single organized view.
(Screenshot: Full dashboard overview - all sections visible)
(Screenshot: Dashboard on a busy chart showing OB/FVG boxes, swing labels, HTF lines)
WHAT IS THE THEORY BEHIND THIS INDICATOR?
The core idea is that a trade setup becomes more reliable when multiple timeframes agree on direction. A bullish signal on a 5-minute chart carries more weight when the 15-minute, 1-hour, and daily timeframes also show bullish conditions. Analyzing each timeframe separately is both time-consuming and prone to error. The Market Structure Dashboard automates this process by calculating key metrics across all enabled timeframes and presenting them side by side.
The indicator draws from two established trading methodologies. Smart Money Concepts (SMC) focuses on identifying institutional footprints in price action through patterns like Order Blocks, Fair Value Gaps, and liquidity sweeps. Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodology emphasizes time-based analysis through specific trading windows called killzones and the importance of previous day, week, and month highs and lows.
Rather than treating these concepts in isolation, the dashboard organizes them into a layered framework. Structure shows where the market has been. Zones show where it may react. Sessions and killzones show when activity tends to increase. The trend bias system combines all factors into a single weighted score, giving traders a quick read on overall market sentiment across timeframes.
The purpose of the Market Structure Dashboard is to present the current market activity across multiple timeframes and how these conditions relate to earlier market structure, volume, and timing.

Dashboard Customization
Each component operates independently while sharing the same underlying market structure logic. All features are calculated across up to 7 user-configurable timeframes and displayed in a unified dashboard. Detailed explanations for each component are provided in the sections that follow.
EMA TREND DETECTION
🔹 What is an EMA?
An Exponential Moving Average (EMA) is a type of moving average that gives more weight to recent price data. Unlike a Simple Moving Average that weights all prices equally, the EMA responds faster to recent price changes while still considering historical data. Traders use EMAs to identify trend direction and dynamic support/resistance levels.
When price trades above the EMA, the short-term trend is considered bullish. When price trades below the EMA, the short-term trend is considered bearish. The distance between price and EMA can indicate trend strength, with larger distances suggesting stronger momentum.
🔹 How the Indicator Uses EMA
The dashboard calculates a 9-period EMA (configurable) for each enabled timeframe. The EMA Trend column displays both direction and distance.
◇ Direction is shown with an up arrow (↑) when price is above EMA, or a down arrow (↓) when price is below EMA.
◇ Distance is displayed as percentage, price, or pips based on the Distance Display setting. For example, "+0.45% ↑" means price is 0.45% above the EMA on that timeframe.
◇ Color coding shows green when price is above EMA (bullish) and red when price is below EMA (bearish).
The EMA can optionally be plotted as a visual overlay on the chart. It can also be included as a factor in the Trend Bias calculation, where each timeframe's EMA direction contributes to the overall bias score.
(Screenshot: EMA column showing bearish readings - red, ↓)
SWING HIGH/LOW TRACKING
🔹 What are Swing Highs and Lows?
A swing high is a price peak where a candle's high is higher than the highs of surrounding candles. A swing low is a price trough where a candle's low is lower than the lows of surrounding candles. These points represent short-term reversals and define the boundaries of price movement.
Swing points are foundational to market structure analysis. Breaking a swing high suggests bullish momentum. Breaking a swing low suggests bearish momentum. The sequence of swing points creates market structure patterns that reveal trend direction.
🔹 How the Indicator Tracks Swing Highs/Lows?
The indicator detects swing points using a configurable Swing Length parameter (default: 5). A swing high is confirmed when a candle's high is higher than the specified number of candles on both sides. A swing low is confirmed when a candle's low is lower than the specified number of candles on both sides. This confirmation requirement means swing points are identified with a delay, ensuring they are valid pivots rather than temporary spikes. This same Swing Length setting is also used by Order Block detection and Market Structure labels, so adjusting it affects all three features.
◇ The Swing H/L column displays a visual position indicator showing where price sits within the current swing range. A dot moves along a bar between L (swing low) and H (swing high) to show exact position.
◇ When price breaks outside the range, arrows indicate the direction. An up arrow (↑) appears when price breaks above the swing high. A swing high break indicates that buyers have pushed price beyond the previous peak, suggesting bullish momentum and a potential continuation higher.
(Screenshot: Price above Swing High)
A down arrow (↓) appears when price breaks below the swing low. A swing low break indicates that sellers have pushed price beyond the previous trough, suggesting bearish momentum and a potential continuation lower
(Screenshot: Price breaks Swing Low)
When a liquidity sweep occurs (price breaks a level then reclaims it), special arrows appear: ⤴ for a swept and reclaimed low, ⤵ for a swept and reclaimed high. A swept and reclaimed swing means price broke beyond the level, likely triggering stop-loss orders resting beyond it, but then reversed back inside the range. This suggests the breakout was a false move and the opposite direction may follow. Liquidity sweeps are explained in detail in the Liquidity Sweep & Reclaim Detection section below.
◇ Color coding shows green when price is in the lower half of the range or breaks above the swing high, and red when price is in the upper half or breaks below the swing low.
(Screenshot)
◇ Tooltips provide additional context when hovering over any Swing H/L cell, such as "Price is nearing swing low on 15M" or "Price above swing high on 1H - swing high broken."
MARKET STRUCTURE LABELS (HH/HL/LH/LL)
🔹 What is Market Structure?
Market structure refers to the pattern of swing highs and swing lows that price creates over time. By comparing consecutive swing points, each new swing can be classified into one of four types.
◇ HH (Higher High): A swing high that is higher than the previous swing high, indicating bullish momentum.
◇ HL (Higher Low): A swing low that is higher than the previous swing low, indicating bullish momentum.
◇ LH (Lower High): A swing high that is lower than the previous swing high, indicating bearish momentum.
◇ LL (Lower Low): A swing low that is lower than the previous swing low, indicating bearish momentum.
(Screenshot: Bullish and Bearish Swing Points)
Bullish structure consists of HH and HL patterns, where price makes higher highs and higher lows. Bearish structure consists of LH and LL patterns, where price makes lower highs and lower lows. Mixed structure contains conflicting patterns and indicates consolidation or potential trend change.
🔹 How the Indicator Displays Market Structure
The Structure column shows the last three structure labels in sequence along with an overall bias arrow.
◇ "LL-LH-HL →" indicates mixed structure with no clear direction.
◇ "HH-HL-HH ↑" indicates bullish structure with higher highs and higher lows.
◇ "LH-LL-LH ↓" indicates bearish structure with lower highs and lower lows.
(Screenshot: Dashboard showing neutral, bearish and bullish indication across different timeframes)
The indicator tracks each new swing point as it forms, compares it to the previous swing of the same type, and assigns the appropriate label. Market Structure labels use the same Swing Length setting as Swing High/Low tracking, so both features stay synchronized. Structure bias is determined by the most recent high type and low type combined. If the last swing high was HH and the last swing low was HL, bias is bullish. If the last swing high was LH and the last swing low was LL, bias is bearish. Any other combination shows neutral.
Color coding shows green for bullish structure, red for bearish structure, and gray for mixed or neutral structure.
ORDER BLOCK DETECTION
🔹 What is an Order Block?
An Order Block is a concept from Smart Money analysis representing a candle or consolidation area where institutional orders may have been placed. In SMC methodology, Order Blocks are identified as the last opposing candle before a significant price move that breaks market structure.
◇ A Bullish Order Block is the last bearish candle before a rally that breaks a swing high. When price returns to this zone, it may find support.
◇ A Bearish Order Block is the last bullish candle before a drop that breaks a swing low. When price returns to this zone, it may find resistance.
Order Blocks are considered "mitigated" when price trades completely through them, suggesting the institutional orders have been filled.
🔹 How the Indicator Detects Order Blocks
The detection algorithm follows a specific sequence to identify valid Order Blocks.
◇ Step 1: The indicator tracks swing highs and swing lows using the configured Swing Length setting (shared with Swing High/Low tracking and Market Structure labels).
◇ Step 2: When price breaks above a swing high, the indicator identifies a bullish breakout. When price breaks below a swing low, it identifies a bearish breakout.
◇ Step 3: For a bullish Order Block, the indicator finds the candle with the lowest low between the broken swing high and the current bar. For a bearish Order Block, it finds the candle with the highest high between the broken swing low and the current bar.
◇ Step 4: The Order Block zone is created spanning from that candle's low to its high.
◇ Step 5: Mitigation is applied when price closes through the Order Block. Bullish OBs are mitigated when price closes below the zone. Bearish OBs are mitigated when price closes above the zone.
The Order Block column shows the nearest unmitigated Order Block for each timeframe. "IN BULL OB ↑" means price is currently inside a bullish Order Block. "BULL OB (5.4%) ↑" means the nearest OB is bullish and 5.5% away. "NONE" means no unmitigated Order Blocks exist on that timeframe.
(Screenshot: Nearest order block is Bull OB)
(Screenshot: Price in Bear OB)
FAIR VALUE GAP DETECTION
🔹What is a Fair Value Gap?
A Fair Value Gap (FVG), also called an imbalance, is a three-candle pattern where a gap exists between the first and third candle that the middle candle did not fill. This gap represents an area where price moved quickly, creating an imbalance in the market.
◇ A Bullish FVG forms when the first candle's high is lower than the third candle's low, creating an upward gap. When price returns to this gap, it may find support.
◇ A Bearish FVG forms when the first candle's low is higher than the third candle's high, creating a downward gap. When price returns to this gap, it may find resistance.
FVGs are considered mitigated when price wicks into the gap, filling the inefficiency.
🔹 How the Indicator Detects FVGs
The detection logic checks for the three-candle gap pattern with specific conditions.
◇ For a Bullish FVG, the current candle's low must be above the candle from three bars ago's high (gap exists), and the middle candle must be bullish (displacement candle).
◇ For a Bearish FVG, the current candle's high must be below the candle from three bars ago's low (gap exists), and the middle candle must be bearish (displacement candle).
◇ The FVG zone spans from the gap's bottom to its top.
◇ Mitigation occurs when price wicks below the gap bottom for bullish FVGs, or above the gap top for bearish FVGs. Note that FVG mitigation is more sensitive than Order Block mitigation.
FVGs only need a wick to touch them, while Order Blocks require a close through them.
The FVG column displays similarly to Order Blocks. "IN BULL FVG ↑" means price is inside a bullish Fair Value Gap. "BULL FVG (0.2%) ↑" means the nearest FVG is bullish and 0.2% away. "NONE" means no unmitigated FVGs exist on that timeframe.
(Screenshot: Price in Bull FVG)
(Screenshot: Bear FVG +3.4% away)
LIQUIDITY SWEEP & RECLAIM DETECTION
🔹 What is a Liquidity Sweep?
Liquidity refers to resting orders in the market, particularly stop-loss orders. Traders commonly place stops just beyond swing highs and swing lows, creating pools of liquidity at these levels. A liquidity sweep occurs when price breaks beyond a swing point, potentially triggering stops, but then reverses and closes back inside the range.
◇ A Bullish Liquidity Sweep occurs when price breaks below a swing low, then reverses and closes back above it. This pattern suggests potential buying interest after weak hands have been stopped out.
◇ A Bearish Liquidity Sweep occurs when price breaks above a swing high, then reverses and closes back below it. This pattern suggests potential selling interest after weak hands have been stopped out.
🔹 How the Indicator Detects Liquidity Sweeps
The indicator tracks whether each swing level has been broken and then reclaimed.
◇ A swing low is marked as broken when price trades below it. A swing high is marked as broken when price trades above it.
◇ A reclaim is detected when price closes back above a broken swing low (bullish) or back below a broken swing high (bearish).
◇ The break and reclaim flags reset when a new swing point forms, ensuring fresh detection for each level.
When a liquidity sweep is detected, the Swing H/L column displays special indicators. The ⤴ symbol indicates a bullish liquidity sweep where price swept the low and reclaimed. The ⤵ symbol indicates a bearish liquidity sweep where price swept the high and reclaimed. Tooltips provide additional context such as "Liquidity sweep - price swept swing low and reclaimed on 15M."

VOLUME ANALYSIS
🔹 What is Volume Analysis?
Volume represents the number of shares, contracts, or units traded during a given period. High volume suggests strong interest and participation behind a price move. Low volume suggests weak interest and moves may lack follow-through. Comparing current volume to average volume helps identify unusual activity.
🔹 How the Indicator Analyzes Volume The dashboard calculates current volume as a percentage of its 20-period simple moving average.
◇ The Volume column displays a visual bar using filled and empty blocks to represent volume level relative to average.
◇ Volume states are classified as EXTREME (over 200% of average), HIGH (over 120%), NORMAL (over 80%), LOW (over 50%), or VERY LOW (50% or less).
(Screenshot: Extreme Volume)
◇ Color coding shows yellow for extreme volume, orange for high volume, and gray for normal, low, and very low.
◇ Tooltips show the exact percentage, such as "Volume is currently at 145% of average."
VOLATILITY ANALYSIS
🔹 What is Volatility?
Volatility measures how much price fluctuates over a given period. High volatility means large price swings. Low volatility means small price movements. The Average True Range (ATR) is a common volatility measure that calculates the average of true ranges over a period.
🔹 How the Indicator Measures Volatility
The dashboard calculates a 14-period ATR and compares it to its own 20-period average (configurable).
◇ The Volatility column displays the current state as HIGH (ATR over 130% of average), NORMAL (ATR between 70-130% of average), or LOW (ATR under 70% of average).
◇ Color coding shows red for high volatility, gray for normal, and green for low volatility.
◇ Tooltips provide context such as "Volatility is currently high" or "Volatility is currently low."
Low volatility often precedes significant moves, making it a useful setup indicator when combined with price at key levels.
(Screenshot: High Volatility)
TRADING SESSIONS
🔹 What are Trading Sessions?
Financial markets have varying activity levels throughout the day. Trading is typically divided into three major sessions based on which financial centers are open.
◇ Asian Session runs from 7:00 PM to 3:00 AM EST. It is characterized by generally lower volatility and ranging price action
◇ London Session runs from 3:00 AM to 12:00 PM EST. It is characterized by higher volatility and trending moves
◇ New York Session runs from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM EST. It has high volatility especially during the London overlap from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM EST, affecting USD pairs and all majors.
🔹 How the Indicator Displays Sessions
The Session column shows the current session name in the first row as ASIAN, LONDON, NEW YORK, or OFF HOURS (between sessions from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM EST).
◇ The second row shows a progress bar that fills as the session advances, with each block representing approximately one hour.
◇ Sessions are color-coded as blue for Asian, green for London, orange for New York, and gray for off hours. These colors can be customized in the settings
◇ The indicator uses New York (EST) timezone for all session calculations and includes replay mode support.
(Asian Session and Killzone)
ICT KILLZONES
🔹 What are Killzones?
Killzones are specific time windows within each trading session when market activity tends to be higher. These windows are derived from ICT (Inner Circle Trader) methodology and represent times when significant moves are more likely to occur.
◇ Asian Killzone runs from 8:00 PM to 12:00 AM EST and often sets the initial range for the day.
◇ London Killzone runs from 2:00 AM to 5:00 AM EST and covers the London open when major moves are common.
◇ New York AM Killzone runs from 9:30 AM to 11:00 AM EST and covers the NYSE open, a high volume period.
◇ New York Lunch runs from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM EST and typically has lower activity and consolidation.
◇ New York PM Killzone runs from 1:30 PM to 4:00 PM EST when afternoon continuation moves occur.
🔹 How the Indicator Displays Killzones
The Killzone column shows the current killzone in the first row as ASIAN KZ, LONDON KZ, NY AM KZ, NY LUNCH, NY PM KZ, or NO KILLZONE when outside all killzones.
◇ When outside a killzone, the second row shows a countdown to the next killzone, such as "NY AM KZ in 2h:15m."
◇ Killzones are color-coded as blue for Asian, green for London, orange for NY AM, gray for NY Lunch, and purple for NY PM. These colors can be customized in the settings
TREND BIAS SYSTEM
🔹 What is Trend Bias?
The Trend Bias System aggregates multiple factors across all enabled timeframes to produce a single directional bias score. Instead of analyzing each factor and timeframe separately, this system provides a weighted summary of overall market sentiment.
🔹 How the Indicator Calculates Trend Bias The calculation involves three components working together.
(Screenshot: BTC Bearish Trend)
◇ Factors determine what contributes to bias. Users can enable or disable Structure (market structure bias), Order Block (direction of nearest OB), FVG (direction of nearest FVG), EMA Trend (price position relative to EMA), and Swing Position (where price sits in the swing range). Each enabled factor contributes +1 for bullish, -1 for bearish, or 0 for neutral per timeframe.
◇ Weights determine how much each timeframe matters. Each timeframe has a configurable weight from 0 to 10. Default weights are 1 for 1M and 5M, 2 for 15M, 1H, and 4H, 3 for Daily, and 4 for Weekly. Higher weights mean that timeframe contributes more to the final score.
(Screenshot: Gold Bullish Trend)
◇ Score Calculation combines factors and weights. For each active timeframe, the sum of factor scores is multiplied by the timeframe's weight. The total score is the sum of all timeframe scores. The maximum possible score is the sum of each weight multiplied by the number of enabled factors. The bias percentage equals the total score divided by the maximum possible score, multiplied by 100.
◇ Bias Labels are assigned based on percentage. Over 50% shows BULLISH ↑. Between 20% and 50% shows LEAN BULL ↑. Between -20% and 20% shows NEUTRAL →. Between -50% and -20% shows LEAN BEAR ↓. Below -50% shows BEARISH ↓.
The Trend Bias column displays the bias label in the first row and the raw score in the second row, such as "+22/60" meaning 22 points out of 60 possible.
HTF LEVELS (PDH/L, PWH/L, PMH/L)
🔹 What are HTF Levels?
Higher Timeframe (HTF) Levels are significant price points from previous completed periods. These levels represent clear, objective reference points that many traders watch.
◇ PDH/PDL (Previous Day High/Low) are the high and low of the previous completed trading day and act as intraday support and resistance.
◇ PWH/PWL (Previous Week High/Low) are the high and low of the previous completed week and are significant levels for swing trading.
◇ PMH/PML (Previous Month High/Low) are the high and low of the previous completed month and are major levels for position trading.
🔹 How the Indicator Displays HTF Levels The HTF Levels Dashboard section (optional) shows a swing-style position bar for each enabled level, displaying where price sits within the previous day, week, or month range.
◇ The same liquidity sweep detection applies to HTF levels. If price sweeps PDL and reclaims, the ⤴ indicator appears.
(Screenshot: Previous Week Low Swept)
◇ Visual overlays can plot HTF level lines on the chart with customizable colors and line styles.
◇ When multiple levels are close together, labels automatically combine. For example, "PDH/PWH" appears when both levels are at similar prices, or "PDL/PWL/PML" when all three lows align.
(Screenshot: PWH/PMH labels combined when Previous Week Low and Previous Month Low align)
VISUAL OVERLAYS
Beyond the dashboard, the indicator offers optional visual overlays that plot directly on the price chart.
🔹 Order Block Zones
When enabled, Order Blocks appear as semi-transparent rectangular boxes. Green boxes represent bullish Order Blocks and red boxes represent bearish Order Blocks. Boxes span from the OB candle's low to its high and extend forward based on the Extend setting. Optional labels show "OB ↑" or "OB ↓" inside the zones.
🔹 FVG Zones
Fair Value Gaps appear as boxes with dashed borders to distinguish them from Order Blocks. Green dashed boxes represent bullish FVGs and red dashed boxes represent bearish FVGs. They share the same extend and label options as Order Blocks.
(Order Blocks & Fair Value Gaps)
🔹 Swing Labels
HH, HL, LH, and LL labels can be plotted directly at each swing point on the chart. Labels appear above swing highs and below swing lows. Green labels indicate bullish structure (HH, HL) and red labels indicate bearish structure (LH, LL). The Show Last setting controls how many labels appear.
🔹 Swing Lines
Horizontal lines can be drawn at the current swing high and swing low. A red line appears at the swing high and a green line at the swing low. Line styles are customizable as solid, dashed, or dotted.
(Swing Labels & Swing Lines)
🔹 HTF Level Lines
Horizontal lines can be plotted at Previous Day, Week, and Month highs and lows. Each level has a separate enable toggle with customizable colors and line styles. Labels auto-combine when levels are close together.
🔹 EMA Line
A standard EMA line can be plotted on the chart using the same EMA Length setting as the dashboard with customizable color.
DASHBOARD CUSTOMIZATION:
The dashboard is highly customizable to fit different trading styles and screen setups.

SETTINGS:
🔹 Timeframes
Configure which timeframes are analyzed in the dashboard. Enable toggles turn each of the 7 timeframes on or off. Timeframe selection sets the specific timeframe for each slot (1M, 5M, 15M, 1H, 4H, D, W, M, or custom). Trend weight controls how much each timeframe contributes to the overall bias calculation (0-10), with higher values giving that timeframe more influence.
🔹 Market Structure Dashboard
Controls the main multi-timeframe dashboard section. The enable toggle turns the entire section on or off. Column toggles allow you to show or hide individual columns: EMA Trend, Swing H/L, Structure, Order Block, and FVG. Disabling columns you don't need reduces visual clutter and focuses the dashboard on the information most relevant to your trading style.
🔹 Current Timeframe Dashboard
Controls the current chart timeframe section that displays volume, swing position, and volatility data. The enable toggle turns the entire section on or off. Column toggles allow you to show or hide individual columns: Volume, Swing H/L, and Volatility.
🔹 Market Context Dashboard
Controls the market context section that displays session, killzone, and trend bias information. The enable toggle turns the entire section on or off. Column toggles allow you to show or hide individual columns: Session, Killzone, and Trend Bias.
🔹 HTF Levels Dashboard
Controls the higher timeframe levels section that displays previous day, week, and month high/low data. The enable toggle turns the entire section on or off. Level toggles allow you to show or hide individual levels: PDH/L, PWH/L, and PMH/L.
🔹 Trend Bias Settings
Controls which factors contribute to the trend bias calculation. Factor toggles allow you to include or exclude Structure, Order Block, FVG, EMA Trend, and Swing H/L from the bias score. Disabling factors you don't find relevant customizes how the overall bias is determined.
🔹 Visual Overlays
Controls what is plotted directly on the price chart. Order Blocks and FVGs each have an enable toggle, bull/bear colors, show last count (how many zones to display), extend bars (how far zones project forward), and labels toggle. Swing Labels have an enable toggle, bull/bear colors, and show last count. Swing Lines have an enable toggle, high/low colors, line style (solid, dashed, dotted), and extend bars. HTF Level Lines for Previous Day, Week, and Month highs/lows each have an enable toggle, colors, and line style, with a shared extend setting for all HTF lines. EMA has an enable toggle and color setting.
🔹 General Settings
Core indicator parameters. EMA Length sets the period for EMA calculation (default 9). Swing Length sets how many bars are required to confirm a pivot and is used for Swing Point detection, Order Block detection, and Market Structure labels (default 5). Volatility Lookback sets the period for ATR averaging (default 20). Distance Display controls how distances are shown: Percent, Price, or Pips. Dashboard Position sets where the dashboard appears on the chart (9 options). Dashboard Theme switches between Dark Mode and Light Mode. Color settings allow customization of trend colors (bull, bear, neutral), session colors (Asian, London, NY), and killzone colors (Asian KZ, London KZ, NY AM, Lunch, PM).

(Customized Display)
UNIQUENESS:
The Market Structure Dashboard focuses on multi-timeframe confluence by calculating and displaying the same analytical components across up to 7 timeframes simultaneously. Unlike indicators that show one timeframe at a time, each row in the dashboard represents a complete analysis of that timeframe's structure, zones, and trend state. This allows traders to observe alignment, disagreement, and transitions across timeframes within a single view.
The weighted Trend Bias System combines structure, zones, EMA, and swing position into a single score that accounts for timeframe importance. Higher timeframes can be weighted more heavily, reflecting their greater significance in establishing overall market direction.
The dashboard also integrates time-based context through session and killzone tracking, helping traders identify when market conditions align with historically active trading windows. All components coexist without overriding each other, providing a comprehensive framework for multi-timeframe market structure analysis. Indicator
Gold Breakout Trader⚙️ Gold short-term entries off M1 timeframe every 2 hours every day with SL/TP targets.
📦 2-Hour Breakout Structure: The indicator plots a new set of dynamic zones every two hours, providing a fresh breakout structure based on the most recent price action. This is the default setting and is designed for intraday trading.
🎯 Precision Entry & Exit Levels: A central gray box is plotted, with Buy Stop and Sell Stop lines automatically placed 2 USD away from its borders. This buffer creates a neutral zone and helps filter out noise.
💰 Pre-Defined Profit Targets: Three Take Profit TP zones are plotted for both long and short trades TP1, TP2, TP3. These zones are spaced apart, providing clear targets for managing trades.
⚙️ Fully Customizable Spacing: Every element is adjustable. You can change the buffer between the gray box and stop lines, the gap between the stop lines and the first TP zone, and the gaps between each subsequent TP zone.
🔔 M1 Breakout Alerts: The indicator includes a powerful alerts module that triggers when an M1 candle closes above the Buy Stop level or below the Sell Stop level. This provides real-time notifications for potential trade entries.
🎨 Clean Visuals & Clear Labels: The zones are color-coded teal for buy-side, red/purple for sell-side for instant recognition. The Buy Stop and Sell Stop labels are also colored to match their respective directions, ensuring zero confusion.
⚙️ Trading Strategy & Logic
This strategy is designed for precision and requires patience. The core idea is to wait for the market to confirm a breakout of the established 2-hour range before entering a trade.
📌 Entry Logic
1. 🕒 Wait for a New Zone: Allow the indicator to plot a new 2-hour structure. Do not trade old or expired zones.
2. 🔔 Set Your Alerts: In PulseWire, create a new alert and select the indicator. For the condition, choose "Any alert() function call" and set it to trigger "Once Per Bar Close". This will notify you the moment a candle closes across a stop level.
3. 👀 Wait for the M1 Close: For a Long Buy Trade, wait for an M1 candle to close above the Buy Stop line. For a Short Sell Trade, wait for an M1 candle to close below the Sell Stop line.
4. ✅ Enter on Confirmation: Once you receive the alert and visually confirm the M1 candle has closed past the level, you can enter the trade.
🛑 Stop Loss SL Placement
The stop loss is designed to be tight and objective, providing a clear invalidation of the trade idea.
⬇️ For a Long Trade, the Stop Loss should be placed at the Sell Stop line the level on the opposite side of the gray box.
⬆️ For a Short Trade, the Stop Loss should be placed at the Buy Stop line.
🎯 Take Profit TP Strategy
The indicator provides three clear targets. How you use them depends on your trade management style.
🥇 TP1: The first level of resistance/support. This is an ideal target for taking partial profits and moving your stop loss to breakeven.
🥈 TP2 & TP3: Subsequent targets for scaling out of the position or for your final profit target.

Indicator
Entropy Divergence (No Repaint) [PhenLabs]📊 Entropy Divergence (No Repaint)
Version: PineScript™ v6
📌 Description
The Entropy Divergence Scalper (EDS) is a sophisticated trading indicator that applies information theory to market analysis. By calculating Shannon Entropy on price returns, it identifies periods when market behavior becomes more predictable and orderly—the ideal conditions for divergence-based trading.
Traditional divergence indicators generate signals regardless of market conditions, leading to many false signals during chaotic, high-entropy periods. EDS solves this by acting as an intelligent filter: it only triggers signals when entropy drops below your specified threshold, indicating that the market has entered a more structured, tradeable state.
This indicator is built with a strict non-repainting guarantee. All signals use barstate.isconfirmed and only appear after bar close, giving you reliable signals you can trust for live trading.
🚀 Points of Innovation
Shannon Entropy integration measures market randomness using information theory mathematics
Dual divergence engine detects both RSI and Volume divergences simultaneously
Entropy-filtered signals eliminate noise by only triggering in low-entropy (predictable) market conditions
100% non-repainting architecture ensures all signals are confirmed and historically accurate
Multi-layer confirmation combines entropy state, RSI divergence, and volume divergence for higher probability setups
Dynamic color visualization provides instant visual feedback on current market entropy state
🔧 Core Components
Shannon Entropy Calculator: Bins price returns into histograms and calculates entropy using H(X) = -Σ p(x) × log₂(p(x))
RSI Divergence Detector: Identifies when price makes lower lows while RSI makes higher lows (bullish) or price makes higher highs while RSI makes lower highs (bearish)
Volume Divergence Detector: Spots increasing volume interest at price lows (bullish) or decreasing conviction at price highs (bearish)
Pivot Detection System: Uses configurable lookback periods to identify and track price, RSI, and volume pivots
Signal Classification Engine: Labels signals as RSI, VOL, or RSI+VOL based on which divergences triggered
🔥 Key Features
Entropy Threshold Control: Set your preferred entropy level (default 2.5) to filter out signals during chaotic market periods
Configurable Smoothing: EMA smoothing on entropy values reduces noise while maintaining signal responsiveness
Flexible Pivot Detection: Adjust left/right lookback bars to tune sensitivity for different trading styles
Divergence Search Range: Control how far back the indicator looks for divergence patterns (20-200 bars)
Minimum Pivot Distance: Prevents false signals from pivots that are too close together
Complete Alert System: Four alert conditions for bullish signals, bearish signals, any signal, and low entropy zone entry
🎨 Visualization
Dynamic Entropy Line: Color gradient shifts from green (low entropy/tradeable) to orange (high entropy/chaotic)
Entropy Threshold Line: Dashed reference line shows your configured entropy threshold
Low Entropy Zone Fill: Background highlighting indicates when market is in tradeable low-entropy state
Scaled RSI Plot: RSI overlay scaled to fit the entropy pane for easy correlation analysis
Normalized Volume Bars: Volume displayed as columns normalized against 20-period average
Signal Labels: Clear LONG/SHORT labels with divergence type (RSI, VOL, or RSI+VOL)
Information Table: Real-time display of entropy value, state, RSI, and current signal status
📖 Usage Guidelines
Entropy Lookback Period — Default: 20, Range: 5-100 — Controls how many bars are used for entropy calculation; higher values provide smoother readings but slower response
Histogram Bins — Default: 10, Range: 5-50 — Number of bins for probability distribution; more bins provide finer granularity
Low Entropy Threshold — Default: 2.5, Range: 0.5-4.0 — Signals only trigger when entropy drops below this value; lower settings are more selective
Entropy Smoothing — Default: 3, Range: 1-10 — EMA smoothing applied to raw entropy values for noise reduction
RSI Length — Default: 14, Range: 5-50 — Standard RSI calculation period
Pivot Lookback Left — Default: 5, Range: 2-20 — Bars to the left for pivot detection
Pivot Lookback Right — Default: 2, Range: 1-10 — Bars to the right for pivot confirmation; lower values produce faster signals
Divergence Search Range — Default: 60, Range: 20-200 — Maximum bars to look back for divergence comparison
Min Bars Between Pivots — Default: 5, Range: 3-30 — Minimum distance between pivots for valid divergence detection
✅ Best Use Cases
Scalping during low-volatility consolidation periods when entropy drops and price becomes more predictable
Swing trade entry timing by waiting for divergence signals in low-entropy market conditions
Trend reversal identification when both RSI and Volume divergences align with low entropy readings
Multi-timeframe confirmation by checking entropy state on higher timeframes before taking signals
Filtering existing strategies by adding entropy as a confirmation layer to reduce false signals
⚠️ Limitations
Signals appear with a delay due to pivot confirmation requirements (pivotLookbackRight bars after pivot forms)
May generate fewer signals during strongly trending markets where entropy remains elevated
Entropy threshold requires optimization for different instruments and timeframes
Not designed for high-frequency trading due to bar-close confirmation requirement
Divergences can fail in extremely strong trends where momentum overwhelms the signal
💡 What Makes This Unique
First indicator to combine Shannon Entropy filtering with multi-factor divergence detection
Information theory approach provides mathematical foundation for identifying tradeable market states
Triple confirmation requirement (low entropy + divergence + bar close) significantly reduces false signals
Non-repainting guarantee makes it suitable for strategy backtesting and live trading
Open-source PineScript v6 code allows traders to understand and customize the methodology
🔬 How It Works
Step 1 — Entropy Calculation: The indicator calculates logarithmic returns, bins them into a histogram, and computes Shannon Entropy to measure market randomness
Step 2 — Entropy Filtering: When smoothed entropy drops below the threshold, the market is considered to be in a tradeable low-entropy state
Step 3 — Pivot Detection: The system continuously tracks price, RSI, and volume pivots using configurable lookback parameters
Step 4 — Divergence Analysis: When a new pivot is confirmed, the indicator compares it against previous pivots to detect bullish or bearish divergences
Step 5 — Signal Generation: A final signal only triggers when low entropy conditions coincide with a confirmed divergence pattern on a closed bar
💡 Note:
This indicator is designed for educational purposes and technical analysis. Always use proper risk management and never risk more than you can afford to lose. The non-repainting guarantee means signals will only appear after bar close—watch the indicator in real-time to verify this behavior. For optimal results, consider combining EDS signals with support/resistance levels and overall market context.

ICT Bias ProICT Bias Pro: Dashboard + First Hour Range & Session FVGs
This indicator is a comprehensive "Bias Builder" designed for traders who follow Inner Circle Trader (ICT) concepts. It combines a multi-timeframe trend dashboard with a specific intraday strategy derived from ICT's recent teaching: "How Do I Engage Markets When I Don't Have An Initial Bias?"
The tool is designed to help traders find confluence between the Macro trend (Daily/4H) and the Micro execution (15M/5M) during the New York AM Session.
Features & Methodology
1. Multi-Timeframe Bias Dashboard Located in the corner of your chart, this dashboard provides a quick "Traffic Light" view of the market structure across 4 key timeframes:
Daily & 4-Hour: Establishes the macro direction.
15-Min & 5-Min: Monitors intraday order flow.
Logic: Bias is determined by comparing price relative to the 20 EMA and checking for Market Structure alignment. Green = Bullish, Red = Bearish.
2. The "First Hour" Trading Range (No-Bias Strategy) Following ICT’s specific logic for days when bias is unclear, this tool automatically highlights the 9:30 AM – 10:30 AM (New York Time) trading range.
Range High & Low: Defining the volatility of the opening hour.
Equilibrium (50%): The "Line in the Sand." Price holding above the 50% signals bullish strength (Premium); price below signals bearish weakness (Discount).
Quadrants (25% & 75%): Deep discount/premium zones for precision entries.
3. Session-Specific Fair Value Gaps (FVG) The indicator automatically detects and draws Fair Value Gaps that form only within that critical first hour of trading.
Auto-Extension: Boxes extend to the right until price "mitigates" (fills) them.
Consequent Encroachment (C.E.): Automatically plots the 50% dashed line inside every FVG, a key institutional support/resistance level.
Smart Mitigation: Once a gap is filled, the box changes color (user-selectable) to indicate it is no longer an active magnet.
How to Use This Indicator
This tool is designed to identify Confluence:
Check the Dashboard: Look for alignment on the Daily and 4H timeframes (e.g., Both Green).
Wait for 10:30 AM EST: Allow the script to draw the First Hour Range.
Trade the Confluence:
Bullish Setup: If the Dashboard is Green, look for price to hold above the 50% Equilibrium of the First Hour Range. Look for entries inside Bullish FVGs that form near the 50% or 75% levels.
Bearish Setup: If the Dashboard is Red, look for price to reject the 50% Equilibrium and stay in the lower half. Target Bearish FVGs near the 50% or 25% levels.
Settings & Customization
Dashboard Toggle: Show or hide the table to keep charts clean.
Colors: Fully customizable colors for Range High/Low, FVGs (Bullish/Bearish), and Mitigated gaps.
Text Positioning: Adjust FVG labels (Left/Center/Right) to prevent visual clutter on candles.

SMC: Multi-TF Bias & HTF BOS with SessionsOverview
The HTF BOS (Session) - Precision Lines is a comprehensive trading tool designed for Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and price action traders. It identifies Higher Timeframe (HTF) Break of Structure (BOS) levels while filtering them based on specific trading sessions. Additionally, it features a built-in Bias Dashboard that tracks trend alignment across three different timeframes to help you stay on the right side of the market.
Key Features
1. Precision HTF BOS Tracking
Unlike standard indicators that only mark the breakout candle, this script uses high-precision pivot detection to identify the exact origin of a structural high or low.
Tam Yapışık Çizgiler (Precise Lines): The BOS lines are drawn exactly from the pivot point to the breakout point, providing a clean and professional look on your chart.
HTF Integration: You can track structure from a higher timeframe (e.g., 4H) while trading on a lower timeframe (e.g., 15m or 5m).
2. Session Filtering (Time Sensitivity)
Structural breaks are most reliable when they happen during high-volume periods.
The script includes a Session Filter (London & New York).
If enabled, the indicator will only plot BOS levels that occur during your specified trading hours, helping you avoid "fake-outs" or noise during low-liquidity periods (Asian session/After-hours).
3. Multi-Timeframe Bias Dashboard
Stay aware of the "Big Picture" without constantly switching charts. The dashboard monitors three custom timeframes (e.g., Daily, 4H, 1H) and determines if the structure is Bullish or Bearish.
Strong Buy/Sell Signals: When all three timeframes align, the status cell highlights as "BUY" or "SELL."
Wait Status: If timeframes are in conflict, the dashboard suggests "WAIT," encouraging disciplined trading.
How to Use
Define Your Bias: Set your three Bias Timeframes in the settings to match your higher-level strategy.
Set Your BOS TF: Choose the timeframe you want structural breaks to be calculated from (usually one or two steps above your entry chart).
Adjust Sensitivity: Use the "Pivot Sensitivity" setting to filter between minor and major structural points.
Confirm with Session: Enable the session filter to ensure you are only trading breaks that occur during the NY or London sessions.
Settings
Bias Dashboard Settings: Customize the TFs and pivot sensitivity for trend analysis.
BOS & Session Settings: Set your target HTF for drawings and define your trading window (NY Timezone supported).
Visual Settings: Full control over colors (Bullish/Bearish), table positioning, and text sizes. Indicator

Market Structure Event TrendThis indicator identifies and visualizes advanced market structure
concepts (SMC) alongside classic price action analysis. It combines
robust, non-repainting pivot detection with a sophisticated engine
that tracks dual-layer trend states, structural breaks (BOS/CHoCH),
and supply/demand zones (Order Blocks).
Key Features:
1. **Non-Repainting Pivot Detection:**
- Uses a standard lookback method (`left` and `right` bars) to
identify historical pivot points.
- **Note on Confirmation:** Pivots are only confirmed *after*
the `Pivot Right Bars` input has passed. This is essential
for ensuring the signal is non-repainting, but it
introduces an inherent lag.
- Automatically classifies the sequence of pivots according to
Dow Theory: Higher Highs (HH), Higher Lows (HL), Lower Highs (LH),
and Lower Lows (LL).
- **Flexible Pivot Algorithms:** Supports various underlying
mathematical models for pivot detection provided by the
core library
2. **Smart Money Concepts (SMC) Engine:**
- **Dual-Layer Structure:** The engine distinguishes between significant
**Major Structure** (Swing Points) and internal **Minor Structure**
(Sub-Structure). This allows traders to separate the overarching trend
from immediate order flow.
- **Event Detection:** Automatically identifies and visualizes key events:
- **BOS (Break of Structure):** Signals trend continuation when a
validated High/Low is broken in the direction of the trend.
- **CHoCH (Change of Character):** Signals a potential trend reversal
when a significant structural level is breached against the trend.
- **Pivot Classification:** Applies classic labels (HH, HL, LH, LL)
while also detecting Equal Highs (EH) and Equal Lows (EL) based on
a user-defined price tolerance.
3. **Automated Order Blocks:**
- Identifies potential Supply and Demand zones (Order Blocks) formed
at the precise origin of a structural break.
- **Mitigation Tracking:** The indicator monitors price action in real-time
and automatically removes or updates Order Blocks once they have been
mitigated (tested/broken) by the price.
- **Scope Awareness:** Distinguishes between Major Order Blocks (Swing origin)
and Minor Order Blocks (Internal flow origin).
4. **Trend State Visualization & Dynamic S/R:**
- A robust state machine analyzes the sequence of events to determine
the current market trend (Bullish, Bearish, or Neutral) for both
Major and Minor scopes.
- **Dynamic Step-Lines:** Visualizes the trend structure directly on the
chart, creating a "staircase" effect that highlights trailing stop levels.
- **Extended Pivot Lines:** Extends dynamic horizontal lines from confirmed
pivots that act as Support/Resistance and automatically terminate
upon a structural break.
5. **Full Customization & Alerts:**
- **Display Options:** Granular control over the visibility of Events,
Labels, Symbols, and Lines. Supports "Relative" vs "Absolute" price
change display.
- **Visual Styling:** Extensive color customization for Bullish/Bearish
scenarios and Major/Minor hierarchy.
- **Comprehensive Alerts:** Set up precise alerts for:
- New Pivot formations (e.g., "Pivot Higher High").
- Structural Events (e.g., "Major Bullish BOS detected").
- Trend State Changes (e.g., "Major Trend changed to Bullish",
"Minor Trend no longer Bearish").

This indicator focuses on "Reverse Engineering" the daily narrative by plotting key sessions, mitigation lines, specific Fibonacci retracement setups, and Higher Timeframe (HTF) liquidity pools automatically.
Key Features:
1. Dynamic Session Killzones Automatically highlights key trading sessions with customizable boxes and extends the High/Low liquidity lines forward until they are mitigated (hit by price).
Asia Range: (Default 20:00 - 00:00)
London Session: (Default 02:00 - 05:00)
NY AM Session: (Default 09:30 - 11:00)
NY PM Session: (Default 13:30 - 16:00)
Note: Lines automatically cut off once price trades through them, keeping your chart clean.
2. Institutional Fibonacci Setups Auto-drawing Fibonacci anchors based on specific time windows to identify OTE (Optimal Trade Entry) and key extensions.
Overnight Fib: Measures the range from 18:00 to 05:00.
9 AM "Silver Bullet" Fib: Measures the 09:00 - 10:00 candle range to determine the morning bias.
Includes standard institutional levels (0, 1, 0.236, 0.786).
3. Higher Timeframe (HTF) Matrix Never lose track of the bigger picture. This tool plots major liquidity levels from higher timeframes onto your intraday chart:
Daily: True Day Open (TDO), Previous Day High/Low (PDH/PDL), and Daily Equilibrium (50%).
Weekly: Previous Week High/Low and Weekly Equilibrium.
Macro: Monthly and Quarterly Highs/Lows + 50% levels.
4. Price Action Helpers
Engulfing / Outside Bar Detector: Highlights bars that fully engulf the previous candle's range (Higher High & Lower Low). These are often key volatility candles used to draw manual Fibonacci ranges or identify immediate reversals.
Previous Bar 50%: Automatically marks the midpoint of the previous candle, useful for immediate rebalancing entries.
Settings & Customization:
Fully customizable colors for every session and level.
Toggle any feature on or off to suit your specific strategy.
Adjustable lookback history to manage chart load.
Usage: This indicator is best used on intraday timeframes (1m, 5m, 15m) for Futures (NQ, ES) and Forex pairs. It is designed to help you spot liquidity sweeps and session reversals without manually drawing every box and line.
This indicator is a Work In Progress. I created this tool primarily for myself to consolidate everything I need for my personal trading style into a single, efficient indicator. However, I am sharing it in case others find it useful. If you are using this and have requests for changes or ideas on how to make it better, please leave a comment or reach out, I will look into what I can do to improve it. Indicator
[TehThomas] - Aligned Timeframe Liquidity Sweeps█ OVERVIEW
The Liquidity Sweeps ICT MTF indicator automatically detects and visualizes buyside and sellside liquidity levels based on higher timeframe (HTF) swing points. Designed specifically for traders using Smart Money Concepts and ICT (Inner Circle Trader) methodology, this tool helps identify where institutional players are likely hunting liquidity before making directional moves.
█ KEY FEATURES
✓ Automatic ICT-Aligned Timeframe Selection
• Intelligently selects the higher timeframe based on your current chart
• Follows ICT's recommended correlations (5min→1h, 15min→4h, 1h→Daily, etc.)
• No manual timeframe selection needed - adapts automatically
✓ Precise Liquidity Level Placement
• Lines start exactly at the LTF candle that created the HTF swing point
• Searches backwards through historical data to find exact placement
• Eliminates guesswork about where institutional orders cluster
✓ Real-Time Sweep Detection
• Solid lines indicate untouched liquidity (active levels)
• Lines automatically turn dotted when price sweeps through them
• Swept lines stop at the exact bar of the sweep (clean visualization)
• Both wicks and candle bodies trigger sweep detection
✓ Fully Customizable Per Timeframe
• Individual swing detection settings for each HTF (1m, 15m, 1h, 4h, D, W, M)
• Adjust sensitivity to show major levels only or capture granular liquidity pools
• Customizable colors and line width
• Organized settings groups for easy navigation
█ HOW IT WORKS
The indicator identifies swing highs and swing lows on a higher timeframe using pivot point detection. These swing points represent areas where stop-loss orders from retail traders concentrate, creating "liquidity pools" that smart money targets.
Timeframe Alignment (Automatic):
• 15s chart → 1min HTF
• 1min chart → 15min HTF
• 5min chart → 1hour HTF
• 15min chart → 4hour HTF
• 1hour chart → Daily HTF
• 4hour chart → Weekly HTF
• Daily chart → Monthly HTF
Swing Detection:
The indicator uses customizable left/right bar counts to identify valid swing points on the HTF. Default values are optimized per timeframe (e.g., 10 bars for 1h, 5 bars for Daily), but can be adjusted to your preference.
Visualization:
• Green lines = Buyside liquidity (swing highs where long stops sit)
• Red lines = Sellside liquidity (swing lows where short stops sit)
• Solid style = Untouched liquidity
• Dotted style = Swept liquidity
█ SETTINGS
Swing Detection Group:
• Swing Bars - 1 Minute: Default 5 bars
• Swing Bars - 15 Minutes: Default 8 bars
• Swing Bars - 1 Hour: Default 10 bars
• Swing Bars - 4 Hours: Default 6 bars
• Swing Bars - Daily: Default 5 bars
• Swing Bars - Weekly: Default 3 bars
• Swing Bars - Monthly: Default 2 bars
Tip: Increase values for cleaner charts with major levels only. Decrease for more sensitive detection.
Display Group:
• Buyside Liquidity Color: Default green
• Sellside Liquidity Color: Default red
• Line Width: Adjustable 1-5
█ HOW TO USE
Reading the liquidity levels:
🟢 Green solid line = Untouched buyside liquidity (potential magnet for price)
🔴 Red solid line = Untouched sellside liquidity (potential magnet for price)
🟢 Green dotted line = Swept buyside liquidity (bulls trapped)
🔴 Red dotted line = Swept sellside liquidity (bears trapped)
Trading Applications:
1. Liquidity Grab Reversals: Watch for sweeps followed by immediate reversals
2. Stop Hunt Detection: Multiple sweeps often precede strong counter-moves
3. Target Identification: Use untouched levels as potential price magnets
4. Market Structure Analysis: Understand institutional order flow
5. Confluence Zones: Combine with order blocks, FVGs, or other ICT concepts
Best Practices:
• Focus on liquid markets (major FX pairs, indices, large-cap stocks)
• Consider higher timeframe trend - sweeps against trend are higher probability
• Look for liquidity clusters (multiple levels close together)
• Wait for confirmation after sweeps before entering
• Not all sweeps result in reversals - context matters
█ TRADING STRATEGY EXAMPLES
Liquidity Sweep Reversal:
1. Identify untouched liquidity level
2. Wait for price to sweep through (line turns dotted)
3. Look for reversal price action (engulfing, rejection)
4. Enter in reversal direction with stop beyond the sweep
5. Target next liquidity level or structure
Liquidity-to-Liquidity:
1. Price sweeps sellside liquidity (red dotted)
2. Enter long positions
3. Target buyside liquidity above (green solid)
4. Exit when buyside liquidity is swept
█ IDEAL FOR
• ICT Methodology Traders
• Smart Money Concept Practitioners
• Liquidity-Based Strategies
• Multi-Timeframe Analysis
• Price Action Traders
• Stop Hunt Avoidance
█ TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
• Maximum Lines: 500
• Lookback Range: Up to 1000 bars for precise placement
• Compatible: All markets and timeframes
• Data: Works on both real-time and historical bars
█ NOTES & DISCLAIMERS
• This indicator is a tool for analysis, not a standalone trading system
• Always use proper risk management and combine with other analysis
• Performance may vary across different markets and conditions
• Based on ICT concepts - familiarity with Smart Money trading is recommended

Institutional Confluence Nexus [Pro]The Problem: Noise vs. Signal
In the world of Smart Money Concepts (SMC), traders are often overwhelmed by "chart clutter." Standard indicators blindly highlight every Fair Value Gap (FVG) and Order Block (OB), regardless of whether the market is trending, ranging, or dead. This leads to analysis paralysis and low-probability entries.
The Institutional Confluence Nexus was built to solve this. It is not just a structure detector; it is a filtering engine. It uses a multi-factor model to hide low-probability zones and only highlight setups where Structure, Volume, and Momentum align.
The "Quantum" Integration
This script includes a built-in Quantum Regression Oscillator (QRO) engine running in the background. Unlike standard RSI or MACD which are reactive (lagging), the QRO uses Linear Regression mathematics to project momentum trajectory.
By combining institutional structure (Price Action) with quantum momentum (Math), this tool generates specific high-probability signals that only appear when price action and momentum are in perfect agreement.
How It Works & Visual Guide
This indicator is a complete trading suite. Here is what every symbol and color on your chart represents:
1. The "Nexus" Reversal Signals (Triangles)
Symbol : Green Triangle (Up) / Red Triangle (Down) labeled NEXUS.
Logic : These appear when price taps a valid Order Block that aligns with the macro trend (200 EMA).
Meaning : These are your primary "Trend Join" setups. They indicate that the institutional trend is resuming after a retracement.
2. High-Volume Breakouts (Bar Colors)
Symbol : Yellow Candles (Bullish) / Orange Candles (Bearish).
Logic : The script detects when a Break of Structure (BOS) occurs with Above-Average Volume.
Meaning : A breakout without volume is often a fakeout. These colored bars confirm that institutions are fueling the move. If you see a Yellow bar, it means "Smart Money" is buying the breakout.
3. QRO Confluence Signals (Labels)
These are the most advanced signals in the suite, combining Price Action with the internal Oscillator:
SNIPER (Blue/Purple) : The strongest reversal signal.
Condition : Price taps a Fair Value Gap + The internal QRO is at extreme volatility bands (Oversold/Overbought).
PB BUY / PB SELL (Aqua/Orange) : A trend continuation signal.
Condition : Price pulls back into a Fair Value Gap + The internal QRO confirms momentum is still healthy (above/below midline).
Note : These signals automatically draw a Red Line at the invalidation point (Stop Loss) to help you manage risk immediately.
4. The Confluence Dashboard
A non-intrusive Heads-Up Display (HUD) in the corner gives you a snapshot of the market state:
Trend : Is price above/below the 200 EMA?
Volume : Is current volume anomalous (High) or normal?
Structure : Are we breaking up, down, or ranging?
Settings & Customization
Smart Money Structure: Toggle FVGs and Order Blocks on/off.
FVG Extend: Control how far the gap "zones" extend to the right to see them as support/resistance zones.
Volume Filter: Enable/Disable the volume requirement (Keep enabled for higher strike rate).
Risk Management: Adjust the "Lookback" period for the automatic Stop Loss lines.
For Developers (Open Source)
I have kept the code open-source to foster learning in the Pine Script community. You can study how:
ta.linreg is used to smooth RSI data for the internal QRO engine.
box.new and line.new are used for dynamic drawing and extending zones.
var variables are used to store historical FVG levels to detect precise crossovers.

ICT Algo: Sweep + MSS + High Prob FVG/IFVGThis script is a comprehensive execution tool based on Inner Circle Trader (ICT) concepts, specifically designed to identify high-probability entries by combining Liquidity Sweeps, Market Structure Shifts (MSS), and Fair Value Gaps (FVG/IFVG).
Unlike standard FVG indicators that highlight every gap on the chart, this "Algo" version filters for gaps that occur specifically after a liquidity purge and a shift in structure, ensuring you are only looking at setups with institutional backing.
How It Works
The script follows a strict 3-step validation process before plotting a signal:
Liquidity Sweep (The Context): The script tracks Higher Timeframe (HTF) levels including Previous Day High/Low, Weekly High/Low, and Monthly High/Low. A setup is only considered valid if price has recently "swept" one of these levels, indicating a hunt for liquidity.
Market Structure Shift (The Confirmation): Once a sweep occurs, the script looks for a displacement in the opposite direction. It identifies a "Pivot High/Low" (customizable length) and waits for a candle body to close beyond it (MSS).
Filtered Entry (The Trigger): * FVG: Plots a standard Fair Value Gap if it forms within a "Deep Value" zone (Discount for longs, Premium for shorts).
IFVG (Inversion FVG): Highlights failed FVGs that have been reclaimed by price to act as support or resistance.
Key Features
Multi-Timeframe Liquidity Filters: Automatically plots PDH/L, PWH/L, PMH/L, and PYH/L. You can toggle which levels act as your sweep triggers.
Deep Value Logic: The script uses built-in logic to ensure Bullish FVGs are only highlighted when price is below a key liquidity level (Discount), and Bearish FVGs when price is above (Premium).
Dynamic Box Management: To keep your chart clean, boxes for FVGs and IFVGs are automatically shortened ("cut") once they are mitigated by price.
Inversion Logic: Includes a specialized toggle for Inversion Fair Value Gaps, allowing you to trade "failed" gaps that flip their polarity.
Settings & Customization
Entry Setup Bias: Choose to see only Bullish, only Bearish, or Both setups.
MSS Pivot Length: Adjust how "sensitive" the Market Structure Shift detection is. A higher number requires a more significant swing to be broken.
Sweep Lookback: Defines how many bars back the script looks for a liquidity sweep to remain "active" for a setup.
Include Opens: Optional toggle to include Previous Day/Week/Month Opens as liquidity points.
Usage Tips
The Golden Setup: Look for a sweep of a Previous Day High, followed by a Bearish MSS, and an entry at the Red FVG box.
Risk Management: This indicator is designed for entry identification. Always use stop losses (usually placed above/below the candle that created the FVG or the MSS swing point).
Timeframes: Best used on execution timeframes (1m, 5m, 15m) while the script handles the HTF levels automatically.
Disclaimer: This script is an educational tool and does not constitute financial advice. Trading involves significant risk. Past performance of a strategy does not guarantee future results.
