OVERVIEW
Smart Money Concept Levels Filter maps the price-action framework commonly taught as smart money concepts, and it does so on two zoom levels at the same time so that short-term structure and larger-picture structure are visible together on one chart.
Two independent structure engines run side by side. The swing engine uses a long pivot length and draws with solid lines: this is the larger picture, the structure a position trader watches. The internal engine uses a short pivot length and draws with dashed lines: this is the structure inside the swing, the detail a scalper works with. Each keeps its own trend state, so the two can disagree, and when they do that disagreement is itself information.
Around that spine sit the rest of the framework: order blocks extracted from the origin of every structural break, equal highs and equal lows marked as resting liquidity, fair value gaps filtered by an adaptive threshold, the strong and weak classification of the current swing extremes, a premium and discount partition of the trailing range, and the previous daily, weekly and monthly levels.
Every threshold that could otherwise be instrument-specific is measured in multiples of Average True Range, so the same settings behave identically on gold, on a currency pair, on an index and on crypto, from seconds charts to monthly.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
WHY THIS INDICATOR WAS CREATED
Six specific problems drove this build.
1. One structure layer is never enough.
A tool tuned to short-term pivots produces a chart covered in labels and no sense of the bigger move. A tool tuned to long pivots gives clean context and misses everything a trader actually executes on. Running both at once, each with its own trend state and its own visual weight, means the execution detail and the larger picture never have to be chosen between.
2. The difference between a break of structure and a change of character is decided by state, not by hindsight.
These two events look identical on the chart, a close through a prior pivot, and they mean opposite things. One says the trend continues, the other says it may have just turned. The only correct way to tell them apart is to read the trend state at the instant the level breaks, and that requires the engine to actually hold that state rather than infer it later.
3. A single level should fire once, not repeatedly.
Without a guard, price oscillating around a pivot prints break after break on the same level, and the chart fills with meaningless duplicates. Each pivot here is marked as consumed the moment it is broken, and only a newly confirmed pivot can produce the next event.
4. Order blocks are usually marked in the wrong place.
Many tools mark the candle that broke structure. The concept says the opposite: the block is the origin of the leg, the candle price left from before the break happened. Locating that origin candle inside the leg, rather than taking whichever bar was convenient, is the difference between a zone with a rationale and a rectangle.
5. Strong and weak extremes are the most useful idea in the framework and the least implemented.
Not all highs are equal. The high that a bearish move originated from has a reason to hold; the high formed during a countertrend bounce does not. Labelling them differently, driven by the live swing trend, turns a chart of levels into a chart of ranked levels.
6. Fixed thresholds break across instruments.
An equal-highs tolerance or a gap filter measured in fixed points is sensible on one market and nonsense on the next. Every tolerance here is ATR-relative, and the gap filter is adaptive to the instrument's own recent gap sizes, so nothing needs retuning when the chart changes.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
HOW IT WORKS, FULL METHODOLOGY
1. THE DUAL STRUCTURE ENGINE
Two engines run independently. Each holds four things: its most recent confirmed pivot high with the bar it formed on, its most recent confirmed pivot low with the same, a flag for each recording whether that level has already been broken, and its own trend direction.
When a new pivot is confirmed, it replaces the stored level and its broken flag is cleared, arming it. When price closes through an armed level, the engine fires once, marks the level consumed, and updates its trend direction. That consumed flag is what prevents a single level from producing a stream of duplicate labels.
The swing engine draws with solid lines and larger text; the internal engine draws with dashed lines and smaller text, so the two layers are never confused with each other.
2. BREAK OF STRUCTURE AND CHANGE OF CHARACTER
At the moment a level breaks, the engine compares the direction of the break to its own current trend.
If the break continues the existing trend, it is a break of structure: a continuation event, confirmation that the prevailing direction is still in force.
If the break reverses the trend, it is a change of character: the first structural evidence that the prevailing direction may be over. The trend state then flips, so the next event will be judged against the new direction.
Each layer can be filtered independently to show all events, only breaks of structure, or only changes of character.
3. SWING POINT CLASSIFICATION
Optionally, every confirmed swing pivot is labelled against its predecessor as a higher high, lower high, higher low or lower low. This is the raw grammar of trend and it is off by default because it adds a great deal of text to the chart.
4. ORDER BLOCKS
When a structural break occurs, the engine looks back across the leg that produced it and finds its origin candle: the lowest low of the leg for a bullish break, the highest high for a bearish one. The zone is built from that candle, using either its full wick range or just its body, your choice.
Internal breaks and swing breaks maintain separate pools with their own colours and their own size limits, so short-term blocks never crowd out the significant ones. Each zone extends to the right and carries a label inside it.
A block is mitigated and removed once price closes decisively through it, on either a close or a wick basis, so only unmitigated zones remain drawn.
5. EQUAL HIGHS AND EQUAL LOWS
Consecutive pivots that land within an ATR-relative tolerance of one another are joined by a dotted line and labelled as equal highs or equal lows. Under the methodology these are resting liquidity: clusters of stop orders sitting just beyond a level that price has already respected more than once.
6. FAIR VALUE GAPS
Three-candle imbalances are detected: a bullish gap where the third candle's low sits above the first candle's high, a bearish gap where the third candle's high sits below the first candle's low.
The significance filter is adaptive rather than fixed. The engine maintains a running average of the gap sizes this instrument has actually produced and requires a new gap to exceed a multiple of that average. A meaningful gap on gold and a meaningful gap on a currency pair are therefore both judged correctly by the same setting.
7. STRONG AND WEAK EXTREMES
This is driven entirely by the live swing trend.
When the swing trend is bearish, the swing high that the bearish move originated from is labelled Strong High: a level with real structural reason behind it. The swing low formed during the countertrend move is labelled Weak Low: a level with far less behind it and correspondingly easier to break.
When the swing trend is bullish, the classification mirrors: Strong Low at the origin and Weak High against it.
8. PREMIUM, EQUILIBRIUM AND DISCOUNT
The trailing swing range is partitioned into three bands: an expensive upper zone, a fair middle around the midpoint, and a cheap lower zone. All three boundaries are configurable as percentages of the range. It is off by default.
9. MULTI-TIMEFRAME LEVELS
The previous completed daily, weekly and monthly high and low can each be extended across the chart as higher-timeframe reference, whatever timeframe you are working on. All are requested with lookahead disabled.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
HOW TO READ IT ON THE CHART
- Solid line with a label. A swing structure break, the larger picture.
- Dashed line with a smaller label. An internal structure break, the detail inside the swing.
- BOS. Break of structure, a continuation of that layer's trend.
- CHoCH. Change of character, that layer's trend just flipped.
- Green labels and lines. Bullish events. Red labels and lines. Bearish events.
- Blue shaded zone. A bullish order block, the origin of an upward leg.
- Red or pink shaded zone. A bearish order block, the origin of a downward leg.
- Order Block text inside a zone. Identifies the zone at a glance without a separate legend.
- EQH or EQL joined by a dotted line. Equal highs or equal lows, resting liquidity.
- Strong High or Strong Low on the right. The extreme the current swing trend originated from.
- Weak High or Weak Low on the right. The countertrend extreme, structurally the softer level.
- HH, HL, LH, LL. Swing point classification, off by default.
Read the swing layer first for context, then the internal layer for timing. When both layers agree, structure is aligned. When the internal layer flips against a swing trend that is still intact, you are usually looking at a pullback rather than a reversal.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
PRACTICAL USE
Treat a change of character as a warning and a break of structure as confirmation.
A change of character is the first structural evidence that a trend may be ending. It is a reason to tighten risk and stop adding, not a reason to reverse immediately. A break of structure in the new direction afterwards is the confirmation that the turn has actually happened.
Rank levels by strong and weak before anything else.
A Strong High in a bearish market is where the move came from and where sellers have a reason to defend. A Weak Low is where a bounce ran out of steam and has far less behind it. Given a choice of levels to work with, the strong one deserves more respect and the weak one is the more likely to break.
Use order blocks as zones to react in, not signals to act on.
A block marks the origin of a move. Price returning into it is the setup, not the entry. Wait for the reaction inside the zone before committing, and use the far boundary as invalidation, because that is where the zone's premise fails.
Read the layers together for timing.
The classic combination is a swing structure that is intact in one direction and an internal change of character that turns back in line with it. That is a pullback ending, which is a very different thing from a swing change of character, which is a trend possibly ending.
Expect equal levels to be swept.
Equal highs and equal lows mark where stops are resting. The methodology expects price to run them before the real move. Placing your own stop immediately beyond an obvious EQH or EQL is placing it exactly where the framework says price is most likely to reach.
Use the higher-timeframe levels as context, not as signals.
The previous daily, weekly and monthly extremes are reference points that traders on those timeframes are watching. They matter most when structure on your own chart is already turning near one of them.
Tune the two pivot lengths to your own horizon.
Raising the internal length quietens the chart and produces fewer, more meaningful internal events. Raising the swing length gives broader, rarer, more significant swing events. These two settings do more to change the character of the tool than anything else in it.
Timeframes.
Everything is ATR-relative, so the tool behaves consistently everywhere. Higher timeframes produce fewer, larger and more significant events; lower timeframes produce many more. A swing change of character on a four-hour chart carries far more weight than one on a one-minute chart.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
UNIVERSAL MARKET AND TIMEFRAME COMPATIBILITY
No pip value, point distance or price constant appears anywhere in the logic. The equal-level tolerance is an ATR multiple, the gap filter is adaptive to the instrument's own recent gaps, and the range partition is expressed in percentages, so the same configuration behaves consistently on Forex majors and crosses, on gold and other metals, on indices, on crypto, on futures and on individual equities, from seconds charts to monthly.
No volume data is required anywhere, so feeds that publish none lose no functionality at all.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
ALERTS
Eleven alert conditions are included:
- Internal BOS and Internal CHoCH
- Swing BOS and Swing CHoCH
- Bullish Swing Break and Bearish Swing Break
- Equal Highs and Equal Lows
- Bullish Fair Value Gap and Bearish Fair Value Gap
- Order Block Mitigated
Alert messages carry the ticker and timeframe automatically, so the same alert can be run across a watchlist without keeping charts open.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
LIVE BEHAVIOUR AND REPAINTING STATEMENT
A pivot is confirmed only after the required bars have formed to its right. This is inherent to every pivot-based tool and cannot be removed by any setting: a swing is not a swing until price has moved away from it. Once confirmed, a pivot never moves.
Structure breaks, order block creation, order block mitigation, equal-level marking and gap detection are all evaluated on confirmed bars. A printed break of structure, change of character, equal level or order block never disappears from history and never changes side.
The strong and weak labels, the premium and discount partition and the previous higher-timeframe levels describe the present state and therefore update live, which is their purpose and is stated here so it is not mistaken for repainting.
The multi-timeframe levels are requested with lookahead disabled, so no future higher-timeframe data can reach a past bar.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
HONEST NOTE ON THE FRAMEWORK
I state this plainly so nothing here is oversold. The same note appears in the script header.
Smart money concepts are an interpretive framework, not a description of verified fact. This tool marks structure exactly as the methodology defines it, and that is all it does. It cannot see institutional orders. It cannot know anyone's intent. The words order block and liquidity name concepts from within the framework; they are not observations of order-book data. No retail charting tool can observe institutional flow, and this one makes no such claim anywhere.
What the tool actually does is entirely mechanical and entirely honest: it finds pivots, it detects closes through them, it classifies those closes against a tracked trend state, and it marks the origin candles of the resulting legs. Whether that framework describes how markets work is a question for you, not for the indicator.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
HONEST LIMITATIONS
- A change of character is a warning, not a reversal, and a break of structure is a continuation signal, not a guarantee. Both fail regularly, which is why every level here needs a stop behind it.
- Pivot confirmation means every event is marked some bars after the price action that caused it. The tool describes structure that has completed, never structure that is forming.
- Order blocks are areas, not barriers. Price can trade deep into a block and recover, and it can slice straight through one without pausing.
- The internal layer on a fast chart will produce a great deal of activity. That is the layer working as intended, and it is why the pivot length and the label filters exist.
- Equal highs and equal lows are marked by proximity within a tolerance. A wider tolerance finds more pairs and some of them will be coincidence; a narrower one finds fewer and misses some genuine ones. There is no setting that removes this trade-off.
- The strong and weak classification follows the swing trend. When that trend flips, the classification flips with it, which is correct behaviour and does mean the labels move when structure changes.
- The premium and discount partition uses the trailing swing range. In a strongly trending market that range is constantly being redefined, and the partition is correspondingly less meaningful than it is in a range.
- This indicator maps structure. It produces no entry or exit signals, does not size positions and does not manage risk. Every trading decision remains entirely your own.

AUTHOR VERIFICATION DECLARATION
I am Expert_Markets_Insights, the publisher and sole original author of this exact implementation of Smart Money Concept Levels Filter. I designed the architecture of this tool, wrote every line of the Pine Script v6 code it contains, tested it across multiple asset classes and timeframes, and I take full and sole ownership and responsibility for it.
Specifically, I independently designed and coded: the dual structure engine that tracks an internal and a swing layer with independent pivot lengths, independent trend state and independent break bookkeeping; the crossed-level guard that prevents a single pivot from firing repeatedly; the break classifier that decides between a break of structure and a change of character from the trend state at the moment of the break; the swing labelling that classifies each pivot against its predecessor; the order block extraction that locates the origin candle of each structural leg and builds a zone from it, with separate internal and swing pools, mitigation tracking and capped storage; the equal high and equal low detector with its ATR-relative tolerance; the fair value gap engine with its adaptive significance threshold; the strong and weak extreme classifier driven by the swing trend; the premium, equilibrium and discount partition of the trailing swing range; the multi-timeframe previous period level layer; and the alert framework.
This declaration is made for this specific version of the script, version 6.0, July 2026. Any future modified version I publish will carry its own updated declaration in the script header.

ORIGINAL INDICATOR SCRIPT IMPLEMENTATION VERIFICATION AND DECLARATION
I verify and declare that this script is an original implementation authored from scratch by Expert_Markets_Insights. No portion of this code was copied, ported, decompiled, translated, reverse-engineered or adapted from any other author's closed-source, invite-only, protected or open-source script. No third-party library and no republished open-source script forms any part of this work, and no other author's structure engine, order block logic or visual system was reproduced.
I acknowledge openly and without reservation that every trading concept implemented here is public and very widely taught. Market structure, the break of structure and the change of character, higher highs and lower lows, order blocks, fair value gaps, equal highs and equal lows as liquidity, strong and weak extremes, premium and discount pricing against a range, and previous higher-timeframe levels, are all common knowledge across the trading community. They are taught freely in countless articles, videos and courses, they belong to no single author, and I claim ownership of none of them.
My original contribution, and what this declaration covers, is the specific code implementation: my own dual-layer structure state machine, my own crossed-level guard, my own break classifier, my own order block extraction and mitigation model, my own ATR-relative equal-level tolerance, my own adaptive fair value gap threshold, my own strong and weak classifier, my own range partition, and my own presentation layer.
Because these concepts are so widely implemented, conceptual and visual overlap with other smart money tools is unavoidable and fully expected. Two honest authors implementing the break of structure will produce charts that look similar, because they are both drawing the same publicly taught idea, and neither of them invented it. What I declare is that there is no source-code overlap of any kind with any other author's work, and that every line in this script is mine.
The full commented source, including both of these declarations and the note on the framework, is contained in the script header.

FVG 9:31–10:00 AM ETFVG 9:31–10:00 AM ET - Script Description
What This Script Does
This indicator finds **Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)** that form during the first 29 minutes of the U.S. stock market (9:31 AM to 10:00 AM Eastern Time). A Fair Value Gap is a price imbalance where there's a gap between candles that often becomes an important support or resistance level.
Key Features:
- **Time Window**: Only looks for FVGs between 9:31-10:00 AM ET (most important opening period)
- **One Per Day**: Finds only the first FVG that forms in this time window each day
- **Visual Display**: Draws a purple box around the gap with a clear "FVG" label
- **Price Tracking**: Monitors when price comes back to test the gap level
- **Alert System**: Sends notifications when price returns to the FVG zone
How FVGs Are Detected:
- **Bullish FVG**: When there's a gap up (low of middle candle is above high of 3rd candle back)
- **Bearish FVG**: When there's a gap down (high of middle candle is below low of 3rd candle back)
The 9:31-10:00 AM window is chosen because this is when institutions and algorithms create their biggest price moves right after market open, making these gaps very reliable.
Customization Options
User Settings

How to Use:
Setup
Chart Settings
1. Use 1-minute, 5-minute, or 15-minute charts (works best on these timeframes)
2. Apply to liquid markets like ES, NQ, major stocks, or forex pairs
3. Set the "Extend FVG Box" to your preference (start with 0 or 10)
What You'll See
- A purple box appears when an FVG forms during 9:31-10:00 AM
- Box shows the exact price levels of the gap
- "FVG" label appears on the box
- Only one FVG per day will be marked
Trading Strategies
Basic FVG Trading
1. **Wait for Formation**: Let the purple box appear during 9:31-10:00 AM
2. **Watch Price Movement**: See if price moves away from the gap
3. **Enter on Retest**: When price comes back to the purple box area, consider entering
4. **Trade Direction**:
- Bullish FVG = look for long opportunities when price retests
- Bearish FVG = look for short opportunities when price retests
Entry Methods
- **Bounce Play**: Enter when price touches the FVG box and bounces away
- **Break Play**: Enter if price strongly breaks through the FVG box
- **Rejection Play**: Enter opposite direction if price gets rejected at the FVG
Risk Management
Stop Losses
- Place stops just outside the FVG box (a few ticks beyond the gap)
- If trading a bounce, stop goes on opposite side of the gap
- If trading a break, stop goes back inside the gap
Position Sizing
- Start small until you understand how FVGs work in your market
- Bigger gaps = smaller position size (more risk)
- Smaller gaps = can use larger position size
Profit Targets
- Take profits at obvious levels like round numbers, previous highs/lows
- Consider taking half profits at 1:1 risk/reward ratio
- Let some position run if the move is strong
Best Practices
When It Works Best
- High-volume stocks and futures (ES, NQ work great)
- Normal market days without major news during the 9:31-10:00 window
- When there's clear institutional activity in the opening period
When to Be Careful
- Low-volume stocks or markets
- Major economic news releases during the time window
- Market holidays when volume is low
- Very choppy or sideways days
Alert Usage
- The script will alert you when price comes back to test the FVG
- Don't trade the alert blindly - always check the current market situation
- Use the alert as a heads-up to start watching the setup more closely
Tips for Success
- The earlier the FVG forms in the 9:31-10:00 window, often the more significant it is
- FVGs that form with high volume are usually more reliable
- Always consider the overall market direction - don't fight the main trend
- Practice on paper first to understand how FVGs behave in your chosen market

ICT Macro Zone Boxes w/ Individual H/L Tracking v3.1ICT Macro Zones (Grey Box Version
This indicator dynamically highlights key intraday time-based macro sessions using a clean, minimalistic grey box overlay, helping traders align with institutional trading cycles. Inspired by ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts, it tracks real-time highs and lows for each session and optionally extends the zone box after the session ends — making it a precision tool for intraday setups, order flow analysis, and macro-level liquidity sweeps.
### 🔍 **What It Does**
- Plots **six predefined macro sessions** used in Smart Money Concepts:
- AM Macro (09:50–10:10)
- London Close (10:50–11:10)
- Lunch Macro (11:30–13:30)
- PM Macro (14:50–15:10)
- London SB (03:00–04:00)
- PM SB (15:00–16:00)
- Each zone:
- **Tracks high and low dynamically** throughout the session.
- **Draws a consistent grey shaded box** to visualize price boundaries.
- **Displays a label** at the first bar of the session (optional).
- **Optionally extends** the box to the right after the session closes.
### 🧠 **How It Works**
- Uses Pine Script arrays to define each session’s time window, label, and color.
- Detects session entry using `time()` within a New York timezone context.
- High/Low values are updated per bar inside the session window.
- Once a session ends, the box is optionally closed and fixed in place.
- All visual zones use a standardized grey tone for clarity and consistency across charts.
### 🛠️ **Settings**
- **Shade Zone High→Low:** Enable/disable the grey macro box.
- **Extend Box After Session:** Keep the zone visible after it ends.
- **Show Entry Label:** Display a label at the start of each session.
### 🎯 **Why This Script is Unique**
Unlike basic session markers or colored backgrounds, this tool:
- Focuses on **macro moments of liquidity and reversal**, not just open/close times.
- Uses **per-session logic** to individually track price behavior inside key time windows.
- Supports **real-time high/low tracking and clean zone drawing**, ideal for Smart Money and ICT-style strategies.
Perfect — based on your list, here's a **bundle-style description** that not only explains the function of each script but also shows how they **work together** in a Smart Money/ICT workflow. This kind of cross-script explanation is exactly what PulseWire wants to see to justify closed-source mashups or interdependent tools.

📚 ICT SMC Toolkit — Script Integration Guide
This set of advanced Smart Money Concept (SMC) tools is designed for traders who follow ICT-based methodologies, combining liquidity theory, time-based precision, and engineered confluences for high-probability trades. Each indicator is optimized to work both independently and synergistically, forming a comprehensive trading framework.
---
First FVG Custom Time Range
**Purpose:**
Plots the **first Fair Value Gap (FVG)** that appears within a defined session (e.g., NY Kill Zone, Custom range). Includes optional retest alerts.
**Best Used With:**
- Use with **ICT Macro Zones (Grey Box Version)** to isolate FVGs during high-probability times like AM Macro or PM SB.
- Combine with **Liquidity Levels** to assess whether FVGs form near swing points or liquidity voids.
---
ICT SMC Liquidity Grabs and OB s
**Purpose:**
Detects **liquidity grabs** (stop hunts above/below swing highs/lows) and **bullish/bearish order blocks**. Includes optional Fibonacci OTE levels for sniper entries.
**Best Used With:**
- Use with **ICT Turtle Soup (Reversal)** for confirmation after a liquidity grab.
- Combine with **Macro Zones** to catch order blocks forming inside timed macro windows.
- Match with **Smart Swing Levels** to confirm structure breaks before entry.
ICT SMC Liquidity Levels (Smart Swing Lows)
**Purpose:**
Automatically marks swing highs/lows based on user-defined lookbacks. Tracks whether those levels have been breached or respected.
**Best Used With:**
- Combine with **Turtle Soup** to detect if a swing level was swept, then reversed.
- Use with **Liquidity Grabs** to confirm a grab occurred at a meaningful structural point.
- Align with **Macro Zones** to understand when liquidity events occur within macro session timing.
ICT Turtle Soup (Liquidity Reversal)
**Purpose:**
Implements the classic ICT Turtle Soup model. Looks for swing failure and quick reversals after a liquidity sweep — ideal for catching traps.
Best Used With:
- Confirm with **Liquidity Grabs + OBs** to identify institutional activity at the reversal point.
- Use **Liquidity Levels** to ensure the reversal is happening at valid previous swing highs/lows.
- Amplify probability when pattern appears during **Macro Zones** or near the **First FVG**.
ICT Turtle Soup Ultimate V2
**Purpose:**
An enhanced, multi-layer version of the Turtle Soup setup that includes built-in liquidity checks, OTE levels, structure validation, and customizable visual output.
**Best Used With:**
- Use as an **entry signal generator** when other indicators (e.g., OBs, liquidity grabs) are aligned.
- Pair with **Macro Zones** for high-precision timing.
- Combine with **First FVG** to anticipate price rebalancing before explosive moves.
---
## 🧠 Workflow Example:
1. **Start with Macro Zones** to focus only on institutional trading windows.
2. Look for **Liquidity Grabs or Swing Sweeps** around key highs/lows.
3. Check for a **Turtle Soup Reversal** or **Order Block Reaction** near that level.
4. Confirm confluence with a **Fair Value Gap**.
5. Execute using the **OTE level** from the Liquidity Grabs + OB script.

ICT SMC Liquidity Grabs and OBsICT SMC Liquidity Grabs + Order Blocks + Fibonacci OTE Levels
A High-Probability Entry Engine for Smart Money Concept Traders
This script combines three powerful Smart Money Concepts (SMC) into a single tool: Liquidity Grabs, Order Block Zones, and Fibonacci OTE Levels, allowing traders to identify institutional entry models with clean, rule-based visual signals.
It’s designed to simplify SMC trading by highlighting confluence zones where price is likely to reverse or continue — with clear visual zones, entry arrows, and take profit projections.
🔍 What This Script Does:
Detects Liquidity Grabs
Identifies when price sweeps above/below the highest high or lowest low within a user-defined lookback period and closes back inside.
Plots orange labels on the chart to signal potential liquidity events (LG-H / LG-L).
Plots Order Blocks After Liquidity Grabs
After a liquidity grab, the script looks for displacement candles (strong bullish or bearish moves) and draws highlighted OB zones extending several bars to the right.
These zones represent potential institutional footprints for price reversals.
Draws Fibonacci OTE Levels (Optimal Trade Entry)
Uses recent swing high and low pivots to automatically calculate OTE zones (default: 62% and 75% retracement levels).
Draws these retracement zones for both bullish and bearish setups.
Marks Valid OTE Entry Zones
Buy/Sell zones only trigger when:
A liquidity grab occurs,
Price enters the OTE zone,
And a strong confirming candle is present.
Plots green/red arrows for valid buy/sell OTE entries.
Auto-Draws Take Profit Zones
TP1 = Previous swing high/low

ICT Turtle Soup Ultimate V2📜 ICT Turtle Soup Ultimate V2 — Advanced Liquidity Reversal System
Overview:
The ICT Turtle Soup Ultimate V2 is a next-generation liquidity reversal indicator built on the principles of smart money concepts (SMC) and the classic ICT Turtle Soup setup. It is designed to detect false breakouts (liquidity grabs) at key swing points, enhanced by proprietary logic that filters out low-quality signals using a combination of trend context, kill zone timing, candle wick behavior, and multi-timeframe imbalance zones.
This tool is ideal for intraday traders seeking high-probability entry signals near liquidity pools and imbalance zones — where smart money makes its move.
🔍 What This Script Does
🧠 Liquidity Grab Detection (Turtle Soup Core Logic)
The script scans for recent swing highs/lows using a user-defined lookback.
A signal is generated when price breaks above/below a previous swing level but closes back inside — indicating a liquidity run and likely reversal.
A special Wick Trap Mode enhances this logic by detecting long-wick fakeouts — where the wick grabs stops but the candle body closes opposite the breakout direction.
📉 Trend Filter with ATR Buffer
Optional trend filter uses a simple moving average (SMA) to gauge market direction.
Instead of hard filtering, it applies an ATR-based buffer to allow for entries near the trend line, reducing signal suppression from micro-fluctuations.
🕰️ Kill Zone Session Filtering
Only show signals during institutional trading hours:
London Session
New York AM
Or any custom user-defined session
Helps traders avoid low-volume hours and focus on where stop hunts and price expansions typically occur.
🧱 Multi-Timeframe FVG Confluence (Optional)
Signal validation is strengthened by checking if price is within a higher timeframe Fair Value Gap — commonly used to identify imbalances or inefficiencies.
Filters out setups that lack underlying displacement or order flow justification.
🎨 Visual Feedback
Plots 🔺 bullish and 🔻 bearish markers at signal candles.
Optionally displays:
Swing High/Low Labels (SH / SL)
Reversal distance labels
Background color shading on valid signals
Includes built-in alerts for automated trade notification.
🔑 Unique Benefits
Wick Trap Detection: A proprietary approach to detecting stop hunts via wick behavior, not just candle closes.
ATR-based trend filtering: Avoids unnecessary filtering while still maintaining directional bias.
All-in-one system: No need to stack multiple indicators — swing detection, reversal logic, session filtering, and imbalance confirmation are all integrated.
💡 How to Use
Enable Wick Trap Mode to detect stealthy liquidity grabs with strong wicks.
Use Kill Zone filters to trade only when institutions are active.
Optionally enable FVG confluence to improve confidence in reversal zones.
Watch for Bullish signals near SL levels and Bearish signals near SH levels.
Combine with your own execution strategy or other SMC tools for optimal results.

Liquidity Levels (Smart Swing Lows)Liquidity Levels — Smart Swing Low Detection
Efficient Liquidity Sweep Visualization for Smart Money Traders
This script automatically identifies and plots liquidity-rich swing lows based on pivot logic, filters them to remove redundant levels, and overlays daily highs/lows for added context — giving Smart Money Concept (SMC) traders a clean, actionable map of liquidity.
It’s designed to be minimal yet powerful: perfect for spotting potential liquidity grabs, mitigation zones, and sweep targets with zero chart clutter.
🔍 What This Script Does:
Detects Smart Swing Lows
Uses fixed pivot detection (left = 3, right = customizable) to identify structurally significant swing lows.
Filters out swing lows that are too close together using a percentage-based spacing threshold to reduce noise.
Mitigation Cleanup Logic
Tracks whether recent price action breaches past swing lows.
If breached, the swing level is automatically removed, keeping only relevant, unmitigated liquidity levels on your chart.
Plots Daily Highs and Lows
Each new trading day, horizontal rays mark the prior day’s high and low — useful for identifying resting liquidity and possible sweep zones.
Labeling and Style Customization
Optional labels for swing lows.
Full control over label size, color, and visibility to match any chart aesthetic.
Timeframe Filtering
Runs exclusively on 5m, 10m, and 15m charts to ensure optimal reliability and signal clarity.
⚙️ Customization Features:
Pivot sensitivity (Right side control)
Minimum distance between swing lows (in %)
Label visibility, size, and color
Line width and colors for both swing levels and daily highs/lows
Mitigation cleanup lookback length
💡 How to Use:
Add the script to a qualifying intraday chart (5–15m).
Use the swing low levels to monitor liquidity-rich zones.
Combine with your personal strategy to identify liquidity grabs, potential reversal zones, or entry points following a sweep.
Let the built-in cleanup logic remove any already-mitigated levels so you can focus on active targets.
🚀 What Makes It Unique:
This isn’t just another pivot plotter — it’s a smart, self-cleaning SMC tool designed for modern liquidity-based trading strategies.
A must-have for traders using concepts like liquidity grabs, mitigation blocks, or sweep-to-reverse trade models.
🔗 Best used in combination with:
✅ First FVG — Opening Range Fair Value Gap Detector: Pinpoint the day’s first imbalance zone for intraday setups.
✅ ICT SMC Liquidity Grabs + OB + Fibonacci OTE Levels: Confluence-based entries powered by liquidity logic, order blocks, and premium/discount zones.
Used together, these scripts form a complete Smart Money toolkit — helping you build high-probability setups with confidence, clarity, and clean charts. Indicator
First FVG Custom Time RangeFirst FVG — Opening Range Fair Value Gap Detector
Smart Money Opening Imbalance Strategy Tool
This script automatically detects and highlights the first Fair Value Gap (FVG) that forms between 9:30 and 10:00 AM Eastern Time (New York session open) — a critical period often referred to as the Opening Range. It’s designed for Smart Money traders looking to isolate early-morning inefficiencies that may influence market behavior throughout the trading day.
🔍 What This Script Does:
Automatically Detects the First FVG in the Opening Range
Scans price action between 9:30 and 10:00 AM ET and identifies the first valid bullish or bearish FVG that forms.
Only one FVG is shown per day — ensuring a clean, focused view.
Draws a Visual Zone
Once detected, the FVG zone is extended forward on the chart (customizable duration).
A labeled zone helps users track how price reacts to it throughout the session.
Optional Retest Alerts
Alerts you when price re-enters the zone — a potential reaction point used by SMC traders.
Customization Options
Set your preferred session time window
Adjust zone duration (in bars)
Customize label font size, colors, and visibility
Enable/disable alert on retest
📈 Why the First FVG Matters:
Time-Sensitive Setup: The first FVG typically forms no earlier than 9:31 AM ET and represents a potential “time distortion” or imbalance zone created by aggressive market participants during the open.
Behavioral Study: Many traders journal how price behaves around this zone each day — whether it acts as support, resistance, or gets traded through later in the session.
Predictive Value: Observing how this zone is respected or broken can provide anticipatory insight into intraday price action, rather than reactive analysis.
Great for New Traders: This opening FVG is often recommended as a starting reference point for building trade models and understanding how institutional imbalances unfold.
🚀 What Makes It Unique:
This tool doesn’t spam your chart with every FVG. It laser-focuses on a single, time-bound zone backed by institutional logic — the first presented imbalance of the day during the opening range.
Use it to:
Monitor price behavior around early inefficiencies
Plan journal entries and pattern recognition
Align intraday setups with a high-probability SMC model
Whether you’re scalping, journaling market structure, or refining entries based on liquidity behavior — this script helps you make the first 30 minutes count.
