CM Capital (Market Structure Pro)

Overview:
The CM Capital (Market Structure Pro) Indicator is a groundbreaking tool for traders seeking a comprehensive market analysis. This closed-source script merges multiple facets of market dynamics into a single, user-friendly interface, designed to enhance decision-making by providing a multi-dimensional view of market behavior. By combining advanced market structure detection, liquidity event identification, Fair Value Gap analysis, and session-specific insights, this indicator offers traders a strategic advantage in navigating the complexities of financial markets.

Key Functionalities:

Market Structure Insights:
Break of Structure (BOS) and Market Structure Shifts (MSS):
Methodology: Our approach uses fractal analysis coupled with custom algorithms to dissect price movements, identifying pivotal moments where market structure breaks or shifts. The script evaluates candle patterns, volume data, and price momentum to flag these events.
Customization: Users can choose between candle close or wick confirmations and select from various line styles for visualization, tailoring the sensitivity to match their trading strategy, whether it's scalping or swing trading.
Utility: These markers act as early signals for trend changes, allowing traders to prepare for potential reversals or continuations, especially useful in volatile markets where timely decisions are crucial.

Structure Strength:
Highs and Lows Definition: The 'Structure Strength' setting in this indicator directly influences the identification of structure highs and lows. It's not just about detecting market structure; it's about defining what constitutes a significant high or low based on your trading horizon.
Swing vs. Internal Structure:
Lower Strength: Opting for a lower strength setting will highlight more extreme, swing-type structures. This means the indicator will mark out only the most pronounced highs and lows, which are ideal for traders focusing on broader market swings or longer-term trends.
Higher Strength: Conversely, increasing the strength level plots more internal structure levels. This setting is perfect for traders who want to dive into the market's micro-movements, offering insights into potential support and resistance within ongoing trends, essentially capturing more reactive and detailed price action.
Strategic Application: This adjustable parameter allows traders to zoom in or out on the market structure, aligning with their trading style or the specific market conditions they're navigating. Whether you're looking to catch significant market turns or to finesse entries and exits within a trend, the structure strength setting provides the granularity needed for nuanced market analysis.

Liquidity Sweeps:
Detection: Beyond traditional price action analysis, our indicator incorporates a unique method to spot liquidity sweeps. By analyzing price movements against historical support/resistance zones, it highlights instances where significant orders might have been absorbed, suggesting areas of potential price reversal or continuation.
Visualization: Liquidity sweeps are visually marked with customizable colors and an 'X' label, making them instantly recognizable. This feature is particularly beneficial for traders looking to enter or exit trades based on market inefficiencies or anticipated institutional activity.
Application: Traders can use these signals to anticipate where the market might react strongly, either as support for entries or as a caution for exits, enhancing trade precision.

Fair Value Gaps (FVGs):
Identification: Our proprietary FVG detection algorithm looks for price discrepancies over recent bars, signaling where the market could aim to rebalance. This is not merely about spotting gaps but understanding their context within the market's flow.
Enhanced Visualization: Users can extend FVGs across the chart, providing a clearer view of potential mean reversion points or continuation levels, aiding in setting targets or stop-losses.
Strategic Use: FVGs serve as dynamic levels where traders might expect price action to revisit, offering opportunities for mean reversion trades or confirming trend strength.

Session Visualization:
Session Markers: By delineating Asia, London, and New York session times, the indicator helps traders recognize session-specific volatility, trends, and liquidity conditions. Each session can be customized for color and duration, aligning with various trading strategies.
Timeframe Correlation: Integrating session analysis with structural and liquidity insights allows for a strategy where trades are timed not just by price action but by when in the global market cycle they occur, potentially increasing the effectiveness of entry and exit points.

Watermark Display:
Personalization: Add a personal touch or brand identity to your charts with customizable text and color options for the watermark, enhancing both the aesthetic and functional aspects of your trading setup.

Originality:
This script's originality lies in its holistic approach to market analysis. The integration of these diverse yet synergistic components provides a unique toolset:
Confluence of Signals: Each element enhances the others, creating a confluence where structural changes, liquidity events, and time-based market conditions are analyzed in concert, offering a more complete trading signal than isolated indicators.
Customization for Diverse Trading Styles: From high-frequency scalping to long-term trend following, the script's flexibility caters to a broad spectrum of trading strategies by allowing adjustments in sensitivity, visualization, and application.

How to Use:
Setup: Add the script to your chart and explore the settings in the input panel. Customize the visual and functional aspects to align with your trading style.

Strategy Application:
Use BOS/MSS for trend confirmation, liquidity sweeps for entry/exit precision, FVGs for mean reversion opportunities, and session markers to time your trades optimally.
Consider combining signals for stronger trade validation; for instance, a BOS during the London session might be more significant if it coincides with a liquidity sweep and an FVG from the Asian session.

C|M Capital (Market Structure Pro) - Update

This update refines the indicator for enhanced clarity and functionality in market structure analysis:

Removed Liquidity Sweep Feature: Eliminated the liquidity sweep detection and visualization (including settings for sweep style, color, and labels) to streamline the indicator, as per user preference to avoid complex sweep logic, Sweeps where not functioning the way they was supposed to.

Unified FVG Colors: Replaced separate bullish (green) and bearish (red) FVG colors with a single light gray (black, 80% transparency) for consistent visualization.

Added Inverted FVG (iFVG) Detection: Introduced logic to highlight iFVGs in blue when a bullish FVG overlaps a bearish one (or vice versa), improving identification of potential reversal zones.

Updated Session Times: Adjusted session times to align with standard trading hours (Asia: 2300-0700, London: 0800-1300, New York: 1430-1800, in UK time) for better accuracy.

Simplified Timezone Handling: Replaced individual session timezones (asiaTimezone, londonTimezone, newYorkTimezone) with a unified "Europe/London" timezone for consistency and removed the unused sessionDuration parameter from the drawSessionBox function.

These changes enhance the indicator’s focus on market structure, FVGs, and session analysis while maintaining performance and visual clarity. Feedback is welcome!

Notes de version

We've released an update to enhance the C|M Capital (Market Structure Pro) indicator, addressing key issues for improved functionality:

Fixes:

Timeframe Compatibility: Fixed an issue where the Previous Highs/Lows feature failed on certain timeframes due to invalid bar index calculations. The script now uses time-based coordinates (xloc.bar_time) for reliable performance across all timeframes, including 3m and 4m charts.

Namespace Error: Resolved an "undeclared identifier 'line'" error in the f_drawPrevHL function, ensuring stable line-drawing for daily, weekly, and monthly highs/lows.

Watermark Display: Corrected an issue where the watermark text might not display consistently on some charts, ensuring the customizable watermark (top and bottom text) appears correctly with the selected size and color settings.


Bugs are all fixed and indicator works how it is supposed to.
