Multi Hourly ATP (Average Trade Price)"Multi-timeframe average trade price" analysis combines two concepts: using the Average Trade Price (ATP) as a benchmark and applying a multi-timeframe analysis (MTFA) trading strategy. The benefits stem from using the ATP for position management and MTFA for better-informed trading decisions.
Benefits of Averaging the Trade Price
Averaging the trade price (using methods like "averaging down" or "averaging up," or the Volume-Weighted Average Price - VWAP) helps investors manage their positions and costs.
Better Cost Basis Assessment: The ATP provides a clear benchmark for your overall cost per share, including fees. This helps you understand your true breakeven point and accurately assess whether a position is currently profitable or at a loss.
Risk Mitigation: In a falling market, buying more shares at a lower price (averaging down) reduces the average purchase price, which means the stock does not have to recover to its initial price for you to break even or make a profit.
Profit Accumulation: In a rising market, buying more shares as the price increases (averaging up or pyramiding) allows you to accumulate more profits if the upward trend continues, increasing your overall position size in a winning trade.
Emotional Discipline: By following a predefined averaging strategy, traders can reduce the impact of emotional decisions like panic selling or holding onto losing trades for too long.
Managing Volatility: Averaging helps smooth out the impact of short-term price fluctuations on your overall portfolio performance, which is particularly useful in volatile markets.
Candlestick analysis
SMA vs Candle True CloudSMA vs Candle – Trend Cloud Indicator (Brief Note)
This indicator compares price (candle source) with a long-period Hull Moving Average (SMA) to identify trend direction, momentum shifts, and regime changes.
The SMA, being momentum-sensitive, reacts to changes in price speed, while price itself represents real-time market action.
A dynamic two-way cloud is drawn between price and SMA:
Green cloud when price is above SMA → bullish dominance and accumulation
Red cloud when price is below SMA → bearish control and distribution
The width of the cloud reflects the strength of momentum:
Narrow cloud → compression / consolidation
Expanding cloud → impulse move or trend acceleration
This setup is especially effective on short timeframes with long SMA periods, where it filters noise while preserving early trend signals.
Overall, the indicator acts as a visual trend-momentum framework, highlighting early warnings, trend confirmation, and exhaustion zones in a single view.

Power Bar SMA Directional (Trade Your Edge)GENERAL OVERVIEW:
The Power Bar SMA Directional (Trade Your Edge) indicator identifies high-momentum Power Bars and uses a structured SMA-based breakout model to generate Long and Short trading signals. Once a signal appears, the indicator automatically places a Stop-Loss and three Take-Profit levels, with an optional dynamic trailing stop-loss. Alerts are available for every trade event.
This indicator was developed by Flux Charts in collaboration with Steven Adams (Trade Your Edge).
What is the purpose of the indicator?:
The purpose of the Power Bar SMA Indicator is to turn an unusually strong candle (Power Bar) into a complete, rule-based trade setup. The indicator does three main things, very specifically:
It spots “power bars”. These are candles where the body is both large compared to the candle’s own range and large compared to nearby candles.
It only cares about power bars when they align with the trend’s direction: bullish or bearish.
When that happens, the indicator gives a buy or sell signal with an entry at the signal candle, a stop-loss at the low/high of the power bar, and three take-profit targets placed at fixed multiples of the entry to stop-loss distance. You can also have the stop move up/down after each target is hit with the trailing stop-loss feature.
What’s the theory behind the indicator?:
The theory behind this indicator is that large, one-sided candles often mark the start of directional strength. When a candle’s body takes up most of its total range and exceeds the average size of recent candlesticks, it shows clear control from either buyers or sellers. The indicator combines this concept with a simple moving average to confirm trend direction, ensuring signals only align with the current bias. It then checks if price breaks a recent swing high or low to confirm momentum is continuing rather than consolidating inside a range. By combining three core elements: trend bias, momentum identification, and confirmation that price has room for new discovery beyond prior ranges, the indicator can focus on finding trade setups that have multiple market factors in alignment.
POWER BAR SMA DIRECTIONAL FEATURES:
The Power Bar SMA Directional indicator includes 4 main features:
Power Bars
Trend Bias
Long / Short Signals + Risk Management
Alerts
POWER BARS:
🔹What are Power Bars?:
Power Bars are large, high-momentum candles that show strength in one direction of the market. They form when a candle’s body (the distance between open and close) dominates most of the candle’s total range (the distance between high and low), meaning price moved strongly in one direction with little to no pullback. To qualify, the candle must also be large relative to nearby candles. This size difference confirms that the candle is a burst of momentum.
🔹How to interpret and use Power Bars:
When a Power Bar forms, it signals that price has just made a strong directional move with little to no pullback. Traders can use these bars to identify momentum shifts and potential trade setups.
A bullish Power Bar means buyers controlled the entire candle, marking the start of upward momentum. A bearish Power Bar means sellers were in control of the entire candle, signaling the start of downwards momentum. In the Power Bar SMA Directional indicator, these candles are only used for signals when they align with the market trend and satisfy other entry requirements, mentioned later on.
Bullish Power Bars forming above the Simple Moving Average (SMA) can signal potential long opportunities.
Bullish Power Bars forming below the SMA can signal potential short opportunities.
🔹How are Power Bars identified:
Power Bars are detected and confirmed only after the candle closes, ensuring that the full candlestick body and range can be measured. The indicator does not repaint or change past bars. Once a Power Bar is confirmed, it stays fixed on the chart. Power Bars can be detected on any timeframe or symbol that produces standard candlestick data.
The indicator identifies Power Bars using two user-defined inputs: Sensitivity and Body %.
◇ Sensitivity:
The Sensitivity setting determines how large a candle’s body must be relative to nearby candles. It uses the Average True Range (ATR) to compare the current candle’s size with recent candles, and the Sensitivity value acts as a multiplier of that ATR. A higher Sensitivity value means the candle must be much larger than recent candles to qualify, so fewer Power Bars will form. A lower value makes the filter less strict, allowing more candles to qualify.
◇ Body %:
The Body % setting controls what percentage of the candle’s total range must be body rather than Wick. A higher value requires the body to take up more of the candle’s total range, so fewer candles pass the filter. A lower value allows candles with more wick to qualify, so more Power Bars will form.
Body % Example:
If Body % is set to 50, the candle body must cover at least half of the candle’s total range. For example, if a candle’s high is $11, its low is $10, its open is $10.20, and its close is $10.80, then the total range is $1 ($11 - $10) and the body is $0.60 ($10.80 - $10.20). Body % = (Body / Total Range) * 100 = (0.60 ÷ 1.00 × 100) = 60%. Since 60% is greater than the input of 50%, this candle passes the Body % criteria.
Once a candlestick closes and it meets both the Sensitivity and Body % requirements, it will be plotted in a different color, using barcolor() function. Users can adjust the bullish/bearish colors of Power Bars by adjusting the ‘Candle Coloring’ setting. The Power Bar candle coloring is purely visual and does not affect signal logic or strategy calculations.
TREND BIAS:
The indicator uses a Simple Moving Average (SMA) to determine overall trend direction and ensure that long/short signals align with the market bias.
When the SMA is sloping upward and price is trading above it, the market is considered to be in a bullish trend. In this case, only long setups are allowed. When the SMA is sloping downward and price is below it, the market is considered bearish, and only short setups are valid. This filtering ensures that every signal follows the current trend rather than fighting it.
Within the settings, the SMA length can be customized to match different trading styles. A shorter SMA period reacts more quickly to price changes, making it better suited for scalping or lower timeframes where traders want faster entries and exits. A longer SMA period responds more slowly, which smooths out smaller fluctuations and is more useful for day traders or swing traders who focus on larger trends. By default, the SMA length is set to 20.
Signals on SEED_ALEXDRAYM_SHORTINTEREST2:NQ 5-minute timeframe with a 10 SMA vs. 100 SMA:
🔹Why does the indicator include a trend filter?:
This indicator is built around the assumption that markets tend to continue moving in their current direction. Thus, if the trend is bullish, it’s assumed that price will continue moving higher. If the trend is bearish, it’s assumed that price will continue moving lower. By combining the SMA filter with the momentum logic of the power bars, the indicator avoids countertrend setups. This keeps signals focused on continuation setups where both the trend and short-term strength (momentum) are in agreement.
LONG/SHORT SIGNALS:
This indicator identifies potential trade setups by combining momentum, trend alignment, and structural confirmation. It detects when a Power Bar candle appears, and then looks for confirmation that the move is valid through trend alignment and a structure break.
There are three long setups and three short setups:
Momentum Breakout
Proximity Breakout
Delayed Breakout
All setups require:
A valid Power Bar forming in the correct context relative to the SMA.
A break of nearby structure (defined by the Swing Length setting).
🔹Signal Settings:
◇ SMA Distance:
This setting defines how close a Power Bar must be to the SMA to qualify for the proximity breakout setup type. It measures the maximum allowed distance between the Power Bar’s open price and the SMA, expressed as a multiple of the Average True Range (ATR).
This setting only affects Setup #2 (Proximity Breakout) and sometimes Setup #3 (Delayed Breakout). Setup #1 does not use this filter because its logic depends on price crossing the SMA or confirming later. In proximity setups, the power bar candle must both open and close on the same side of the SMA (bullish or bearish) while still being within the allowed SMA Distance range. This condition prevents signals when price is stretched too far away from the SMA, which could indicate exhaustion or a potential pullback rather than continuation.
A lower SMA Distance value tightens this filter, allowing only Power Bars that form very close to the SMA, resulting in fewer but more conservative signals. A higher SMA Distance value gives wiggle room and allows setups that form farther from the SMA, generating more frequent signals.
In the example below, when the SMA Distance is set to 0.5 (left chart), the bullish Power Bar does not trigger a long signal because its opening price is too far from the SMA. When the SMA Distance is increased to 1.0 (right chart), the same candle now falls within the allowed range, making the setup valid and displaying a long signal label.
◇ Swing Length:
The Swing Length setting defines how the indicator identifies recent structure levels used for breakout confirmation. These structure levels are swing highs and swing lows, which represent points where price reversed direction over a specified number of bars. The indicator uses these high/low levels to determine whether price has broken past a meaningful area of prior support or resistance before confirming a trade setup.
The Swing Length value determines how far back the indicator looks when calculating these points. Internally, it uses the Highest/Lowest method, scanning the last N bars (where N is the Swing Length input) to find the highest high and lowest low within that range.
The highest high becomes the immediate resistance level for potential long setups.
The lowest low becomes the immediate support level for potential short setups.
A lower Swing Length value makes the indicator reference closer levels. This increases the number of potential signals because nearby highs and lows are easier for price to reach.
A higher Swing Length value references farther structure levels, typically major swing points, which reduces signal frequency.
Every setup requires a structure break for confirmation. The Swing Length setting directly affects how strict or lenient the entire indicator behaves for each setup type.
In Setup #1 (Baseline Momentum Breakout) and Setup #2 (Trend-Aligned Proximity Breakout), the Power Bar must break the structure level during or immediately after its formation.
In Setup #3 (Delayed Breakout Confirmation), the same Swing Length level is referenced for a limited number of candles defined by the Candles Between Confirmation setting.
◇ Candles Between Confirmation:
The Candles Between Confirmation setting defines how long the indicator will wait for price to confirm a breakout after a qualifying Power Bar forms. It represents the maximum number of bars allowed between the Power Bar’s close and the moment when price breaks the nearby structure level, which is derived from the Swing Length setting. The structure level is defined as the most recent swing high (for long setups) or swing low (for short setups).
If a structure break occurs within the specified window, a valid signal is triggered, and the Long or Short label is plotted at the close of the breakout candle. If price fails to break through the level within a certain number of candles, the setup is invalidated. This ensures that signals only appear when momentum follows through promptly, and not when price stalls or consolidates for an extended period.
Lower values make confirmations stricter, capturing only quick momentum breakouts. Higher values allow more time for slower markets or higher timeframes to complete structure breaks. Adjust this setting based on market volatility and trading style.
In the example below, when Candles Between Confirmation is set to 10, no signal appears because price breaks the swing high after 15 bars, which is greater than the allowed limit. When the setting is increased to 15, the same move qualifies, and a long signal is triggered as price breaks the swing high 15 candles after the initial bullish Power Bar that crossed the SMA.
🔹Long Setups:
Long Setup #1: Momentum Breakout
A bullish Power Bar opens below the SMA, and closes above it, showing buyer strength.
A breakout must occur during this bullish Power Bar candle through a nearby resistance level derived from the Swing Length setting.
When this breakout occurs, a Long Signal appears at bar close.
After a signal appears, three take-profit levels and one stop-loss level are also plotted.
Stop-Loss: Placed at the Power Bar’s low.
Take-Profit 1: Set using a 1:1 risk distance from the Stop-Loss to entry.
Take-Profit 2: Extends to 1:1.5 risk-to-reward.
Take-Profit 3: Extends to 1:2 risk-to-reward.
(Power Bars are white in this image)
Long Setup #2: Proximity Breakout
A bullish Power Bar opens and closes above the SMA, but is still close enough to it to show price hasn’t extended too far. (Refer to SMA Distance setting). As long as the opening of that candle is within the SMA Distance threshold, the setup remains valid.
The bullish Power Bar candle must break through the recent swing high (refer to Swing Length setting).
A Long Signal triggers when that breakout is confirmed.
After a signal appears, three take-profit levels and one stop-loss level are also plotted, similar to Long Setup #1.
(Power Bars are white in this image)
Long Setup #3: Delayed Breakout
A bullish Power Bar appears in a valid location (Refer to Long Setup #1 or Long Setup #2), but structure is not broken immediately.
The indicator waits for confirmation within the maximum Candles Between Confirmation window. If price breaks structure within that time, a Long Signal appears. If price fails to break structure in time, the setup is discarded.
Risk Management:
Same Stop-Loss, TP 1, TP 2, and TP 3 logic as Long Setup #1
(Power Bars are white in this image)
🔹Short Setups:
Short Setup #1: Momentum Breakout
A bearish Power Bar opens above the SMA, and closes below it, showing seller strength.
A breakout must occur during this bearish Power Bar candle through a nearby support level derived from the Swing Length setting.
When this breakout occurs, a Short Signal appears at bar close.
After a signal appears, three take-profit levels and one stop-loss level are also plotted.
Stop-Loss: Placed at the Power Bar’s high.
Take-Profit 1: Set using a 1:1 risk distance from the Stop-Loss to entry.
Take-Profit 2: Extends to 1:1.5 risk-to-reward.
Take-Profit 3: Extends to 1:2 risk-to-reward.
(Power Bars are white in this image)
Short Setup #2: Proximity Breakout
A bearish Power Bar opens and closes below the SMA, but is still close enough to it to show price hasn’t extended too far. (Refer to SMA Distance setting). As long as the opening of that candle is within the SMA Distance threshold, the setup remains valid.
The bearish Power Bar candle must break through the recent swing low (refer to Swing Length setting).
A Short Signal triggers when that breakout is confirmed.
After a signal appears, three take-profit levels and one stop-loss level are also plotted, similar to Short Setup #1.
(Power Bars are white in this image)
Short Setup #3: Delayed Breakout
A bearish Power Bar appears in a valid location (Refer to Short Setup #1 or Short Setup #2), but structure is not broken immediately.
The indicator waits for confirmation within the maximum Candles Between Confirmation window. If price breaks structure within that time, a Short Signal appears. If price fails to break structure in time, the setup is discarded.
Risk Management:
Same Stop-Loss, TP 1, TP 2, and TP 3 logic as Long Setup #1
(Power Bars are white in this image)
🔹Trailing Stop-Loss Feature:
When the Trailing Stop-Loss setting is enabled, the Stop-Loss (SL) automatically adjusts as price reaches take-profit levels. This feature helps secure profits while keeping the trade logic completely rule-based and non-discretionary.
Here’s exactly how it works step-by-step:
Initial Stop-Loss placement:
For a Long trade, the initial SL is set at the low of the bullish Power Bar that triggered the setup.
For a Short trade, the initial SL is set at the high of the bearish Power Bar that triggered the setup.
This level stays fixed until one of the Take-Profit targets is reached.
After TP 1 is hit:
The SL automatically moves to the entry price (breakeven).
After TP2 is hit:
The SL automatically moves to TP 1
Final exit condition:
The trade is considered complete once either the trailing Stop-Loss or TP 3 is reached.
🔹Visualization:
Users can enable or disable:
Long Signals

Take-Profit Lines
Take-Profit Labels
Stop-Loss Lines
Stop-Loss Labels
Signal Line
SMA
◇ Signal Line:
The Signal Line is an optional visual feature that helps users see exactly which structure level the indicator is using to confirm a breakout. It does not change how signals are generated. It only displays the reference point on the chart.
Users can customize the Signal Line style (Dashed, Dotted, Solid) and choose different colors for bullish and bearish signal lines. The Signal Line can also be turned off completely. When disabled, signals will not be affected.
ALERTS:
The indicator supports alerts, so you never miss a key market move. You can choose to receive alerts for each of the following conditions:
Long Signal
Short Signal
TP 1 (Take-Profit 1)
TP 2 (Take-Profit 2)
TP 3 (Take-Profit 3)
SL (Stop-Loss)
UNIQUENESS:
This indicator automates a strategy that is normally managed manually using multiple steps: identifying large momentum candles, validating trend direction, confirming breakout strength through structure, and then projecting clean risk-based targets. The SMA Distance filter, confirmation window, and swing structure rules work together to ensure signals only trigger when momentum (Power Bars) aligns with technical levels. This indicator turns Power Bars into complete trade ideas with real-time SL/TP management and alerts.

+1.50+ pips/bar = Strong uptrend
-0.10 to -0.50 pips/bar = Weak downtrend
-0.50 to -1.50 pips/bar = Moderate downtrend
-1.50+ pips/bar = Strong downtrend
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
STEP 4: TRADING STRATEGIES
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
✅ CONTINUATION PLAY:
If Asia = +1.2 pips/bar AND London = +0.8 pips/bar
→ Look for LONG entries during NY session
✅ REVERSAL PLAY:
If Asia = +2.5 pips/bar (strong) AND London = -0.3 pips/bar
→ Momentum shifted, watch for reversal
✅ STRONGEST SESSION:

Market Phase Dashboard MTFGetting into a trade is the easy part. if anyone out there could use a little assistance in knowing when to exit a trade this ones for you..
This is a Market Phase Dashboard MTF (Multi-Timeframe) that classifies market conditions into 4 distinct phases based on trend + momentum alignment. Here's what it does:
The 4 Market Phases:
CONTINUATION 🟢 - Uptrend (EMA rising) + Strong momentum (RSI > 55)
Translation: "Trend is strong, keep riding it"
SLOWING 🟠 - Two scenarios:
Uptrend but momentum fading (RSI ≤ 55), OR
Downtrend but momentum not fully committed (RSI ≥ 45)
Translation: "Trend losing steam, be cautious"
EXHAUSTION 🔴 - Downtrend (EMA falling) + Weak momentum (RSI < 45)
Translation: "Trend is dying, possible reversal coming"
NEUTRAL ⚪ - Anything that doesn't fit above (shouldn't happen much with these thresholds)
Multi-Timeframe View:
Shows phases for:
Chart TF - Whatever timeframe you're viewing (only updates on confirmed bar close)
5m - Always shows 5-minute phase
15m - Always shows 15-minute phase
Visual Cues:
Background color changes based on the live chart timeframe phase (updates in real-time, not waiting for bar close)
Table shows confirmed phases for all timeframes
Practical Use:
Helps you understand if different timeframes are aligned. For example:
All 3 showing CONTINUATION = strong aligned trend, high confidence trades
15m EXHAUSTION but 5m CONTINUATION = possible short-term bounce in downtrend
Mixed signals = choppy/transitional market, stay cautious
It's basically a trend health checker across multiple timeframes at a glance! I am also in the works of adding every higher time frame so that it will consist of 5 min all the way to the 12 mo time frame i will keep you guys updated as i update this indicator.
Gold Sniper MGC1! - M30 Precision vPOCThis Pine Script, titled "Gold Sniper MGC1! - M30 Precision vPOC," is a high-precision intraday trading tool designed specifically for Micro Gold (MGC1!) futures. It integrates Market Profile and Volume Profile logic to identify key institutional levels across various trading sessions.
Core Functionality
The script identifies and plots the Volume Point of Control (vPOC)—the price level with the highest traded volume—for specific time windows:
P.vPOC (Previous vPOC): Calculated using a Daily VWAP sync to align perfectly with institutional data from the previous day.
vPOC Today: Tracks the developing Point of Control for the current global session (18:00 - 17:00).
Killzone vPOCs: Specifically isolates the highest volume price levels for the Asia (02h-08h), London (08h-14h), and New York (14h-17h) sessions.
Key Technical Features
Institutional Alignment: By utilizing request.security and hl2 median price calculations on a 30-minute basis, the script filters out market noise and aligns with the structural levels used by "Smart Money".
Dynamic Labels (Vignettes): Each level is projected to the right of the price action with a color-coded label. These labels dynamically display both the Level Name and the Exact Price (to two decimal places), facilitating rapid order entry.
Visual Hierarchy:
Black (Solid): Previous Day's Value (P.vPOC).
White (Dotted): Current Day's Developing Value.
Gold/Cyan/Orange: Specific Killzone session values.
Strategic Application
This script serves as the "Map" for the Gold Sniper MGC1! strategy. Traders use these levels to identify Liquidity Sweeps or Market Structure Shifts (MSS). When the price interacts with these vPOCs, it often signals institutional rejection or acceptance, providing high-probability entry points for intraday "Sniper" setups.

The **Liquidity Sweep Guardian** is a visual warning system designed to prevent premature counter-trend trades (fades) near Previous Day High (PDH) and Previous Day Low (PDL) levels. This indicator helps you avoid one of the most common trading mistakes: fading too early before liquidity sweeps complete.
---
## 🎯 Core Trading Principle
### **THE GOLDEN RULE: Don't Fade Until It's Unlocked**
Price often **accelerates into key levels** to sweep liquidity before reversing. Trading against this momentum is extremely dangerous.
**The Process:**
1. **Danger Zone** (Red/White Box) = ⚠️ **DO NOT FADE** - Sweep likely incoming
2. **Sweep Occurs** (Triangle marker appears) = Price penetrates the level
3. **Reclaim Happens** (Price returns above/below level) = Level is tested
4. **🔓 UNLOCKED** (Gold border, green label) = **NOW you may CONSIDER a fade**
> **Important:** "UNLOCKED" means you may now *consider* a fade setup. It is NOT a trade signal itself. You still need your entry confirmation, risk management, and trade plan.
---
## 📊 Visual Elements Explained
### 1. **Danger Zone Boxes (Red Border by Default)**
**Two types of zones around PDH/PDL:**
- **Outer Danger Zone** (White fill): ±75pts (or 0.30%) around the level
- Indicates proximity to a key level where sweeps commonly occur
- Yellow/cautious trading zone
- **Inner Critical Zone** (Black fill): ±25pts (or 0.10%) around the level
- Highest probability area for liquidity sweep traps
- Avoid fading here at all costs
**What to do:**
- When price enters these zones, **wait and watch**
- Do not initiate counter-trend positions
- Allow the sweep to play out
### 2. **Unlocked Zones (Gold Border #ffeb3b)**
When a zone turns **gold/yellow** with green fill:
- The level has been swept AND reclaimed
- The liquidity grab is complete
- You may now look for fade opportunities with proper confirmation
### 3. **PDH/PDL Lines**
- **PDH Line** (Red): Previous Day High with price label
- **PDL Line** (Green): Previous Day Low with price label
- These are your key reference levels for the session
### 4. **Sweep Labels**
**Triangle Markers (SWEEP):**
- **Green Triangle** = Clean sweep (10-25pts penetration)
- **Orange Triangle** = Extended sweep (25-50pts penetration)
- **Red Triangle** = Deep penetration (50+ pts) - likely continuation, not reversal
**Warning Labels:**
- **⚠️ DEEP CONTINUATION?** = Penetration too deep, probably NOT a reversal setup
**Unlock Labels:**
- **🔓 LONG UNLOCKED** = PDL swept and reclaimed, may consider long fades
- **🔓 SHORT UNLOCKED** = PDH swept and reclaimed, may consider short fades

## ⚙️ Settings Guide
### **Calculation Mode**
**Use Percentage Mode (Default: ON)**
- ✅ **Enabled**: Universal mode - works on NQ, ES, RTY, stocks, crypto, forex
- ❌ **Disabled**: Fixed points mode - for specific instruments only
**When to use each:**
- **Percentage Mode**: Trading multiple instruments, or instruments with varying price levels
- **Fixed Points Mode**: Single instrument focus (e.g., only trading NQ at current levels)
### **Danger Zone Settings**
**Percentage Mode (Default for Universal Use):**
- **Danger Zone**: 0.30% each side (≈75pts on NQ@25,000)
- **Critical Zone**: 0.10% each side (≈25pts on NQ@25,000)
**Fixed Points Mode (For NQ Specifically):**
- **Danger Zone**: 75 points each side
- **Critical Zone**: 25 points each side
**Adjustment Tips:**
- For more volatile instruments: Increase percentages/points
- For less volatile instruments: Decrease percentages/points
- For higher timeframes: Use wider zones
- For lower timeframes: Use tighter zones
### **Sweep Classification**
**What defines a "real" sweep:**
- **Minimum**: 10pts / 0.04% - Shallow penetration may not grab enough liquidity
- **Optimal**: 10-25pts / 0.04-0.10% - "Goldilocks zone" for reversal setups
- **Extended**: 25-50pts / 0.10-0.20% - Deeper sweep, less reliable
- **Continuation**: 50+pts / 0.20%+ - Too deep, likely NOT reversing
**Max Bars for Reclaim**: 5 bars (default)
- Price should reclaim the level relatively quickly
- If it takes too long, the sweep may have failed
### **Visual Customization**

## 🎓 Trading Strategy Examples
### **Example 1: Long Setup at PDL**
1. **Morning**: Price approaches PDL (danger zone appears)
2. **Don't Fade Yet**: Price enters critical zone - resist urge to buy
3. **Sweep**: Price drops 15pts below PDL (green triangle appears)
4. **Reclaim**: Price closes back above PDL within 3 bars
5. **🔓 UNLOCKED**: Gold border + "LONG UNLOCKED" label appears
6. **Trade Setup**: Now look for bullish confirmation (order flow, structure, etc.)
### **Example 2: Avoiding a Trap at PDH**
1. **Afternoon**: Price rallies into PDH danger zone
2. **Temptation**: You want to short here (it "looks toppy")
3. **Sweep**: Price breaks 50pts above PDH (red triangle + ⚠️ warning)
4. **Continuation**: Deep penetration suggests continuation, not reversal
5. **Result**: No unlock occurs, price keeps running higher - trap avoided!
### **Example 3: Failed Unlock (No Trade)**
1. Price sweeps PDL by 12pts (green triangle)
2. Price struggles to reclaim PDL, stays below for 10+ bars
3. No "UNLOCKED" label appears
4. **Correct Action**: Do not fade - sweep failed to reclaim

Cave Diving 3 Lines System
🤿 Cave Diving Dashboard - A Deep Dive into Market Structure
## The Cave Diving Analogy
Imagine you're a cave diver exploring underwater caverns. As you descend deeper, you encounter different layers of the cave system:
- **The Surface (Internal Levels)** - Where you currently are, constantly shifting with each breath
- **The First Chamber (De Novo Levels)** - Your last known safe position, recently established
- **Deep Caverns (External Levels)** - Ancient, untouched chambers deeper in the system
Just as a cave diver must constantly monitor their position relative to these reference points, traders must track price action against key structural levels.
---
## 🎯 Understanding the Three-Tiered System
### 📍 **INTERNAL LEVELS** (Current 15m Candle)
*Your real-time position in the market*
**Internal High** 🟡 - The highest point reached in the current unfinished 15-minute candle
**Internal Low** 🟢 - The lowest point reached in the current unfinished 15-minute candle
**Think of these as:**
- Your current depth while actively diving
- They update continuously as price moves
- Status shows "Updating" when actively changing, "Intact" when stable
- These are NOT trade levels—they're awareness zones
**Key Insight:** When Internal Low drops below De Novo Low, you're in **Situation A** (bearish pressure building)—the indicator highlights this with red coloring.
---
### 🎯 **DE NOVO LEVELS** (Previous Closed 15m Candle)
*Your most recent confirmed safe zone*
**De Novo High** 🔵 - The high of the last completed 15-minute candle
**De Novo Low** 🟣 - The low of the last completed 15-minute candle
**Etymology:** "De Novo" = Latin for "from new" or "anew"—these are freshly established reference points
**Think of these as:**
- The last solid ground you stood on
- Your most recent confirmed position
- The bridge between where you are (Internal) and where you've been (External)
**Status Tracking:**
- **⬆️ Upgrade** - Level moved favorably (Higher high for resistance, Higher low for support)
- **⬇️ Downgrade** - Level moved unfavorably (Lower high, Lower low)
- **＝ Same** - No structural change from previous candle
**Trading Significance:**
- Primary reference points for intraday structure
- Breaking De Novo levels often signals directional commitment
- Can merge with External Level 1 when they align (shown as "DN🟰Ext1")
---
### ⛽🤿 **EXTERNAL LEVELS** (Unmitigated Historical 15m Levels)
*Deep liquidity pools waiting to be discovered*
**External High 1 & 2** 🟢🔵 - The two most recent unmitigated 15m highs
**External Low 1 & 2** 🟠🌸 - The two most recent unmitigated 15m lows
**Think of these as:**
- Untouched chambers in the cave system
- Liquidity pools that smart money is targeting
- Levels that "remember" and attract price
**What Makes a Level "Unmitigated"?**
- **Highs**: Price has NOT yet traded through them (broken above)
- **Lows**: Price has NOT yet swept them (broken below)
- Once touched, they're "mitigated" and removed from tracking
- The indicator automatically maintains the two most recent unmitigated levels
**Why "External"?**
They exist outside your current candle structure—historical reference points that institutions use for:
- Stop loss placement
- Profit taking targets
- Liquidity hunting zones

- 🟡 **Internal High** - Lemon Yellow (Current ceiling)
### LOWS (Support/Stops) - Warm Colors
- 🟢 **Internal Low** - Lime (Current floor)
- 🟣 **De Novo Low** - Purple (Recent support)
- 🟠 **Ext Low 1** - Orange-Red (Primary stop zone)
- 🌸 **Ext Low 2** - Pink (Distant support)

## 🧭 The Cave Diving Mindset
**Never dive deeper than you can safely return from.**
In trading terms:
- Know your Internal position (real-time awareness)
- Respect your De Novo levels (recent structure)
- Hunt for External liquidity (where the targets are)
- Always have an exit plan (stops below Ext Lows, above Ext Highs)
The market, like a cave, has structure. This indicator illuminates that structure across three timeframes of reference, helping you navigate with precision rather than guessing in the dark.
---
## 🎓 Key Takeaways
1. **Internal** = Real-time, unfinished, awareness only
2. **De Novo** = Just confirmed, primary reference, updates every 15m
3. **External** = Historical, unmitigated, high-probability targets/stops
4. **Upgrades/Downgrades** = Trend signals
5. **DN🟰Ext1** = Structural alignment (tighter range)
6. **Situation A** = Bearish warning (Internal < De Novo Low)
---
## 📝 Credits
*"In cave diving, you plan your dive and dive your plan. In trading, you plan your levels and trade your levels."*
**Indicator:** Cave Diving Dashboard - Part 1: Price Levels
**Timeframe:** Optimized for 15-minute structure on any chart timeframe
**Philosophy:** Structure first, price second. Know where you are, where you've been, and where the liquidity waits.

Average Trading Range info box (today and historical)One small informational box, in the upper right of your chart to provide trading range information.
Line one (historical) tells you the trading range over a configurable period of time as a $ amount and as a %.
The second line (today) tells you where these values are today and the final line tells you as a %, where the values are today as a percentage of the configurable first line (14 days etc).
The third line changes color when you are 75% of the way to the historical value and red when you are at over 100% of the historical value.

Enhanced OB [promuckaj]THE ENHANCED ORDER BLOCK
Someone could think what is EOB, it should be just ordinary order block but that’s far from the truth. Sometime the classic order blocks work like a charm, then more often it doesn’t work.
If we expecting lower prices to kick in bearish and we see them create a bullish candle leaving a decent sized wick on the bottom, we want to wait for the next candle to completely close below the bullish candle.
When we see this, it should be our signal to sell the market. When price does this, it is a clear indication that price want to continue lower.
Once EOB is confirmed, look to enter short during the next candles PO3. Usually it’s going to go up but all you need is to wait that very next bar to confirm-respect our new formed EOB.
There is many ways to play this and anticipate some of the liquidity below as your safe TP target. Just imagine to use EOB from HTF on LTF. If you can then this indicator is for you, because it is exactly what is doing, it plots EOB from HTF, with lines that clearly present the last two HTF bars (bars that form the EOB), together with EOB zone of interest – from where we want to see price to pullback and respect the narrative – in this example that we are going down.
So let’s take a look how the same example (30min TF) will be on lower timeframe, for example on 1min.
... or maybe on 30 seconds timeframe.
So let’s try to play this example, with any kind of entry model. For example here we have practically the same scenario, green bar with red closed below, after price tap into EOB zone from HTF.
In this example we can anticipate entry at the pullback in LTF EOB zone, or simply from the FVG formed in the EOB confirmation bar, that is the proof that this zone will hold and push us further lower.
For target as our TP we could use simple internal structure and nearest liquidity left behind.
Easy and quick 4.6R trade.
Or if we would like to go further, this could be even better RR.
Practically almost 10R.
Let’s switch back now to 30min TF, to see how this actually look on respective timeframe of our EOB.
I hope it is more then clear, how this could be used.
There is option to change colors, lines and size of labels, including option to mark the FVG that is a part of EOB, if there is.
Also alerts is there, so you will not miss any new EOB that form on your HTF.
Enjoy !
