Institutional Moves DetectorIndicator Name: Institutional Pattern Detector
What It Does:
Trend Following: It uses a Moving Average (MA) to understand the general direction of the price. The MA is like a smoothed-out line of the price over time, showing if the price trend is going up or down.
Volatility Measurement: The script employs Bollinger Bands (BB) to see how much the price is fluctuating. Bollinger Bands create an upper and lower "channel" around the price, which gets wider or narrower based on how volatile the price is.
Volume Check: It looks at trading volume to find times when there's unusually high activity, which could mean big players (institutions like banks or funds) are trading. It flags this when the volume is 1.5 times more than the average volume of the last 100 bars.
Pattern Detection for Trading Signals:
Entry Signal ("IN"): When there's high volume and the price is above the upper Bollinger Band, it suggests there might be strong buying from big institutions. This could mean the price might keep going up.
EXIT Signal ("OUT"): If there's high volume and the price falls below the lower Bollinger Band, it indicates possible strong selling pressure from institutions, suggesting the price might go down.
Visual Cues:
An orange label "IN" appears below the price bar for entry signals.
A red label "OUT" appears above the price bar for exit signals.
The moving average line is plotted on the chart in orange to help you see the trend.
Alerts: The script can alert you when these entry or exit signals occur, so you can get notifications without needing to stare at the chart all day.
For New Traders:
This indicator helps you spot when big traders might be influencing the market, potentially giving you a clue about when to enter or exit.
Remember, this is one tool among many. You should not base your trading solely on this; combine it with other analysis methods.
It's always wise to practice with a demo account before using real money to get a feel for how these signals work in actual market conditions.
Institutionalorderflow
ICT Institutional Order Flow (fadi)ICT Institutional Order Flow indicator is intended to provide wholistic view to better analyze order flow and where price may go to next. The concept follows ICT principles.
ICT Market Structure
ICT breaks down Pivot points into three categories:
Short Term High/Low (STH/STL) is a 3 candle pattern with a low with higher low on each side (STL), or a high with lower high on each side (STH)
Intermediate Term High/Low (ITH/ITL) uses the calculated STH/STL and marks any STH that has lower or STH on each side, and STL that has higher STL on each side
Long Term High/Low (LTH/LTL) uses the calculated ITH/ITL and marks any ITH that has lower or ITH on each side, and ITL that has higher ITL on each side
Note: ICT also states that if a STH wicks into and closes (almost?) a FVG, he marks it as ITH even if it does not have STH on reach side. This scenario is not covered by this indicator
Liquidity
liquidity is usually present under pivot points. The more prominent the pivot point, the more likely higher values liquidity pools reside under/above it. Liquidity under ITL and LTL as an example, will have better indication of which liquidity the price may seek next.
Displacement
Displacement registers above average move in the price resulting in strong visible move. If requiring a FVG is enabled (in settings), then the displacement could possibly (but never guaranteed) be used to visually recognize a move as it develops.
Full Credit: The calculation for Displacement is derived from TFO's Visualizing Displacement
Imbalances
Imbalances can come in different forms. This indicator identifies three type of imbalances:
1. FVG
2. Volume Imbalance
3. Open Gaps
Imbalances completes the picture by help visualize strong moves, where possible pivot points may develop, and how to enter or manage a trade.
