[TehThomas] - Order Blocks█ OVERVIEW
This Order Blocks indicator identifies institutional-level support and resistance zones using fractal pattern recognition combined with Fair Value Gap (FVG) filtering. Order blocks represent areas where large institutional orders have been placed, creating significant price reactions when retested. This indicator uses a 5-bar fractal pattern to detect market structure breaks and highlights the last bearish or bullish candle before a strong impulse move.
█ KEY FEATURES
- Fractal-Based Detection: Uses 5-candle fractal patterns to identify key market structure highs and lows
- FVG Filtering: Optional Fair Value Gap confirmation ensures order blocks are followed by true market imbalances
- Automatic Mitigation: Order blocks are automatically removed when price breaks through them
- Overlap Prevention: Prevents cluttered charts by avoiding overlapping order block zones
- Customizable Display: Full control over colors, labels, line heights (body/wick), and maximum blocks shown
- Dual Polarity: Detects both bullish (OB+) and bearish (OB-) order blocks independently
█ HOW IT WORKS
The indicator scans price action for fractal patterns where the middle candle forms a local extreme (highest high or lowest low among 5 bars). When price breaks above a fractal high or below a fractal low, the script identifies the last opposing candle in the impulse move as the order block.
For bearish order blocks, it finds the highest bullish candle before a fractal low is broken, marking institutional selling pressure. For bullish order blocks, it locates the lowest bearish candle before a fractal high is breached, indicating institutional buying.
When FVG filtering is enabled, the indicator confirms that a Fair Value Gap (a 3-candle imbalance where price leaves an unfilled gap) occurred within the specified distance from the order block. This combination increases the probability that institutional traders are present in these zones.
█ SETTINGS

- Filter by FVG: Requires Fair Value Gap confirmation
- Max Bars Between OB and FVG (1-6): Distance tolerance for FVG filtering
- Line Height: Choose between Body or Wick for order block boundaries
- Prevent Overlapping OBs: Avoids drawing overlapping zones
- Max Order Blocks to Display (1-50): Limits active blocks on chart
- Length of Boxes (10-100): Horizontal projection length
█ HOW TO USE
1. Add the indicator to your TradingView chart
2. Configure settings based on your trading timeframe and style
3. Watch for OB+ labels (bullish order blocks) as potential support zones where price may bounce
4. Watch for OB- labels (bearish order blocks) as potential resistance zones where price may reverse
5. Wait for price retracement to the order block zone before taking entries
6. Use confirmation signals like volume spikes or reversal patterns at the order block
7. Place stop loss just outside the order block boundary to manage risk
8. Monitor mitigation: Order blocks disappear when price breaks through them completely
█ TRADING STRATEGY EXAMPLES
Bullish Order Block Strategy
Wait for a market structure shift from bearish to bullish. When price creates a bullish impulse breaking a fractal high, identify the OB+ zone. Enter long positions when price retraces to test the bullish order block, placing stop loss 10-20 pips below the zone's low. Target previous highs or resistance levels.
Bearish Order Block Strategy
Monitor for market structure shift from bullish to bearish. After price creates a bearish impulse breaking a fractal low, locate the OB- zone. Enter short positions when price retraces to test the bearish order block, placing stop loss 10-20 pips above the zone's high. Target previous lows or support levels.
FVG-Confirmed Entries
Enable FVG filtering to only display order blocks validated by Fair Value Gaps. These aligned setups increase probability as they combine institutional order placement with market inefficiencies. Trade retracements to these high-confluence zones for better risk-reward ratios.
█ IDEAL FOR
- ICT Traders: Follows Inner Circle Trader methodology for institutional order flow
- Smart Money Concepts: Tracks where large players place orders
- Swing Traders: Identifies key support/resistance for multi-day holds
- Price Action Traders: Pure chart-based approach without lagging indicators
- Breakout Traders: Confirms structure breaks with fractal patterns
- Forex, Crypto, and Stock Markets: Works on all liquid markets and timeframes
█ TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

█ NOTES & DISCLAIMERS
- Order blocks work best when combined with overall market context and trend analysis
- Not all order blocks result in price reversals; use proper risk management
- FVG filtering may reduce the number of signals but increases quality
- Fractal patterns require 5 bars to form, causing a 2-bar delay in detection
- Works optimally on higher timeframes (4H, Daily) for institutional footprints
- This indicator does not guarantee profitable trades; always use stop losses
- Past performance of order blocks does not predict future results
- Compatible with other ICT concepts like liquidity sweeps and market structure

Multi-Session Volume Profile [MarkitTick]💡 This comprehensive Multi-Session Volume Profile indicator offers a sophisticated, array-based approach to Auction Market Theory. By simultaneously processing Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and Custom Session profiles, it empowers traders to visualize the migration of value across multiple timeframes without the performance overhead of standard heavy profile scripts. It is designed to identify key liquidity nodes, support/resistance zones defined by volume, and the directional bias of the market through Point of Control (POC) shifts.
✨ Originality and Utility
● Multi-Dimensional Value Analysis
Unlike standard volume profiles that often restrict users to a single timeframe or require multiple instances of an indicator, this script consolidates four distinct profile calculations into a single, efficient tool. It leverages Pine Script® arrays and custom types (`VPSlot`, `VolumeProfile`) to dynamically calculate volume distribution, ensuring minimal lag while maintaining high data granularity.
● Dynamic POC Shift Tracking
A standout feature of this utility is the "Shift Analysis." The indicator does not merely plot the current Point of Control; it calculates the delta between the current session's POC and the previous session's POC. This provides immediate visual feedback on "Value Migration"—whether the market is accepting higher prices (Bullish Shift) or lower prices (Bearish Shift).
● Granular Control via Custom Types
The script utilizes a custom quantitative structure (`type VolumeProfile`) to manage raw volume, highs, lows, and volatility slots independently for each timeframe. This allows for precise "row" calculations, ensuring that the volume distribution accurately reflects price action within the specific session, rather than broad approximations.
🔬 Methodology and Concepts
● Array-Based Bucketing
The core engine relies on a "Row Size" input to divide the session's price range into horizontal buckets (slots). As new price bars form, the script distributes the bar's volume across these slots. If a bar spans multiple slots, volume is distributed proportionally; if a bar is contained within a single slot, the total volume accumulates there. This mimics a true TPO (Time Price Opportunity) calculation using volume as the weight.
● Statistical Value Area Calculation
The Value Area (VA) is determined using a standard deviation proxy. The script identifies the POC (the slot with the highest accumulated volume) and then iteratively adds the next highest volume slots above or below the POC until the total accumulated volume reaches the user-defined percentage (default 70%).
● Session Logic and Reset
The indicator employs state-logic variables (`isNewDay`, `isNewWeek`, `isNewMonth`) to detect session boundaries. Upon a boundary cross, the `reset()` method clears the arrays and initializes a new profile, while the `draw()` method finalizes the visualization of the completed session. This ensures that the lines on the chart always represent the developing or completed structure of the specific time period.
🎨 Visual Guide
The indicator renders up to four distinct profiles, each color-coded for rapid identification.
● Daily Profile (Default: Yellow)
Solid Yellow Line: Represents the Daily POC (Point of Control)—the price level with the most volume traded today.
Dashed/Dotted Yellow Lines: Represent the Value Area High (VAH) and Value Area Low (VAL).
Yellow Background Box: Highlights the 70% Value Area, showing where the bulk of the day's trading occurred.
● Weekly Profile (Default: Blue)
Solid Blue Line: The Weekly POC. Use this to gauge the medium-term trend direction.
Blue Background: Encapsulates the weekly value area. A breakout from this zone often signals a significant trend continuation.
● Monthly Profile (Default: Purple)
Solid Purple Line: The Monthly POC. This is a high-timeframe magnet level, often acting as major support or resistance.
Purple Background: Shows the macro acceptance zone for the asset.
● Custom Session Profile (Default: Cyan)
Solid Cyan Line: Tracks the POC for a specific time window (e.g., 09:30-16:00). Ideal for isolating RTH (Regular Trading Hours) from electronic sessions.
● Labels and Shift Arrows
Right-Side Labels: Display the exact price of the POC for each active profile.
Shift Indicators (▲ / ▼): Located inside the label. A "▲" indicates the current POC is higher than the previous session's POC (Value Migration Up), while "▼" indicates the opposite.
📖 How to Use
● Trend Confirmation via Value Migration
Observe the Shift Arrows in the labels. If the Daily and Weekly profiles both show "▲" (Up Shift), it confirms that value is migrating higher, suggesting a healthy uptrend. Do not short the market when value is migrating up unless price breaks below the VAL.
● Mean Reversion Trades
When price extends far away from the POC but fails to establish value (volume) at those new levels, it often reverts back to the POC. Use the POC lines as profit targets for mean reversion strategies.
● Breakout Validation
A breakout is considered valid if price closes outside the Value Area (Background Box) and volume begins to build at the new levels. If price spikes out of the VAH but quickly returns inside the box, it is a "Failed Auction," and a rotation to the VAL is probable.
● Confluence Zones
Look for price levels where the Daily POC and Weekly VAL/VAH overlap. These "clusters" of volume act as reinforced support or resistance levels.
⚙️ Inputs and Settings
● General Settings
Row Size: Determines the resolution of the profile. Higher numbers (e.g., 100) give smoother, more precise profiles but use more resources. Lower numbers (e.g., 24) are blockier but faster.
Value Area %: The percentage of total volume to include in the VA. Standard is 70.0.
Show POC Shift Analysis: Toggles the display of the ▲/▼ drift comparison.
● Profile Toggles (Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Session)
Each section has individual toggles for Show Profile , Show Value Area , and Show Background .
Start of Week Day: Allows you to define when the weekly profile resets (e.g., Sunday or Monday).
● Alert Settings
Approach Distance (Ticks): Defines how close price must get to a POC/VAH/VAL level to trigger an "Approaching" alert.
Enable Alerts: Master switch to turn on internal alert condition checks.
🔍 Deconstruction of the Underlying Scientific and Academic Framework
● Auction Market Theory (AMT)
The script is grounded in Auction Market Theory, which posits that the market's primary purpose is to facilitate trade. Price advertises opportunity, and Volume records the acceptance of that opportunity. The "Value Area" represents the fair value established by buyers and sellers, while the POC represents the price of maximum consensus.
● Gaussian Distribution Application
The calculation of the Value Area at 70% is derived from the statistical properties of a Normal (Gaussian) Distribution, where approximately 68.2% of data points typically fall within one standard deviation of the mean. In this script, the POC acts as the mode (peak frequency), and the Value Area represents that first standard deviation of transactional volume.
● Volume-Price Integration
By integrating volume into price buckets (`VPSlot`), the indicator transforms two-dimensional time/price data into three-dimensional data (Time, Price, Volume). This reveals the "texture" of the market structure, distinguishing between high-volume nodes (strong acceptance) and low-volume nodes (rejection or emotional trading).

Blockcircle Global Central Bank Balance Sheet and Money SupplyOVERVIEW
This indicator aggregates money supply (M2) and central bank balance sheet data from the world's largest economies into a single, unified view of global liquidity conditions. Rather than manually tracking dozens of separate data feeds or building your own aggregation logic, you get a ready-to-use tool that pulls from FRED, TradingView Economics, and real-time FX rates to convert everything into USD terms automatically.
Global liquidity has historically served as a leading indicator for risk assets. When central banks expand their balance sheets and the money supply grows, capital tends to flow into equities, crypto, and other risk-on assets. When liquidity contracts, markets often follow. This indicator gives you that macro context directly on your chart.
The global liquidity movement (expansionary or contractionary) often leads to asset price appreciation/depreciation in CRYPTOCAP:BTC , SP:SPX , etc
WHAT MAKES IT ORIGINAL AND DIFFERENT
Combines both M2 money supply AND central bank balance sheet data in one place, whereas most existing tools focus on only one metric
Aggregates 11 economies for M2 (USA, EU, China, Japan, UK, Canada, India, Russia, Brazil, Australia, Switzerland) and 10 central banks for balance sheet data
Automatically handles currency conversion using live FX rates so all values display in USD
Includes a dedicated US Net Liquidity calculation (Fed Balance Sheet minus Reverse Repo minus TGA) which filters out temporary distortions that other aggregate tools ignore
Provides granular country by country breakdown in the information table so you can identify which central banks are driving the aggregate trend
Offers four moving average types (SMA, EMA, WMA, RMA) for trend smoothing with configurable length
HOW IT WORKS
The indicator requests monthly M2 data from TradingView's Economics feeds for each included country. Central bank balance sheet data is pulled the same way. All non-USD values are converted using daily FX rates from major currency pairs. The script then sums these converted values to produce the Global M2 and Global CBBS lines.
For US liquidity specifically, the script pulls weekly data for the Reverse Repo Program (RRP) and Treasury General Account (TGA) from FRED. Net Liquidity is calculated as: Fed Balance Sheet minus RRP minus TGA. This formula removes funds parked in reverse repos and Treasury cash balances, showing what is actually circulating in the financial system.
KEY FEATURES
Global M2 Money Supply line tracking 11 major economies with individual toggles for each country
Global Central Bank Balance Sheet line tracking 10 central banks with individual toggles
US-specific components, including Reverse Repo, TGA, and Net Liquidity as separate plot lines
Moving average overlays with selectable type and length for identifying trend direction
Fill the option between M2 and CBBS lines to visualize the gap between money supply and central bank assets
Value labels at line endpoints showing current readings and period-over-period percentage change
Comprehensive information table with optional country breakdown view
Full color customization for all lines, configurable line width, and style options
Alert conditions for significant M2 and CBBS changes plus MA crossover signals
HOW TO USE
Add to any chart and observe the overall direction of global liquidity. Rising lines generally support risk on positioning, while declining lines suggest caution
Watch for divergences between the M2 and CBBS lines. If money supply grows faster than central bank assets, private credit may be expanding. If CBBS rises faster, central banks are actively injecting liquidity
Use the US Net Liquidity line to understand short term dollar liquidity conditions separate from longer term global trends
Enable moving averages to filter noise and identify when liquidity trends are changing direction
Toggle individual countries on or off in the settings to see how specific regions contribute to the total
Reference the information table for exact values and percentage changes without leaving your chart
SETTINGS BREAKDOWN
Table Settings: position, text size, and whether to show the country breakdown
Display Settings: toggle visibility for each line, fill area, value labels, percent labels, and the info table
Line Styling: customize colors for each metric, adjust line width, and select solid, dashed, or dotted style
Moving Average: enable or disable MA overlays for M2 and CBBS, select MA type, and set length
Global M2 Countries: individually enable or disable each of the 11 economies
US Liquidity Components: toggle RRP and TGA data
Global CBBS Countries: individually enable or disable each of the 10 central banks
Alerts: set percentage threshold for change based alerts
IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS
Data updates depend on the publication schedule of each source. M2 and CBBS data are typically monthly with some delay. US Fed Balance Sheet, US RRP and US TGA update weekly
FX conversion uses daily close rates which may introduce minor discrepancies during volatile currency periods
Some emerging market data may have longer reporting lags than developed market data

Peak Trading Activity Graphs [LuxAlgo]The Peak Trading Activity Graphs displays four graphs that allow traders to see at a glance the times of the highest and lowest volume and volatility for any month, day of the month, day of the week, or hour of the day. By default, it plots the median values of the selected data for each period. Traders can enable the Median Delta feature to further highlight differences in the data. The graphs are customizable in width and height and feature gradient colors by default.
🔶 USAGE
The tool is simple yet powerful. Using the three main parameters on the settings panel, traders can display up to four different graphs and up to 16 different configurations.
There are two main types of data: volume and volatility. There are also four different time periods: months, days of the month, days of the week, and hours of the day. There is also the possibility of displaying the raw medians or the delta between them.
Understanding which time periods have the most and least volume and volatility is essential for any trader. From avoiding trading during periods of low volume to properly sizing positions during periods of high volatility, there are multiple use cases directly related to improving execution and risk management.
🔹 Months
This chart shows the monthly volume and volatility of NQ as medians at the top and as the delta of medians at the bottom.
As we can see on the left-hand chart, the volume is fairly consistent throughout the year. January, March, and October have the highest volume, and December has the lowest volume for obvious reasons. Note the bottom chart with the delta feature enabled, which clearly shows the top and bottom periods.
On the right, we have volatility, which is also evenly distributed throughout most months. October is the most volatile month, and March is the least volatile month. The differences are also very clear on the bottom chart with delta enabled.
Traders may want to compare median volatility and volume by month to size positions and favor exposure during historically high-activity months.
🔹 Days of Month
The same NQ charts are shown, but in this case, the Days of Month period has been selected. As you can see, this displays a calendar-like graph. The volume is on the left, the volatility is on the right, and the delta feature is enabled on the bottom charts. This feature allows for stronger differences in gradient.
The top charts show that the raw medians of both volume and volatility are evenly distributed. We need to enable the delta feature on the bottom charts to see where the most and least volume and volatility are.
Traders can use median activity by calendar day to anticipate liquidity expansions or contractions and adjust trade frequency.
🔹 Days of Week
In this case, we have BTC charts with the same layout as before. Notably, the difference in volume on weekends is not as pronounced from a volatility perspective on those same days.
A practical use case can be differentiate high-risk, high-participation weekdays from low-activity sessions to select trend or range-based strategies.
🔹 Hours of Day
This shows the volume and volatility of each hour of the day for gold futures. As we can see, the most volume and volatility occur during the three hours around the RTH open at 8:00, 9:00, and 10:00 a.m.
Traders may want to isolate hours with the highest median volatility and volume to concentrate execution and avoid low-liquidity periods.
🔹 Assets Comparison
This tool allows us to compare different assets over the same period. In this case, we are comparing the hours of the day for 10-year notes, the S&P 500, silver, and the yen. Each asset has a different volatility profile throughout the day.
With the Delta feature enabled, we can clearly see the differences. The 10Y Notes move from 7:00 to 9:00 and from 2:00 to 9:00. The Yen moves from 7:00 to 9:00 and from 2:00 to 9:00. Silver moves from 8:00 to 10:00. The S&P 500 moves from 8:00 to 9:00 and from 14:00 to 15:00. All times are in exchange time.
🔹 Sizing & Coloring Graphs
Traders can adjust the width and height of the graphs, as well as the text size, at will.
Traders can choose from four different color configurations in the settings panel.
🔶 SETTINGS
Data: Select the type of data to display: Volume or Volatility.
Period: Select the time period to display: Month, Day of Month, Day of Week, or Hours.
Display delta between medians. Display the difference between the medians as a percentage. The smaller median is 0 and the larger median is 100. Enabling this feature highlights the differences between values.
🔹 Graph

VWAP location
SMA(3) vs SMA(8)
Candle color (green/red)
WAIT State (NO CONFIRMED TRADE)
When the market is in a specific “trap regime,” the script blocks trades completely.
Grade-A setups (the only ones you trade)
✅ Grade-A Long = B+ Confirmed
A B+ print is your “Grade-A Long permission + execution alignment.”
B+ only fires when ALL are true:
Bull Permission is ON (macro score meets threshold)
WAIT is OFF
Candle is green (close > open)
Price is ABOVE VWAP
SMA(3) > SMA(8)
Translation:
Liquidity + rates are supportive, the market is positioned to move up, and price is already trading like institutions are pressing.
✅ Grade-A Short = B− Confirmed
A B− print is your “Grade-A Short permission + execution alignment.”
B− only fires when ALL are true:
Bear Permission is ON
WAIT is OFF
Candle is red (close < open)
Price is BELOW VWAP
SMA(3) < SMA(8)
Translation:
Liquidity + rates are pressuring, volatility is supportive of downside, and price is already trading under VWAP with downside momentum.
🟫 WAIT State = NO CONFIRMED TRADE
When the background turns gray (WAIT), you do nothing.
WAIT is the regime where:
downside breaks often fail
signals become unreliable
stop-hunts and reversals dominate
Your rule is simple:
WAIT = stand down until it clears.
This prevents “getting chopped to death” in the exact environment you identified as misdirection.
Step-by-step: how to use it on TradingView
Step 1 — Put it on the right instruments
Best use:
CME_MINI:NQ1! (primary)
CME_MINI:ES1!
CBOT_MINI:YM1!
CME_MINI:RTY1!
Works on equities too (SPY, QQQ, NVDA, AAPL), but it’s tuned for futures execution.
Step 2 — Use the right timeframes (this matters)
Best “Grade-A” workflow:
Chart TF (execution): 5m or 15m
Confirm TF (macro permission): 60m or 240m
Settings:
Confirm TF (intraday) = 60 for aggressive /NQ
Confirm TF = 240 for cleaner, fewer signals
If you want fewer but stronger signals: 240.
Step 3 — Confirm the data sources are valid
In Inputs:
Vol: CBOE:VIX
Dollar: TVC:DXY
Rates: CBOT:ZN1!
If that doesn’t work on your feed, change to TVC:US10Y
If these are wrong, the macro layer goes blind and signals degrade.
Step 4 — Interpret the background (your “regime map”)
Gray background: WAIT (do nothing)
Light green background: bull permission environment
Light red background: bear permission environment
Important:
Background alone is not a trade.
Only B+ / B− is a trade.
Step 5 — Execute ONLY on B+ / B− (Grade-A rule)
You do not anticipate.
You do not guess.
You do not trade “almost.”
You enter only when the indicator prints:
B+ for long
B− for short
Because those prints already include:
macro permission
VWAP location
SMA momentum alignment
candle confirmation
and WAIT suppression
Trade management (simple + effective)
For B+ (Long)
Entry: on the B+ bar close or next candle pullback that stays above VWAP
Invalidation: close back below VWAP or SMA3 falls under SMA8
Best targets (futures):
Target 1: recent swing high / session high
Target 2: VWAP band extension / next liquidity level
Hard stop: under last swing low (or your fixed points)
For B− (Short)
Entry: on the B− bar close or next candle retest that stays below VWAP
Invalidation: close back above VWAP or SMA3 crosses above SMA8
Best targets:
Target 1: recent swing low / session low
Target 2: next liquidity shelf / range low
Your “Grade-A Checklist” (print this mentally)
Before taking ANY trade:
Is WAIT OFF?
Did we get a B+ or B− print?
Is price on the correct side of VWAP?
Is SMA3 vs SMA8 aligned?
Is the candle color correct (green for B+, red for B−)?
If yes → take it.
If not → do nothing.
Why this works (the edge)
This indicator forces you to trade only when:
macro conditions allow follow-through
price action confirms institutional control (VWAP)
momentum confirms continuation (3/8 SMA)
and it blocks trades during the mischief regime (WAIT)
That combination is exactly what stops:
revenge trades
chop entries
shorting into bear traps
longing into liquidity tightening
Recommended default settings (Grade-A clean)
For /NQ:
Chart: 5m
Confirm TF: 60m
onlyOnFlip: true (less noise)
Keep VIX/DXY/ZN defaults
For “super clean”:
Chart: 15m
Confirm TF: 240m

HIGHS & LOWS RusosTITLE: HIGHS & LOWS Rusos - Multi-Timeframe Liquidity Engine
DESCRIPTION:
HIGHS & LOWS Rusos is a professional-grade structural liquidity tool designed to identify key Highs and Lows across multiple timeframes with a smart filtering engine. This script focuses on high-probability liquidity zones while maintaining a clean and organized chart.
Key Features:
Hierarchical Priority: The script uses a "Waterfall" logic. Monthly levels take priority over Weekly, Weekly over Daily, and so on. If levels from different timeframes overlap (within a tick margin), only the higher-order level is displayed to avoid clutter.
Multi-Timeframe Tracking: Automatically plots Monthly (HM/LM), Weekly (HS/LS), Daily (HD/LD), and 4-Hour (H4h/L4h) structural points.
Precision Anchoring: Lines are drawn from the exact start of their respective cycles (Month, Week, Day), providing accurate historical context.
Dynamic Mitigation: When price touches a level, the line is cut and marked with an "×". You can fully customize the opacity of these mitigated levels in the settings to keep your focus on active liquidity.
Optimized Performance: Built-in memory management limits the number of active and historical lines to ensure smooth performance.
Technical Hierarchy:
Monthly > Weekly > Daily > 4 Hours Lower timeframe levels are automatically hidden when viewing higher timeframe charts to prevent visual artifacts.
SMC Study: Buy & Sell Traps (Pro) - Levels OnlySMC Study: Buy & Sell Traps (Pro) — Levels Only
SMC Study: Buy & Sell Traps (Pro) — Levels Only is a Smart Money Concepts (SMC) based indicator designed to display key Support & Resistance levels on the chart. It helps traders identify important price zones where liquidity and market reactions are likely.
How it works:
- Pivot Highs are plotted as Resistance levels (red lines).
- Pivot Lows are plotted as Support levels (blue lines).
- Levels are filtered by ATR buffer, candle body strength, and optional volume confirmation.
- Lines automatically extend and update as new pivots form.
- No buy/sell signals, arrows, or alerts; clean structural levels only.
How to use:
- Use the levels as key reaction zones for potential entries.
- Support lines can indicate potential bullish bounces.
- Resistance lines can indicate potential bearish reversals.
- Combine with price action, market structure, and higher timeframe analysis.
- Suitable for all timeframes and markets.
Visuals:
- Blue horizontal lines: Support
- Red horizontal lines: Resistance
- Solid, dashed, or dotted lines (customizable)
- Lines extend dynamically with price movement
Important Notes:
- This indicator is for analysis only and does not generate trading signals.
- Proper risk management is required before taking any trades.
- Best used in conjunction with price action and structural analysis.

Mission Control Dashboard (AI, Crypto, Liquidity) FASTCONCEPT Price is a lagging indicator. Liquidity is a leading indicator. "Mission Control Dashboard (AI, Crypto, Liquidity) FAST" is a sophisticated macroeconomic dashboard designed to audit the "plumbing" of the financial system in real-time. Unlike standard indicators that rely solely on price action, this tool pulls data from the Federal Reserve (FRED), Treasury Statements, Corporate Financials (10-K/10-Q), and On-Chain Stablecoin metrics to visualize the structural flows driving the market.
THE "UNIFIED FIELD" SOLVER One of the hardest challenges in cross-asset scripting is "Time Dilation"—synchronizing 24/7 Crypto markets (Bitcoin) with Mon-Fri Traditional markets (Stocks/Bonds).
Standard scripts fail on weekends, showing mismatched data.
This engine uses a Weekly Anchor system. It calculates all momentum and liquidity metrics based on "Week-to-Date" or "Month-Ago" anchors. This ensures that a "Liquidity Drain" looks identical whether you are viewing a Bitcoin chart on Saturday or an Apple chart on Monday.
THE CHRONOS LOGIC The dashboard is sorted by Time Sensitivity (Speed of impact), from fast-twitch tactical signals to slow-moving structural fundamentals.
1. TACTICAL (Reacts in 24–48h)
Stablecoin Flight: Measures the immediate flow of capital from Volatile Assets to Stablecoins (USDT/USDC). A spike (>0.5%) indicates fear/sidelining.
Liquidity Alpha: Calculates the efficiency of capital. It subtracts "Friction" (Dollar Strength + Yields) from "Flow" (Liquidity Beta). High Alpha means money is flowing easily into risk assets.
Alt Euphoria: Tracks the overheating of the Altcoin market (TOTAL3). Green indicates sustainable growth; Red (>45%) warns of a "blow-off top."
Retail FOMO: A sentiment gauge comparing Coinbase Stock ( NASDAQ:COIN ) performance vs. Bitcoin ( CRYPTOCAP:BTC ). When Retail outperforms the Asset, local tops often follow.
2. LIQUIDITY & MACRO (Reacts in 1–4 Weeks)
Debt Wall (10Y): The Rate-of-Change of the US 10-Year Treasury Yield. Spiking yields act as gravity on risk assets.
Liquidity Beta: The raw "Quantity of Money." Tracks the 4-week change in Net Liquidity (Fed Balance Sheet - TGA + Stablecoins).
TGA Balance: The Critical Monitor. Tracks the Treasury General Account. When the TGA rises (Red), the government is draining liquidity from the banking system. When it falls (Green), it releases cash.
Note: This script includes an auto-scaler to handle TGA data in both Billions and Millions.
3. STRUCTURAL (Reacts in 3–12 Months)
AI Capex (YoY & QoQ): The "Floor" of the 2025/2026 cycle. Tracks the Capital Expenditure of the Hyperscalers (MSFT, GOOGL, AMZN, META). As long as this remains high (>30%), the infrastructure boom supports the tech narrative.
PMI Manufacturing: Tracks the ISM Manufacturing cycle. Contraction (<50) often forces Fed intervention.
Micron Inventory: A lead indicator for the hardware cycle.
HOW TO USE
Status Colors: The traffic light system helps you assess risk at a glance.
🟢 GREEN (Healthy): Flow is positive, friction is low, fundamentals are strong.
🔴 RED (Danger): Liquidity is draining (TGA spike), yields are shock-rising, or FOMO is excessive.
Zero Configuration: The script auto-detects asset classes and scales units (Billions/Trillions) automatically.
DATA SOURCES
Federal Reserve Economic Data (FRED)
Daily Treasury Statement (DTS)
CryptoCap (TradingView)

Untested Wickless LevelsUntested Wickless Levels
Overview
Untested Wickless Levels is a specialized price-action tool designed to identify and track "Wickless Candles"—bars where the price opens or closes at the absolute high or low of the candle with zero (or negligible) wick.
In technical analysis, a wickless candle often represents strong, institutional conviction. When a level is created without a wick and remains "untested" (price has not yet returned to pierce that specific coordinate), it often acts as a significant magnet for future price action or a zone of hidden support/resistance.
How It Works
The indicator scans every candle for a "Shaved" top or bottom.
Resistance (No Upper Wick): Created when the high of the candle is equal to the Open or Close. This suggests aggressive selling or a "ceiling" that hasn't been contested yet.
Support (No Lower Wick): Created when the low of the candle is equal to the Open or Close. This suggests aggressive buying or a "floor."
Once a level is identified, the script draws a horizontal line that automatically extends until price action eventually "tests" or breaks the level. Once the level is breached, the line is removed to keep your chart clean and focused only on active, high-probability zones.
Key Features
Automatic Level Extension: Lines track across your chart indefinitely until they are mitigated by price.
Wick Tolerance Setting: Crypto and Forex markets often have "micro-wicks" due to spread. The Wick Tolerance input allows you to include levels that have a 1 or 2 tick margin of error.
Non-Repainting: Signals are confirmed on candle close, ensuring the levels you see are permanent until broken.
Clean Visuals: Fully customizable colors, line styles (Solid, Dashed, Dotted), and widths.
How to Use
Target/Magnet: Use untested wickless levels as potential targets for take-profits, as price frequently returns to "fill" these efficient moves.
S/R Zones: Treat long-standing untested lines as strong areas for potential reversals or entries.
Breakout Confirmation: If price approaches a wickless resistance and fails to break it, it confirms the strength of the original move.
Mission Control Dashboard (AI, Crypto, Liquidity)Description: Mission Control Dashboard (AI, Liquidity) is a comprehensive macro-liquidity and cycle-analysis dashboard designed to track the "Flow of Funds" across traditional and crypto markets. Instead of looking at price action alone, this script monitors the fundamental "plumbing" of the global economy.
Key Metrics Tracked:
The Debt Wall: Monitors the US 10Y Yield and TLT price. It signals a "Critical" state if yields spike above 5% or TLT drops below $80, indicating high stress in the bond market.
Global Liquidity (MTF Stable): A proprietary calculation summing the balance sheets of the FED, ECB, BoJ, and PBoC, plus Stablecoin market cap. It calculates the Rate of Change (ROC) to see if the world is "printing" or "draining" money.
TGA Hidden Fuel: Tracks the Treasury General Account. A falling TGA is often bullish for risk assets as it injects liquidity into the banking system.
Universal Alt Season: Monitors TOTAL3 (Crypto market cap excluding BTC & ETH) for parabolic moves (>30% ROC).
AI Infra Capex: Real-time tracking of Capital Expenditures from MSFT, GOOG, AMZN, and META to gauge the health of the AI cycle.
How to use:
Green Status across the board: High probability for "Risk-On" environments (Alt season, Tech rallies).
Strategic Beta vs. Tactical Alpha: If Beta is draining but Alpha is accelerating, it suggests a "False Breakout" or a divergence in liquidity.
Uranium Trend: Used as a proxy for the energy transition and long-term industrial cycle strength.
Session Liquidity & FibsThis is a comprehensive, all-in-one toolkit designed for traders utilizing ICT concepts and time-based liquidity runs. The Session Liquidity & Fibs indicator automates the tedious process of marking up charts, allowing you to focus on price action and execution.
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.
[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
█ LIQUIDITY FOR SINGLETIMEFRAMES
If you prefer normal liquidity lines you can use my other free liquidity indicator
FED Net Liquidity (WALCL - TGA - RRP)a measure of FED net liquidity with color codes. What is FED Net Liquidity?
FED Net Liquidity is a proxy for how much usable US-dollar liquidity is actually available to financial markets.
It combines three balance-sheet items from the Federal Reserve and the US Treasury into one number:
FED Net Liquidity =
FED Balance Sheet (WALCL) − Treasury General Account (TGA) − Reverse Repo (RRP)
The goal is simple:
to estimate how much money is “in play” for risk assets, rather than parked or withdrawn.
Session Liquidity Sweep + Trend ConfirmationThis strategy aims to capture high-probability intraday trades by combining liquidity sweeps with a trend confirmation filter. It is designed for traders who want a systematic approach to trade breakouts during specific market sessions while controlling risk with ATR-based stops.
How it Works:
Session Filter: Trades are only considered during a defined session (default 9:30 - 11:00). This helps avoid low-volume periods that can lead to false signals.
Trend Confirmation: The strategy uses a 50-period EMA to identify the market trend. Long trades are only taken in an uptrend, and short trades in a downtrend.
Liquidity Sweep Detection:
A long entry occurs when price dips below the prior N-bar low but closes back above it, indicating a potential liquidity sweep that stops being triggered before the trend continues upward.
A short entry occurs when price spikes above the prior N-bar high but closes below it, signaling a potential sweep of stops before the downward trend resumes.
ATR-Based Risk Management:
Stop loss is calculated using the Average True Range (ATR) multiplied by a configurable factor (default 1.5).
Take profit is set based on a risk-reward ratio (default 2.5x).
Position Sizing: Default position size is 5% of equity per trade, making it suitable for risk-conscious trading.
Inputs:
Session Start/End (HHMM)
Liquidity Lookback Period (number of bars to define prior high/low)
ATR Length for stop calculation
ATR Stop Multiplier
Risk-Reward Ratio
EMA Trend Filter Length
Visuals:
Prior Liquidity High (red)
Prior Liquidity Low (green)

Smart Money Structure | GainzAlgo📊 OVERVIEW:
================
Smart Money Structure Analysis is a professional-grade market structure and order-flow system designed to identify institutional trading behavior through volatility-adaptive logic, multi-timeframe trend alignment, and volume-based confirmation.
This indicator implements original mathematical models to detect Change of Character (CHoCH), Break of Structure (BOS), cumulative volume dynamics, and trend convergence across seven timeframes — delivering high-probability trade signals with significantly reduced noise.
Unlike basic indicator combinations, this system functions as a unified trading framework, where volatility adaptation, structure analysis, and volume confirmation continuously reinforce each other to provide precise, context-aware signals.
⭐ WHY THIS SYSTEM IS UNIQUE AND WORTHY OF PUBLICATION:
=====================================================
This is not a collection of common indicators placed together.
Smart Money Structure Analysis represents a cohesive institutional methodology, engineered so that:
- Volatility adjusts signal sensitivity in real time
- Multi-timeframe trends define directional bias
- Market structure determines timing
- Volume confirms institutional participation
- Advanced filters eliminate low-quality setups
Each component is mathematically linked to the others, creating a workflow that cannot be replicated by stacking separate indicators.
🔗 SYNERGISTIC INTEGRATION – HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS TOGETHER:
==========================================================
🧠 1. CONTEXT-AWARE VOLATILITY ADAPTATION
ATR-based volatility logic dynamically adjusts all momentum thresholds:
- Higher volatility → stronger confirmation required
- Lower volatility → sensitivity increases to capture valid moves
This prevents over-signaling in choppy markets and under-signaling during expansion phases — a core flaw in static indicators.
📐 2. MULTI-TIMEFRAME TREND CONVERGENCE ENGINE
Seven timeframes are analyzed simultaneously:
1M • 5M • 15M • 30M • 1H • 4H • 1D
Each timeframe is scored using EMA + VWAP alignment, producing a composite Trend Strength Score from -100 to +100.
The stronger the alignment across timeframes, the higher the probability of continuation — instantly visible through the real-time dashboard.
🏗️ 3. INSTITUTIONAL MARKET STRUCTURE (CHoCH & BOS)
The system automatically identifies the two core smart money concepts:
- CHoCH (Change of Character):
Signals potential trend exhaustion or reversal zones
- BOS (Break of Structure):
Confirms trend continuation and institutional commitment
Structure zones are visualized with persistent, color-coded levels and clouds, providing precise contextual timing rather than lagging signals.
📊 4. CUMULATIVE VOLUME DELTA (CVD) CONFIRMATION
CVD tracks the cumulative difference between buying and selling pressure:
- Rising CVD → accumulation
- Falling CVD → distribution
- Divergence vs price → early reversal warning
Volume participation is categorized into Low / Medium / High, adding depth beyond simple volume bars.
🛡️ 5. SIX-LAYER PROFESSIONAL SIGNAL FILTERING
Every signal must pass through up to six independent confirmation layers:
1. Volatility-adjusted momentum
2. Higher timeframe trend alignment
3. Lower timeframe conflict prevention
4. Institutional volume confirmation
5. Structural breakout validation
6. Repeated-signal restriction
This dramatically reduces false positives while preserving only high-quality institutional setups.
🧮 DETAILED CORE SYSTEMS:
========================
📏 ADAPTIVE MOMENTUM FORMULA
- Momentum Threshold = Base × (1 + (ATR ÷ Price) × 2)
- Pre-Momentum Factor = Base × (1 − (ATR ÷ Price) × 0.5)
📊 TREND STRENGTH CALCULATION
- Trend Strength = (Sum of 7 timeframe scores ÷ 7) × 100
📦 CVD LOGIC
- Close > Previous Close → Buy volume added
- Close < Previous Close → Sell volume subtracted
- Cumulative sum reveals institutional intent
🧠 STRUCTURE DETECTION
- Pivot-based swing logic
- Candle confirmation
- Configurable lookback periods
- Non-repainting visualization
🧩 ADVANCED ANALYSIS TOOLS:
==========================
🧲 LIQUIDITY ZONE DETECTION
Identifies probable retail stop-loss clusters where institutions often initiate stop hunts before true directional moves.
📦 MARKET PROFILE & ORDER FLOW IMBALANCE
Detects buy/sell dominance using volume ratios, highlighting accumulation and distribution zones before large price moves.
🔄 RSI DIVERGENCE SCANNER
Identifies bullish and bearish divergences that frequently precede structure shifts and trend reversals.
🎨 VISUAL SYSTEM & DASHBOARD:
============================
📊 SMART MONEY MATRIX
- Composite trend strength
- System confidence %
- CVD value
- Directional grid for all timeframes
📈 TREND PREDICTION MATRIX (Optional)
Forecasts short-term directional bias using trend, momentum, and volatility data.

Liquidity OS [PyraTime]Trading the lower timeframes (1m-15m) often feels like navigating a minefield. Charts become cluttered with noise, making it nearly impossible to distinguish random price action from genuine institutional intent. Traders frequently suffer from "Analysis Paralysis," struggling to spot clean setups or reacting too slowly to calculate risk accurately in fast-moving markets.
The Solution: A Clean Operating SystemPyraTime: Liquidity OS was engineered to solve this specific problem. It is not just a signal tool; it is a complete visual operating system designed to declutter your workspace and enforce discipline. By filtering price action through a strict confluence of Structure, Time, and Momentum, it highlights only high-probability liquidity sweeps while automating the complex mental math of risk management.
How to Use This Indicator
This tool is designed for Scalpers and Day Traders utilizing liquidity concepts (ICT/SMC).
Wait for the Signal: The indicator automatically identifies valid "Unicorn" setups—a confluence of a Liquidity Sweep followed by a displacement (Breaker) and a Fair Value Gap.
Verify the Context: Look for the "Elite Glass" Capsule.
Cyan Glass: Bullish Setup (Long Opportunity).
Pink Glass: Bearish Setup (Short Opportunity).
Note: The capsule physically covers messy wicks, forcing your eye to focus solely on the clear path to profit or invalidation.
Consult the Dashboard: Glance at the "Monitor" panel (bottom right). It instantly displays the Position Size required to trade the setup based on your pre-defined account risk (e.g., 1%).
Execute & Focus: Use the visual TP (Take Profit) and SL (Stop Loss) lines provided by the capsule to set your orders. The system automatically dims old trades ("Smart Spotlight") so only the current opportunity competes for your attention.
Key Features
🦁 "Elite Glass" Visual Engine: A proprietary rendering system that displays trade setups as high-transparency, polished capsules. This creates a "Focus-First" environment, reducing chart noise and visual fatigue.
🧠 Smart Spotlight: Automatically manages visual history. The two most recent active zones remain bright, while older setups automatically dim to reduce clutter. Mitigated zones can be set to turn into "Ghosts" or disappear entirely.
🛡️ Risk OS Dashboard: A real-time, persistent monitor that calculates:
Dynamic Position Sizing: Tells you exactly how many units/contracts to trade.
Session Metrics: Tracks Win Rate, Total R, and Expectancy live.
Safety Warnings: Highlights "High Risk" inputs in red if you exceed safety thresholds.
⚡ Logic Filters:
Killzones: Restrict signals to specific sessions (e.g., London/NY) with a custom timezone selector.
Trend Flow: Filters signals to align with the 4H Trend (EMA 50).
Deep Value: Ensures buys occur in Discount and sells in Premium zones.
Specifications & Settings
Risk OS: Customizable Target R:R, Stop Loss Padding (ATR Multiplier), and Risk Per Trade %.
Liquidity Filters: "1m Scalp Mode" (increased sensitivity), Killzone Time/Timezone selector, and Force Reset button.
Visual Interface: Fully customizable colors. Toggles for "Show Midlines" (50% of FVG) and "Show Structure Breaks" (BOS lines) to further reduce noise.
Performance: Built on Pine Script v6 with null-safe execution and optimized garbage collection for zero-lag performance on all timeframes.
Disclaimer: Risk metrics, position sizing, and performance data displayed by this indicator are for informational and educational purposes only. This tool does not execute trades, manage funds, or guarantee future results. Always trade with a regulated broker and verify calculations independently.
SA Range Rank JNJ.WEEK. 1.15.2026Signal Architect™ — Developer Note
Weekly
These daily posts are intentional.
They are not meant to showcase wins, targets, or outcomes.
They are designed to help viewers observe consistency in market behavior—specifically how structure, range, and reaction repeat across different products and timeframes.
The value is not in catching every move.
The value is in knowing when participation is unnecessary or unsupported.
Signal Architect™ tools are built to help traders avoid low-quality decisions, not to encourage constant activity.
________________________________________
What These Posts Are Demonstrating
Over time, if you observe these posts across equities and futures, you’ll begin to notice:
• The same structural traps repeat across different instruments
• The same reactions occur across multiple timeframes
• The same stop-run and absorption behaviors appear regardless of volatility
That repetition is not coincidence.
It reflects how markets consistently behave, even as prices change.
The goal of these posts is to make that behavior familiar—
because familiarity reduces hesitation, overtrading, and unnecessary loss.
Consistency is not the outcome.
Consistency is the environment.
________________________________________
What You’re Seeing (Public View)
These charts display a limited visual preview of tools within the Signal Architect™ framework.
Only visual context is shown.
Core logic, calculations, thresholds, and execution rules are intentionally not disclosed.
The tools emphasize:
• Market structure over prediction
• Environmental awareness over signals
• Risk framing over reward chasing
Nothing shown publicly is meant to tell you what to trade.
It is meant to help you recognize when not to trade.
________________________________________
Why This Matters
Most losses do not come from being wrong on direction.
They come from participating:
• too early
• too late
• during transitions
• inside structural traps
Signal Architect™ tools are designed to filter those moments out.
In many cases, the highest-value action is:
• standing aside
• reducing size
• waiting for clarity
Saving capital is part of execution.
Avoiding a bad trade is often more valuable than finding a good one.

Weekly (W) — Strategic Regime / “Where price is allowed to live”
Goal: Identify the dominant direction + structural permission for the entire week(s).
How to use:
• Treat weekly RECLAIM as regime confirmation, not an entry.
• If weekly prints Bull RECLAIM, favor long participation on lower timeframes until weekly invalidates.
• If weekly prints Bear RECLAIM, same idea but short-biased.
Best behavior to look for:
• 1–2 reclaim signals per month/quarter.
• Use it as a “macro gate.”
Recommended settings (starting point):
• dispMult 1.2–1.6
• reclaimWindow 20–40
• cooldown 8–20
🟣 WEEKLY — Macro Regime & Liquidity Clearing
1️⃣ Range Indicator (RI)
• <30 → long-term compression (energy building)
• >70 → macro expansion (trend regime active)
Use:
Defines whether markets are coiling or trending on a multi-month scale.
________________________________________
2️⃣ ZoneEngine (Structure)
• Identifies macro structural bias
• Explains why certain weekly moves fail or accelerate
Use:
Never fight weekly structure. This is your “market weather.”
________________________________________
3️⃣ Cloud / Reclaim (Behavior)
• Clouds classify regime state, not entries
• Reclaims are informational only on weekly
Use:
Helps label the regime: continuation vs transition.
________________________________________
4️⃣ Stop-Hunt Proxy
• Represents large-scale liquidity clearing
• Often tied to:
o fund rebalancing
o regime shifts
o macro events
Use:
Context only. Weekly stop-hunts explain why a regime changed — they are not trades.

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.

Smart Fixed Volume Profile [MarkitTick]💡 This comprehensive analysis suite integrates Auction Market Theory, structural gap analysis, and statistical liquidity strain modeling into a single, cohesive toolkit. Designed for traders who require a granular view of institutional order flow, this indicator overlays a Fixed Range Volume Profile with intelligent price gap classification and a volatility-adjusted exhaustion detector. By combining these three distinct analytical dimensions, it allows users to identify value consensus, structural breakouts, and potential market turns driven by liquidity shortages.
✨ Originality and Utility
While standard Volume Profiles display where trading occurred, this script advances the concept by contextually analyzing *how* price arrived at those levels. It solves the problem of isolated analysis by fusing three disparate methodologies:
Contextual Integration: It does not merely show support and resistance; it qualifies moves using "Smart Gaps" (classifying gaps based on market structure) and "Liquidity Strain" (identifying unsustainable price velocity).
Institutional Footprint: The inclusion of an "Unusual Volume" highlighter within the profile bars helps traders spot hidden institutional accumulation or distribution blocks that standard profiles miss.
Hybrid Logic: By combining a fixed-time profile (anchored to specific dates) with dynamic, developing gap analysis, it provides both a static roadmap of the past and a dynamic interpretation of current price action.
🔬 Methodology and Concepts
• Fixed Volume Profile Engine
The core of the indicator constructs a volume distribution histogram over a user-defined time window. It utilizes a custom aggregation engine that:
Fetches higher-timeframe volume and price data to ensure accuracy.
Segments the price range into specific "bins" or rows.
Allocates volume to these bins based on price action within the bar, separating Buying Volume (Up bars) from Selling Volume (Down bars).
Calculates the Point of Control (POC) —the price level with the highest traded volume—and the Value Area , which contains 70% (customizable) of the total volume centered around the POC.
• Smart Gap Logic
The script systematically identifies price gaps and classifies them based on their location relative to market pivots (Highs/Lows):
Breakaway Gaps: Occur when price gaps beyond a significant structural pivot (Lookback High/Low), signaling a potential trend initiation.
Runaway Gaps: Occur within an existing trend without breaking structure, indicating trend continuation.
Exhaustion Gaps: Identified when a gap occurs late in a mature trend (measured by bar count since the last pivot) accompanied by a volume spike, suggesting the trend is overextended.
• Liquidity Strain Detector
This module utilizes a statistical approach to measure market stress. It calculates "Illiquidity" by analyzing the ratio of True Range to Volume (Price Impact).
It applies a Logarithmic transformation to normalize the data.
It calculates a Z-Score (Standard Deviation from the mean) of this impact.
If the Z-Score exceeds a threshold (e.g., 2.0 Sigma) while the trend opposes the price move, it triggers an exhaustion signal, indicating that price is moving too easily on too little volume (thin liquidity).
🎨 Visual Guide
• Volume Profile Elements
Histogram Bars: Horizontal bars representing volume at price. Cyan indicates bullish volume; Red indicates bearish volume.
Unusual Volume Highlight: Bars with volume exceeding the average by a set factor (default 2x) are highlighted with brighter, distinct overlays to denote institutional interest.
POC Line: A solid Yellow line marking the price level with the highest volume.
VAH / VAL Lines: Dashed Blue lines marking the Value Area High and Value Area Low.
Background Box: A grey shaded area encapsulating the entire time and price range of the profile.
• Smart Gap Boxes
Blue Box (Breakaway): Marks the start of a new structural move.
Orange Box (Runaway): Marks continuation gaps in the middle of a trend.
Red Box (Exhaustion): Marks potential trend termination points.
Dotted Lines: Extend from the center of gap boxes to serve as future support/resistance levels. These boxes are automatically deleted if price "fills" or violates the gap level.
Note: This tool incorporates core components from [ Smart Gap Concepts ], optimized for this specific strategy.
• Liquidity Signals
Green Label (SE): "Seller Exhaustion" – Appears below bars in a downtrend when selling pressure is statistically overextended.
Red Label (BE): "Buyer Exhaustion" – Appears above bars in an uptrend when buying pressure is statistically overextended.
Note: This tool incorporates core components from [ Liquidity Strain Detector ], optimized for this specific strategy.
📖 How to Use
• Interactive Range Selection: This indicator features a flexible, interactive input system. Upon adding the script to your chart, execution is paused until the analysis range is defined. You will be prompted to click on the chart twice: first to establish the Start Date and second to establish the End Date. Once these anchor points are confirmed, the indicator will automatically load the data and generate the profile for the selected specific period.
● Strategies for Optimal Anchoring
the optimal starting and ending points for high-probability setups:
Swing Highs and Lows (Trend Analysis):
Anchor the Start Date at a major structural swing high or low and the End Date at the current price using the Extend to Present feature. This identifies the "Fair Value" for the entire price move .
Consolidation/Range Anchoring:
Set the Start Date at the first bar of a sideways range and the End Date at the breakout candle. This reveals the high-node volume clusters that will act as future support or resistance.
Session-Based Anchoring (Intraday):
Align the Start Date with the session open (e.g., London or New York open) to track institutional flow for that specific day .
Event-Driven Anchoring:
Place the Start Date on a significant news event or a Breakaway Gap identified by the script's Gap Engine. This helps determine if the new volume supports the direction of the gap.
Correction Cycles:
During a pullback, anchor the Start Date at the start of the correction to find the Value Area Low (VAL), which often serves as a tactical entry point for a trend continuation.
• Identifying Value:
Use the Value Area to gauge market consensus. Acceptance of price within the VA indicates balance. A breakout above VAH or below VAL suggests the market is searching for new value. The POC often acts as a magnet for price correction.
• Trading Breakouts:
Watch for Breakaway Gaps (Blue) that align with a move out of the Volume Profile's Value Area. This confluence increases the probability of a sustained trend.
• Spotting Reversals:
Combine Exhaustion Gaps (Red) with Liquidity Strain Signals (SE/BE) . If price gaps up into a low-volume node on the profile and prints a "Buyer Exhaustion" signal, it suggests the move is unsupported by liquidity and liable to reverse.
• Support and Resistance:
The extended dotted lines from the Smart Gap boxes act as dynamic support/resistance. A retest of a "Runaway Gap" is often a viable entry point for trend continuation.
⚙️ Inputs and Settings
• Global Profile:
Start/End Date: Define the exact window for the volume profile calculation.
Extend to Present: If checked, the profile updates with live data beyond the end date.
• Profile Settings:
Number of Rows: Determines the vertical resolution (granularity) of the histogram.
Value Area %: Default is 70%, representing one standard deviation of volume distribution.
Placement: Position the profile on the Left or Right of the defined range.
• Liquidity & Gaps:
Unusual Threshold: Multiplier of average volume to highlight institutional bars (default 2.0x).
Structure Lookback: Adjusts the sensitivity of pivot detection for gap classification.
Stress Threshold (Sigma): The Z-Score limit for triggering Liquidity Strain signals (default 2.0).
🔍 Deconstruction of the Underlying Scientific and Academic Framework
• Auction Market Theory (AMT):
The script is grounded in AMT, which posits that the market's primary function is to facilitate trade. The Volume Profile visualizes this by displaying a bell curve of price distribution. The Value Area (typically 70%) corresponds to the First Standard Deviation in a normal Gaussian distribution, representing the area of "Fair Value" where buyers and sellers agree.
• Market Microstructure & Kyle’s Lambda:
The Liquidity Strain module draws conceptually from Kyle’s Lambda, a metric in market microstructure that measures market depth and price impact (Illiquidity). By calculating the ratio of price change (True Range) to Volume, the script approximates the "cost" of moving the market.
• Statistical Z-Score Normalization:
To make the liquidity data actionable, the script applies Z-Score normalization: Z = (X - μ) / σ . This converts raw illiquidity values into standard deviations from the mean. A Z-Score above +2.0 signifies a statistically significant anomaly—an outlier event where price moved excessively relative to the volume traded, often preceding a mean-reversion event.
