Volume w/ Threshold and Editable MA PeriodJust a simple script that tweaks the original Volume one.
The purpose is creating a threshold which we'll use to put an alert on. This way, we can be notified whether Volume pumps.
Useful for spotting breakouts, breakdowns and pumps.
Threshold is simply a coeff * ma(volume,period). Coeff is editable as well.
Hope this helps!

Seismic Market Spike Detector v1.0 Seismic Market Spike Detector v1.0
This indicator helps identify spikes in market activity , typified by bars with extreme open / close or high / low prices.
This indicator plots 2 lines. The Blue line simply depicts extreme price movements with in that bar regardless of the initial opening price of the closing price of the bar. This allows you to get an insight into the current volatility of the price at that time in the market. Quite often big price swings with in bars are missed as people pend to tunnel vision on the open or close price - or other indicators derived from open / close.
The Red line is similar to the blue bar as it depicts extreme price movements with in the bar , but it will show the direction the market moved in by the close of the bar - and relatively how much the market moved. This is helpful for spotting breakout price action or short term spikes. Quite often after a breakout the market will restore itself to an equilibrium in the opposite direction. Sometimes this happens with an opposing aggressive spike , some times it makes a steady return to a known price level. Either way its a great time to place entry orders if you are looking to turn a fast profit or alternatively a good warning of forth coming price volatility.
Here are some tips for analysing the red and blue lines :
1)If the red line is pointing upwards , this indicates a sharp rise in the price.
2)If the red line is pointing downwards , this indicates a sharp fall in the price.
3)If the red line is flat but the blue line is spiked in either direction - this indicates the price was volatile with in the bar , but the price closed relatively near to the surrounding price bars. Perhaps a limit / stop triggered by this kind of activity - this is an easy way to determine why and re-enter.
4)If the red and the blue lines are flat - the price is steadily moving with a trend or trading sideways in a confined range.
PDH/PDL Breakout Pip MeasurerThis indicator measures the maximum distance (in pips or points) that price travels after breaking through the Previous Day's High (PDH) or Previous Day's Low (PDL), before returning to a user-defined stop loss level.

Best Entry Swing MASTER v3 PUBLIC (S.S)Strategy Description (English)
Best Entry Swing MASTER v3 – Quality Mode
The Best Entry Swing MASTER v3 is a structured swing trading and trend-following strategy designed to identify high-probability long and short entries during directional markets.
It combines three core setup types commonly used by momentum and breakout traders:
Breakout (BO)
Pullback Reversal (PB)
Volatility Contraction Pattern (VCP)
The strategy applies multiple layers of confirmation, including multi-EMA trend structure, volatility contraction, volume filters, and an optional market regime filter.
It is suitable for swing trading on higher timeframes (4H, Daily), as well as medium-term trend continuation setups.
Core Concepts
1. Trend Structure
A trend is considered valid when:
Uptrend: Price > EMA20 > EMA50 > EMA100
Downtrend: Price < EMA20 < EMA50 < EMA100
In addition, a simple but effective trend-strength metric is calculated using the percentage spread between EMA20 and EMA100.
This helps avoid signals during sideways or low-volatility environments.
2. Market Regime Filter
The market environment is determined using a higher timeframe benchmark (default: SPY on Daily).
Only long trades are allowed in bullish market conditions
Only short trades in bearish conditions
This significantly reduces false signals in counter-trend conditions.
Entry Logic
Breakout (BO)
A long breakout triggers when:
Price closes above the highest high of the lookback period
Volume exceeds its 20-period average
Trend and market regime confirm
(Optional A+ mode): true volatility contraction is required
Similar logic applies for short breakdowns.
Pullback (PB)
A pullback entry triggers after:
At least two corrective candles
A strong reversal candle (close above previous high for long)
Volume confirmation
Price interacts with EMA20
This structure models classical trend-reentry conditions.
Volatility Contraction Pattern (VCP)
A VCP entry triggers when:
True range contracts over multiple bars
Price holds near the breakout zone
Volume contracts
Trend and market regime are aligned
This setup aims to capture explosive continuation moves.
Quality Modes
The strategy offers two modes:
Balanced Mode
Moderate signal frequency
Broader trend-strength allowance
Suitable for more active traders
A+ Only Mode
Strict confirmation requirements
Only high-quality setups with multiple confluences
Designed to avoid low-probability trades entirely
Risk Management
Risk is managed using an ATR-based stop and target:
Long SL = Close − ATR × 1.5
Long TP = Close + ATR × 3
(Equivalent logic for short positions)
This provides a balanced reward-to-risk profile and avoids overly tight stops.
Early Entry Signals (Optional)
The script offers optional “Early Entry” markers that highlight when a setup is forming but not yet confirmed.
These are not entry signals and are disabled by default for public use.
Intended Use
This strategy is designed for:
Swing trading
Momentum continuation
Trend-following
Multi-day to multi-week trades
It performs best on:
4H
Daily
High-liquidity equities, indices, and futures

Low Volatility Breakout + TP/SL Levels█ OVERVIEW
"Low Volatility Breakout + TP/SL Levels" is a breakout indicator designed to detect and trade breakouts from periods of low volatility (consolidation). Unlike classic strategies based on fixed support/resistance levels, this indicator dynamically identifies consolidations characterized by small candle bodies and only generates a signal when the breakout occurs with a large, decisive candle. It also automatically plots 3 Take Profit levels and a Stop Loss (with two calculation modes), making it a complete breakout trading tool.
█ CONCEPTS
The strongest market moves most often start after a prolonged period of very low volatility — when candles become small and the market "falls asleep". The indicator first detects such consolidations (small bodies for at least X bars), draws a box around them, and then waits for a breakout with a candle significantly larger than the average. Additional filters (e.g., the box height cannot exceed the average candle body by too much) eliminate false consolidations and volatility traps. Immediately after the breakout, TP1, TP2, TP3, and SL levels are plotted.
█ FEATURES
Dynamic detection of low-volatility consolidations
- candles with small bodies (< average body × consolidationMultiplier)
- minimum number of bars in consolidation: confirmBars (default 5)
Automatic drawing of consolidation boxes
- green (bullish) or red (bearish) with transparent background (85)
- adjustable border thickness (border_width 1–5)
- box height filter (boxHeightMultiplier, default 6.0 × average body) – removes overly stretched/false consolidations
Breakout conditions
- current candle must be larger than average body × threshold (default 1.5)
- must be the largest candle in the entire consolidation
- must close above the highest high (long) or below the lowest low (short)
Breakout signals
- small green triangles below the bar (long)
- small red triangles above the bar (short)
Automatic Take Profit and Stop Loss levels (drawn 5 bars forward)
- two calculation modes:
• Candle Multiplier – based on average true range (high-low) over tp_sl_length period
• Percentage – fixed percentage from breakout close price (percentages must be manually adjusted to the asset and timeframe)
- 3 TP levels (default 2×, 3×, 4× or 2%, 3%, 4%)
- 1 SL level (default 2× or 1.5%)
Live TP/SL price table (top-right corner)
- displays exact current values of SL, TP1, TP2, TP3 immediately after each new signal
- colors identical to drawn lines (red background for SL, green for TP levels)
- updates automatically with every new breakout
Built-in alerts
- “Bullish Breakout Alert” and “Bearish Breakout Alert”
█ HOW TO USE
Add the indicator to your TradingView chart → Indicators → search “Low Volatility Breakout + TP/SL Levels”.
After each valid breakout you will immediately see:
- the colored box
- signal triangle
- horizontal TP/SL lines
- updated table in the top-right corner showing precise price levels for the current trade
Key settings to adjust:
Consolidation Settings
- Volatility Window (length) – period for average body calculation (default 20)
- Consolidation Multiplier – how small bodies must be to count as consolidation (default 2.0)
- Breakout Multiplier – minimum size of breakout candle (default 1.5)
- Box Height Multiplier – maximum allowed box height (default 6.0)
- Min Consolidation Bars – minimum bars required (default 5)
Risk Management Settings
- Choose TP/SL mode: Candle Multiplier or Percentage
- Adjust TP1–3 and SL multipliers/percentages to match your risk management style
Signal interpretation:
- Green triangle below bar + green box + green TP levels in table = long signal
- Red triangle above bar + red box + red SL level in table = short signal
- Boxes remain on chart until broken — they highlight accumulation/distribution zones
█ APPLICATIONS
- Trading breakouts from consolidation on all markets and timeframes
- Recommended to trade in the direction of the higher-timeframe trend or with additional confirmations (e.g., key level breaks). Aggressive mode (trading both directions) is also possible — provided box and TP/SL settings are properly optimized
- Experiment with different TP/SL ratios — higher reward-to-risk setups (e.g., SL 1×, TP3 6–8×) with lower win rate are often more profitable in the long run
- Strongly encourage testing various box parameters (consolidationMultiplier, boxHeightMultiplier, confirmBars) — small changes can dramatically affect signal frequency and quality
█ NOTES
Always test and optimize parameters for the specific instrument and timeframe.

Important Notes
This indicator works best on liquid instruments with clear price action
Highly volatile markets may require adjusted ATR and ORB distance settings
Session times are in EST timezone—adjust if trading non-US markets
The ORB calculation requires sufficient price history for the day
Signals are generated in real-time but should be confirmed at candle close
Limitations
Maximum of 6 timeframes can be analyzed due to TradingView's security call limits
ORB calculations may not work correctly on instruments with gaps or irregular sessions
The indicator is most effective during regular market hours when volume and volatility are adequate
Lower timeframes (1m, 5m) may produce more false signals in choppy conditions

Easy [CHE] Easy — Minimalist Pine Script for detecting EMA direction changes to define fixed price zones for simple support and resistance visualization, ideal for manual trading workflows.
Summary
This indicator's programming is kept minimalist and super simple, with core logic in under 20 lines for easy comprehension and modification. It creates fixed price zones based on divergences between a base exponential moving average and its smoother counterpart, helping traders spot potential consolidation or reversal areas without dynamic adjustments. By locking the zone at the high and low of the signal bar, it avoids over-expansion in volatile conditions, offering a stable reference line colored by price position relative to the zone. This approach differs from expanding channels by prioritizing simplicity and persistence until a new qualifying signal, reducing visual clutter while highlighting directional bias through midpoint coloring.
Motivation: Why this design?
Traders often face noisy signals from moving averages that flip frequently in sideways markets or lag during breakouts, leading to premature entries or missed opportunities. This indicator addresses that by focusing on confirmed direction shifts between the base and smoothed averages, then anchoring a non-expanding zone to capture the initial price range of the shift. The result is a cleaner tool for marking equilibrium levels, assuming price respects these bounds in ranging or mildly trending conditions.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
- Reference baseline: Traditional moving average crossovers or simple channels that update every bar.
- Architecture differences:
- Zones are set only on new divergence signals and remain fixed until reset by a gap from the prior zone.
- No ongoing high-low expansion; relies on persistent variables to hold bounds across bars.
- Midpoint plotting with conditional coloring based on close position, plus a highlight for zone initiations.
- Practical effect: Charts show persistent horizontal references instead of drifting lines, making it easier to gauge if price is rejecting or embracing the zone—useful for avoiding false breaks in low-volatility setups.
How it works (technical)
The indicator first computes a base exponential moving average of closing prices over a user-defined length, then applies a second exponential moving average to smooth that base. It checks if both the base and smoothed values are increasing or decreasing compared to their prior values, indicating aligned direction. A signal triggers when this alignment breaks, marking a potential shift.
On a new signal, if the current bar's high and low fall outside any existing zone (or none exists), the zone bounds update to those extremes and persist via dedicated variables. The midpoint of these bounds becomes the primary plot line, colored green if below the close (bullish lean), red if above (bearish lean), or gray otherwise. A secondary thick line highlights the midpoint briefly when a zone first sets, aiding visual confirmation. No higher timeframe data or external fetches are used, so updates occur on each bar close without lookahead.
Parameter Guide
EMA Length — Sets the period for the base moving average; longer values smooth more, reducing signal frequency but increasing lag. Default: 50. Trade-offs/Tips: Shorter for faster response in intraday charts (risks noise); longer for daily trends (may miss early shifts).
Smoother Length — Defines the period for the secondary smoothing on the base average; higher values dampen minor wiggles for stabler direction checks. Default: 3. Trade-offs/Tips: Keep low (2–5) for sensitivity; increase to 7+ if zones trigger too often in choppy markets, at cost of delayed signals.
Reading & Interpretation
The main circle plot at the zone midpoint serves as a dynamic equilibrium line: green suggests price is above the zone (potential strength), red indicates below (potential weakness), and gray shows containment within bounds (neutral consolidation). A sudden thick foreground line at the midpoint flags a fresh zone start, prompting review of the prior bar's context. Absence of a plot means no active zone, implying reliance on price action alone until the next signal.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
- Trend following: Enter long on green midpoint after a higher low touches the zone lower bound, confirmed by structure like higher highs; filter shorts similarly on red with lower highs.
- Exits/Stops: Use the opposite zone bound as a conservative stop (e.g., below lower for longs); trail aggressively to midpoint on strong moves, tightening near gray neutrality.
- Multi-asset/Multi-TF: Defaults work across forex and stocks on 1H–Daily; for crypto volatility, shorten EMA Length to 20–30. Pair with volume oscillators for confirmation, avoiding isolated use.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
- Repaint/confirmation: Plots update on bar close using historical closes, so confirmed signals hold; live bars may shift until close but without future references.
- security()/HTF: Not used, eliminating related repaint risks.
- Resources: Minimal overhead—no loops, arrays, or bar limits exceeded; suitable for real-time on any timeframe.
- Known limits: Fixed zones may lag in strong trends (price drifts away without reset); signals skip if no gap from prior zone, potentially missing clustered shifts. Assumes standard OHLC data; untested on non-equity assets.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Start with EMA Length at 50 and Smoother Length at 3 for balanced daily charts. If signals fire too frequently (e.g., in ranges), extend EMA Length to 100 for fewer but stabler zones. For sluggish response in trends, drop Smoother Length to 2 and EMA Length to 30, monitoring for added noise. In high-vol setups, widen both to 75/5 to filter extremes, trading speed for reliability.

Adaptive CE-VWAP Breakout Framework [KedArc Quant]Description
A structured framework that unites three complementary systems into one charting engine:
Chandelier Exit (CE) – ATR-based trailing logic that defines trend direction, stop placement, and risk/reward overlays.
Swing-Anchored VWAP (SWAV) – a dynamically anchored VWAP that re-starts from each confirmed swing and adapts its smoothness to volatility.
Pivot S/R with Volume Breaks – confirmed horizontal levels with alerts when broken on expanding volume.
This script builds a single workflow for bias → trigger → managementwithout mixing unrelated indicators. Each module is internally linked rather than layered cosmetically, making it a true analytical framework—not.
Acknowledgment
Special thanks to Dynamic Swing Anchored VWAP by Zeiierman, whose swing-anchoring concept inspired a part of the SWAV module’s implementation and adaptation logic.
Support and Resistance Levels with Breaks by LuxAlgo for S/R breakout logic.
How this helps traders
Trend clarity – CE color-codes direction and provides evolving stops.
Context value – SWAV traces adaptive mean paths so traders see where price is heavy or light.
Action filter – Pivot+volume logic highlights true structural breaks, filtering false moves.
Discipline tool – Optional R:R boxes visualize risk and target zones to enforce planning.
Entry / Exit guidelines (for study purposes only)
Bias Use CE direction: green = long bias red = short bias
Entry
1. Breakout method– Trade in CE direction when a pivot level breaks on valid volume.
2. VWAP confirmation– Prefer breaks occurring around the nearest SWAV path (fair-value cross or re-test).
Exit
Stop = CE line / recent swing HL / ATR × (multiplier)
Target = R-multiple × risk (default 2 R)
Optional live update keeps SL/TP aligned with current CE state.
Core formula concepts
ATR Stop: Stop = High/Low – ATR × multiplier
VWAP calc: Σ(price × vol) / Σ(vol) anchored at swing pivot, adapted by APT (Adaptive Price Tracking) ratio ∝ ATR volatility.
Volume oscillator: 100 × (EMA₅ – EMA₁₀)/EMA₁₀; valid break when threshold %.

Trend Break + MSB + Fibo Zone [v1.0] dnmSure! Here’s the English translation of your text:
---
Swings are determined based on the HH/LL structure.
If the candle close breaks the swing level, the MSB (Market Structure Break) is confirmed.
After the MSB, the last swing high/low is used to calculate the Fibonacci 0.5 and 0.618 levels.
On the chart, the 0.5–0.618 range is displayed as a colored box.
A green box appears for a bullish break, and a red box appears for a bearish break.
Gold H1 Breakout Failure (V11.0)This strategy is designed for trading XAU/USD (Gold) on the 1-hour timeframe. It identifies and trades fake breakouts of the Asian session range.
The logic is simple yet effective:
The script first marks the Asian session high and low.
Once price breaks out of this range and closes outside, it waits for confirmation by watching for price to close back inside the range.
When this re-entry occurs, the strategy takes a position in the opposite direction of the initial breakout, anticipating a false breakout or liquidity trap setup.
By focusing on these fakeouts, the strategy aims to capture reversal momentum after liquidity sweeps, making it especially effective during sessions when volatility transitions from Asia to London or New York.

Outside Candle Session Breakout [CHE]Outside Candle Session Breakout
Session - anchored HTF levels for clear market-structure and precise breakout context
Summary
This indicator is a relevant market-structure tool. It anchors the session to the first higher-timeframe bar, then activates only when the second bar forms an outside condition. Price frequently reacts around these anchors, which provides precise breakout context and a clear overview on both lower and higher timeframes. Robustness comes from close-based validation, an adaptive volatility and tick buffer, first-touch enforcement, optional retest, one-signal-per-session, cooldown, and an optional trend filter.
Pine version: v6. Overlay: true.
Motivation: Why this design?
Short-term breakout tools often trigger during noise, duplicate within the same session, or drift when volatility shifts. The core idea is to gate signals behind a meaningful structure event: a first-bar anchor and a subsequent outside bar on the session timeframe. This narrows attention to structurally important breaks while adaptive buffering and debouncing reduce false or mid-run triggers.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
Baseline: Simple high-low breaks or fixed buffers without session context.
Architecture: Session-anchored first-bar high/low; outside-bar gate; close-based confirmation with an adaptive ATR and tick buffer; first-touch enforcement; optional retest window; one-signal-per-session and cooldown; optional EMA trend and slope filter; higher-timeframe aggregation with lookahead disabled; themeable visuals and a range fill between levels.
Practical effect: Cleaner timing at structurally relevant levels, fewer redundant or late triggers, and better multi-timeframe situational awareness.
How it works (technical)
The chart timeframe is mapped to an analysis timeframe and a session timeframe.
The first session bar defines the anchor high and low. The setup becomes active only after the next bar forms an outside range relative to that first bar.
While active, the script tracks these anchors and checks for a breakout beyond a buffered threshold, using closing prices or wicks by preference.
The buffer scales with volatility and is limited by a minimum tick floor. First-touch enforcement avoids mid-run confirmations.
Optional retest requires a pullback to the raw anchor followed by a new close beyond the buffered level within a user window.
Optional trend gating uses an EMA on the analysis timeframe, including an optional slope requirement and price-location check.
Higher-timeframe data is requested with lookahead disabled. Values can update during a forming higher-timeframe bar; waiting and confirmation mitigate timing shifts.
Parameter Guide
Enable Long / Enable Short — Direction toggles. Default: true / true. Reduces unwanted side.
Wait Candles — Minimum bars after outside confirmation before entries. Default: five. More waiting increases stability.
Close-based Breakout — Confirm on candle close beyond buffer. Default: true. For wick sensitivity, disable.
ATR Buffer — Enables adaptive volatility buffer. Default: true.
ATR Multiplier — Buffer scaling. Default: zero point two. Increase to reduce noise.
Ticks Buffer — Minimum buffer in ticks. Default: two. Protects in quiet markets.
Cooldown Bars — Blocks new signals after a trigger. Default: three.
One Signal per Session — Prevents duplicates within a session. Default: true.
Require Retest — Pullback to raw anchor before confirming. Default: false.
Retest Window — Bars allowed for retest completion. Default: five.
HTF Trend Filter — EMA-based gating. Default: false.
EMA Length — EMA period. Default: two hundred.
Slope — Require EMA slope direction. Default: true.
Price Above/Below EMA — Require price location relative to EMA. Default: true.
Show Levels / Highlight Session / Show Signals — Visual controls. Default: true.
Color Theme — “Blue-Green” (default), “Monochrome”, “Earth Tones”, “Classic”, “Dark”.
Time Period Box — Visibility, size, position, and colors for the info box. (Optional)
Reading & Interpretation
The two level lines represent the session’s first-bar high and low. The filled band illustrates the active session range.
“OUT” marks that the outside condition is confirmed and the setup is live.
“LONG” or “SHORT” appears only when the breakout clears buffer, debounce, and optional gates.
Background tint indicates sessions where the setup is valid.
Alerts fire on confirmed long or short breakout events.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
Trend-following: Keep close-based validation, ATR buffer near the default, one-signal-per-session enabled; add EMA trend and slope for directional bias.
Retest confirmation: Enable retest with a short window to prioritize cleaner continuation after a pullback.
Lower-timeframe scalping: Reduce waiting and cooldown slightly; keep a small tick buffer to filter micro-whips.
Swing and position context: Increase ATR multiplier and waiting; maintain once-per-session to limit duplicates.
Timeframe Tiers and Trader Profiles
The script adapts its internal mapping based on the chart timeframe:
Under fifteen minutes → Analysis: one minute; Session: sixty minutes. Useful for scalpers and high-frequency intraday reads.
Between fifteen and under sixty minutes → Analysis: fifteen minutes; Session: one day. Suits day traders who need intraday alignment to the daily session.
Between sixty minutes and under one day → Analysis: sixty minutes; Session: one week. Serves intraday-to-swing transitions and end-of-day planning.
Between one day and under one week → Analysis: two hundred forty minutes; Session: two weeks. Fits swing traders who monitor multi-day structure.
Between one week and under thirty days → Analysis: one day; Session: three months. Supports position traders seeking quarterly context.
Thirty days and above → Analysis: one day; Session: twelve months. Provides a broad annual anchor for macro context.
These tiers are designed to keep anchors meaningful across regimes while preserving responsiveness appropriate to the trader profile.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Signals can be validated on closed bars through close-based logic; enabling this reduces intrabar flicker.
Higher-timeframe values may evolve during a forming bar; waiting parameters and the outside-bar gate reduce, but do not remove, this effect.
Resource footprint is light; the script uses standard indicators and a single higher-timeframe request per stream.
Known limits: rare setups during very quiet periods, sensitivity to gaps, and reduced reliability on illiquid symbols.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Start with close-based validation on, ATR buffer on with a multiplier near zero point two, tick buffer two, cooldown three, once-per-session on.
Too many flips: increase the ATR multiplier and cooldown; consider enabling the EMA filter and slope.
Too sluggish: reduce the ATR multiplier and waiting; disable retest.
Choppy conditions: keep close-based validation, increase tick buffer, shorten the retest window.

SMC Structures and Multi-Timeframe FVG PYSMC Structures and Multi-Timeframe FVG Indicator
Tip: For optimal performance, adjust the number of FVGs displayed per timeframe in the settings. On high-performance devices, up to 8 FVGs per timeframe can be used without issues. If you experience slowdowns, reduce to 3 or 4 FVGs per timeframe. If the chart flashes, disable indicators one by one to identify conflicts, or try using the TradingView Mobile or Windows App for a smoother experience.
Overview
This Pine Script indicator enhances market analysis by integrating Smart Money Concepts (SMC) with Fair Value Gaps (FVG) across multiple timeframes. It identifies trend continuations (Break of Structure, BOS) and trend reversals (Change of Character, CHoCH) while highlighting liquidity zones through FVG detection. The indicator includes eight customizable Moving Average (MA) curve templates, disabled by default, to complement SMC and FVG analysis. Its originality lies in combining multi-timeframe FVG detection with SMC structure analysis, providing traders with a cohesive tool to visualize price action patterns and liquidity zones efficiently.
Features and Functionality
1. Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
The indicator detects and displays bullish, bearish, and mitigated FVGs, representing liquidity zones where price inefficiencies occur. These gaps are dynamically updated based on price action:
Bullish FVG: Displayed in green when unmitigated, indicating potential upward liquidity zones.
Bearish FVG: Displayed in red when unmitigated, signaling potential downward liquidity zones.
Mitigated FVG: Shown in gray once the gap is partially filled by price action.
Fully Mitigated FVG: Automatically removed from the chart when the gap is fully filled, reducing visual clutter.
Users can customize the number of historical FVGs displayed via the settings, allowing focus on recent liquidity zones for targeted analysis.
2. SMC Structures
The indicator identifies key SMC price action patterns:
Break of Structure (BOS): Marked with gray lines, indicating trend continuation when price breaks a significant high or low.
Change of Character (CHoCH): Highlighted with yellow lines, signaling potential trend reversals when price fails to maintain the current structure.
High/Low Values: Blue lines denote the highest high and lowest low of the current structure, providing reference points for market context.
3. Multi-Timeframe FVG Analysis
A standout feature is the ability to analyze FVGs across multiple timeframes simultaneously. This allows traders to align higher-timeframe liquidity zones with lower-timeframe entries, improving trade precision. The indicator fetches FVG data from user-selected timeframes, displaying them cohesively on the chart.
4. Moving Average (MA) Templates
The indicator includes eight customizable MA curve templates in the Settings > Template section, disabled by default. These templates allow users to overlay MAs (e.g., SMA, EMA, WMA) to complement SMC and FVG analysis. Each template is pre-configured with different periods and types, enabling quick adaptation to various trading strategies, such as trend confirmation or dynamic support/resistance.
How It Works
The script processes price action to detect FVGs by analyzing three-candle patterns where a gap forms between the high/low of the first and third candles. Multi-timeframe data is retrieved using Pine Script’s request.security() function, ensuring accurate FVG plotting across user-defined timeframes. BOS and CHoCH are identified by tracking swing highs and lows, with logic to differentiate trend continuation from reversals. The MA templates are computed using standard Pine Script TA functions, with user inputs controlling visibility and parameters.
How to Use
Add to Chart: Apply the indicator to any TradingView chart.
Configure Settings:
FVG Settings: Adjust the number of historical FVGs to display (default: 10). Enable/disable specific FVG types (bullish, bearish, mitigated).
Timeframe Selection: Choose up to three timeframes for FVG analysis (e.g., 1H, 4H, 1D) to align with your trading strategy.
Structure Settings: Toggle BOS (gray lines) and CHoCH (yellow lines) visibility. Adjust sensitivity for structure detection if needed.
MA Templates: Enable MA curves via the Template section. Select from eight pre-configured MA types and periods to suit your analysis.
Interpret Signals:
Use green/red FVGs for potential entry points targeting liquidity zones.
Monitor gray lines (BOS) for trend continuation and yellow lines (CHoCH) for reversal signals.
