How to Use the PRO SMC DASHBOARD
1. Add the Script to Your Chart:
Apply the indicator to your favorite Forex, Gold, crypto, or indices chart (best on M1, M5, or M15 for entries).
2. Read the Dashboard (Bottom Right):
The dashboard shows real-time information from multiple timeframes and key SMC filters, including:
Trend (M1, M5, M15, H1, H4):
Arrows show up (↑) or down (↓) trend for each timeframe, based on EMA.
Momentum (RSI M1):
Shows “Strong Up,” “Strong Down,” or “Neutral” plus the current RSI value.
RSI (H1):
Higher timeframe momentum confirmation.
ATR State:
Indicates current volatility (High, Normal, Low).
Session:
Detects if the market is in London, NY, or Asia session (based on UTC).
HTF S/D Zone:
Shows the nearest high timeframe Supply or Demand zone, its timeframe (M15, H1, H4), and exact pip distance.
Fakeout (last 3):
Detects recent false breakouts—if there are multiple fakeouts, potential for reversal is higher.
FVG (Fair Value Gap):
Indicates direction and distance to the nearest FVG (Above/Below).
Bias:
“Strong Buy,” “Strong Sell,” or “Neutral”—multi-timeframe, momentum, and volatility filtered.
Inducement:
Alerts for possible “stop hunt” or liquidity grab before reversal.
BOS (Break of Structure):
Recent or live breaks of market structure (for both M15 & H1).
Liquidity Sweep:
Shows if price just swept a key high/low and then reversed (often key reversal point).
Confluence Score (0-7):
Higher score means more factors align—look for 5+ for strong setups.
Volume Spike:
“YES” appears if the current volume is significantly above average—big players are active!
RSI Divergence:
Bullish or bearish divergence on M1—signals early reversal risk.
Momentum Flip:
“UP” or “DN” appears if RSI M1 crosses the 50 line, confirmed by location and other filters.
Chart Signals (Arrows & Markers):
Flip arrows (up/down) and Liquidity markers only appear when price is at/near a key Supply/Demand zone and confirmed by either a volume spike or strong confluence.
No signal spam:
If you see an arrow or LIQ tag, it’s a truly significant moment!
Suggested Trading Workflow:
Scan the Dashboard:
Is the multi-timeframe trend aligned?
Are you near a major Supply or Demand zone?
Is the Confluence Score high (5 or more)?
Check for Signals:
Is there a Flip or LIQ marker near a Supply/Demand zone?
Is volume spiking or a fakeout just occurred?
Look for Reversal or Continuation:
If there’s a Flip at Demand (with high confluence), consider a long setup.
If there’s a LIQ sweep + flip + volume at Supply, consider a short.
Manage Risk:
Don’t chase every signal.
Confirm with your entry criteria and preferred session timing.
Pro Tips:
Highest confidence trades:
When dashboard signals and chart arrows/markers agree, especially with high confluence and volume spike.
Adapt pip distance filter:
Dashboard is tuned for FX and gold; for other assets, adjust pip-size filter if needed.
Use alerts (if enabled):
Set up custom TradingView alerts for “Flip” or “Liquidity” signals for auto-notifications.
Designed to help you make professional, objective decisions—without chart clutter or second-guessing!

Automated Scalping Signals with TP/SL Indicator [QuantAlgo]🟢 Overview
The Automated Scalping Signals with Take Profit & Stop Loss Indicator is a multi-timeframe trading system that combines market structure analysis with directional bias filtering to identify potential scalping opportunities. It detects Points of Interest (POI) including Fair Value Gaps (FVG) and Order Blocks (OB) while cross-referencing entries with higher timeframe exponential moving average positioning to create systematic entry conditions.
The indicator features adaptive timeframe calculations that automatically scale analysis periods based on your chart timeframe, maintaining consistent analytical relationships across different trading sessions. It provides integrated trade management with stop loss calculation methods, configurable risk-reward ratios, and real-time performance tracking through dashboard displays showing trade statistics, bias direction, and active position status.
This advanced system is designed for low timeframe trading, typically performing optimally on 1 to 15-minute charts across popular instruments such as OANDA:XAUUSD , CME_MINI:MES1! , CME_MINI:ES1! , CME_MINI:MNQ1! , CBOT_MINI:YM1! , CBOT_MINI:MYM1! , BYBIT:BTCUSDT.P , BYBIT:ETHUSDT.P , or any asset and timeframe of your preference.
🟢 How It Works
The indicator operates using a dual-timeframe mathematical framework where higher timeframe exponential moving averages establish directional bias through cross-over analysis, while simultaneously scanning for specific market structure patterns on the POI timeframe. The timeframe calculation engine uses multiplication factors to determine analysis periods, ensuring the bias timeframe provides trend context while the POI timeframe captures structural formations.
The structural analysis begins with FVG detection, which systematically scans price action to identify imbalances where gaps exist between consecutive candle ranges with no overlapping wicks. When such gaps are detected, the algorithm measures their size against minimum thresholds to filter out insignificant formations. Concurrently, OB recognition analyzes three-candle sequences, examining specific open/close relationships that indicate potential institutional accumulation zones. Once these structural patterns are identified, the algorithm cross-references them against the higher timeframe bias direction, creating a validation filter that only permits entries aligned with the prevailing EMA cross-over state. When price subsequently intersects these validated POI zones, entry signals generate with the system calculating entry levels at zone midpoints, then applying the selected stop loss methodology combined with the configured risk-reward ratio to determine take profit placement.
To mirror realistic trading conditions, the indicator incorporates configurable slippage calculations that account for execution differences between intended and actual fill prices. When trades reach their take profit or stop loss levels, the algorithm applies slippage adjustments that worsen the exit prices in a conservative manner - reducing take profit fills and increasing stop loss impact. This approach ensures backtesting results reflect more realistic performance expectations by accounting for spread costs, market volatility during execution, and liquidity constraints that occur in live trading environments.
It also has a performance dashboard that continuously tracks and displays comprehensive trading metrics:
1/ Bias TF / POI TF: Displays the calculated timeframes used for bias analysis and POI detection, showing the actual periods (e.g., "15m / 5m") that result from the multiplier settings to confirm proper adaptive timeframe selection
2/ Bias Direction: Shows current market trend assessment (Bullish, Bearish, or Sideways) derived from EMA cross-over analysis to indicate which trade directions align with prevailing momentum
3/ Data Processing: Indicates how many price bars have been analyzed by the system, helping users verify if complete historical data has been processed for comprehensive strategy validation
4/ Total Trades: Displays the cumulative number of completed trades plus any active positions, providing volume assessment for statistical significance of other metrics
5/ Wins/Losses: Shows the raw count of profitable versus unprofitable trades, offering immediate insight into strategy effectiveness frequency
6/ Win Rate: Reveals the percentage of successful trades, where values above 50% generally indicate effective entry timing and values below suggest strategy refinement needs
7/ Total R-Multiple: Displays cumulative risk-reward performance across all trades, with positive values demonstrating profitable system operation and negative values indicating net losses requiring analysis
8/ Average R Win/Loss: Shows average risk-reward ratios for winning and losing trades separately, where winning averages approaching the configured take profit ratio indicate minimal slippage impact while losing averages near -1.0 suggest effective stop loss execution
9/ TP Ratio / Slippage: Displays the configured take profit ratio and slippage settings with calculated performance impact, showing how execution costs affect actual versus theoretical returns
10/ Profit Factor: Calculates the ratio of total winning amounts to total losing amounts, where values above 1.5 suggest robust profitability, values between 1.0-1.5 indicate modest success, and values below 1.0 show net losses
11/ Maximum Drawdown: Tracks the largest peak-to-trough decline in R-multiple terms, with smaller negative values indicating better capital preservation and risk control during losing streaks
🟢 How to Use
Start by applying the indicator to your chart and observe its performance across different market conditions to understand how it identifies bias direction and POI formations. Then navigate to the settings panel to configure the Bias Timeframe Multiplier for trend context sensitivity and POI Timeframe Multiplier for structural analysis frequency according to your trading preference and objectives.
Next, fine-tune the EMA periods in Bias Settings to control trend detection sensitivity and select your preferred POI types based on your analytical preference. Proceed to configure your Risk Management approach by selecting from the available stop loss calculation methods and setting the Take Profit ratio that aligns with your risk tolerance and profit objectives. Complete the setup by customizing Display Settings to control table visibility and trade visualization elements, adjusting UI positioning and colors for optimal chart readability, then activate Alert Conditions for automated notifications on trade entries, exits, and bias direction changes to support systematic trade management.

Path of Least ResistancePath of Least Resistance (PLR)
Concept Overview
The Path of Least Resistance indicator identifies key zones on your chart that act like "muddy" or "sticky" areas where price tends to get bogged down, creating choppy and unpredictable price action. Between these zones lie the "empty spaces" - clear paths where price can move freely with momentum and direction.
The Analogy: Muddy Fields vs Open Roads
Think of your chart like a landscape:
🟫 ZONES (Muddy/Sticky Areas)
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) from higher timeframes
Pivot wick zones from higher timeframe pivots
Areas where price gets "stuck" and churns
Like walking through thick mud - slow, choppy, unpredictable movement
Price action becomes erratic and difficult to trade
🟢 EMPTY SPACES (Open Roads)
The clear areas between zones
Where price can move freely with momentum
Like driving on an open highway - smooth, directional movement
The "Path of Least Resistance" for price movement
Trading Philosophy
AVOID Trading Within Zones:
Price action is typically choppy and unpredictable
Higher probability of false signals and whipsaws
Like trying to drive through mud - you'll get stuck
TRADE Through the Empty Spaces:
Look for moves that travel between zones
Price tends to move with momentum and direction
Higher probability setups with cleaner price action
Like taking the highway instead of back roads
Zone Types Detected
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)
Imbalances from higher timeframe candles
Areas where price "owes" a return visit
Often act as magnets, creating choppy price action
Pivot Wick Zones
Upper and lower wicks from higher timeframe pivots
Rejection areas where price previously struggled
Often create resistance/support that leads to choppy movement
Color Coding System
The zones dynamically change color based on current price position:
🔴 RED ZONES : Price is below the zone (bearish context)
🟢 GREEN ZONES : Price is above the zone (bullish context)
🔘 GRAY ZONES : Price is within the zone (neutral/choppy area)
The "Mum Trades" Strategy
The best trades - what we call "Mum trades" (trades so obvious even your mum could spot them) - happen in the empty spaces between zones:
✅ High Probability Characteristics:
Clear directional movement between zones
Less noise and false signals
Higher momentum and follow-through
Cleaner technical patterns
❌ Avoid These Areas:
Trading within the muddy zones
Expecting clean moves through sticky areas
Fighting against the natural flow of price
Key Features
Auto Timeframe Detection : Automatically selects appropriate higher timeframe
Dynamic Zone Management : Overlapping zones are automatically cleaned up
Real-time Alerts : Get notified when price enters/exits zones
Visual Clarity : Clean zone display with extending boundaries
How to Use
Identify the Zones : Let the indicator mark the muddy areas
Find the Paths : Look for clear spaces between zones
Plan Your Trades : Target moves that travel through empty space
Avoid the Mud : Stay away from trading within the zones
Follow the Flow : Trade with the path of least resistance
Remember
Price, like water, always seeks the path of least resistance. By identifying where that path is clear (empty spaces) versus where it's obstructed (zones), you can align your trading with the natural flow of the market rather than fighting against it.
The goal is simple: Trade the highways, avoid the mud.

Alerts / Notifications
Now for the fun part:
1. Enable Buy/Sell Signal Alerts: Get notifications when buy or sell signals occur.
2. For Alerts to function correctly, set the ''condition'' to the indicator itself.
3. Select ''EMA Bearish Cross'' or ''EMA Bullish Cross'' depending whether you want alerts for either buy/sell signals - Or one can simply set alerts for both scenarios.
4. For ''Interval'' set to ''Same as chart'' - So, the time-frame which you'd like to trade on.
5. For ''Trigger'' set to ''Once Per Bar Close''.
6. Save.
7. Wait for a signal to occur!
NOTE: Before placing a trade, it's often best to also assess the market conditions at that time also - and not rely solely on the signals, the signals are to assist, and it's often occurred a signal has shown, but a pull-back occurs, and a FVG in discount holds -- it's this FVG holding, accompanied by volume, that's the real entry, possibly.
Tip: For the cleanest results, use the indicator during the most active sessions and always check multi-time-frame trend alignment before entering trades. Good Luck! :)

Breaker Blocks & Unicorns (with Deviations) by RiseBreaker Block and Unicorns (with Deviations) - The Highest Probability ICT Pattern
This advanced indicator identifies and tracks ICT Breaker Blocks, while incorporating powerful supplementary features including Unicorn patterns and customizable deviation levels.
These patterns develop through a precise market structure sequence culminating in structural breaks. Following Breaker Block confirmation, users can optionally enable highly customizable deviation levels. Additionally, the indicator can scan active Breaker Blocks for overlapping Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) and Inverted Fair Value Gaps (IFVGs)-(also known as "Unicorns") that represent high-probability trading opportunities, highly regarded in the ICT community.
This comprehensive tool provides unmatched functionality for traders and analysts seeking to track, backtest, and execute Breaker Block strategies. With its extensive feature set and granular customization options, it delivers capabilities that surpass existing alternatives in the market.
What is an ICT Breaker Block?
To explain this, we must understand the ABC sequence that form this pattern. It consists of:
Initial range (from A -> B)
First break point, commonly called "Manipulation" (C)
Second break, which is when the pattern is formed.
Each of these "points" consist of pivot levels, with an adjustable strength.
Breaker Blocks are invalidated and made inactive if price breaks the "C point", or manipulation.
Unicorns
Unicorns are Fair Value Gaps or Inverted Fair Value Gaps that overlap a Breaker Block. Breakers have their associated Unicorn, which is updated until price retraces into said gap.
Standard Deviations
This indicator has options to display deviations based on Breaker Blocks:
Breaker Deviations -> using the initial range (A -> B).
Manipulation Deviations -> using the manipulation (B -> C).

CommonUtils█ OVERVIEW
This library is a utility tool for Pine Script™ developers. It provides a collection of helper functions designed to simplify common tasks such as mapping user-friendly string inputs to Pine Script™ constants and formatting timeframe strings for display. The primary goal is to make main scripts cleaner, more readable, and reduce repetitive boilerplate code. It is envisioned as an evolving resource, with potential for new utilities to be added over time based on community needs and feedback.
█ CONCEPTS
The library primarily focuses on two main concepts:
Input Mapping
Pine Script™ often requires specific constants for function parameters (e.g., `line.style_dashed` for line styles, `position.top_center` for table positions). However, presenting these technical constants directly to users in script inputs can be confusing. Input mapping involves:
Allowing users to select options from more descriptive, human-readable strings (e.g., "Dashed", "Top Center") in the script's settings.
Providing functions within this library (e.g., `mapLineStyle`, `mapTablePosition`) that take these user-friendly strings as input.
Internally, these functions use switch statements or similar logic to convert (map) the input string to the corresponding Pine Script™ constant required by built-in functions.
This approach enhances user experience and simplifies the main script's logic by centralizing the mapping process.
Timeframe Formatting
Raw timeframe strings obtained from variables like `timeframe.period` (e.g., "1", "60", "D", "W") or user inputs are not always ideal for direct display in labels or panels. The `formatTimeframe` function addresses this by:
Taking a raw timeframe string as input.
Parsing this string to identify its numerical part and unit (e.g., minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, seconds, milliseconds).
Converting it into a more standardized and readable format (e.g., "1min", "60min", "Daily", "Weekly", "1s", "10M").
Offering an optional `customSuffix` parameter (e.g., " FVG", " Period") to append to the formatted string, making labels more descriptive, especially in multi-timeframe contexts.
The function is designed to correctly interpret various common timeframe notations used in TradingView.
█ NOTES
Ease of Use: The library functions are designed with simple and understandable signatures. They typically take a string input and return the corresponding Pine Script™ constant or a formatted string.
Default Behaviors: Mapping functions (`mapLineStyle`, `mapTablePosition`, `mapTextSize`) generally return a sensible default value (e.g., `line.style_solid` for `mapLineStyle`) in case of a non-matching input. This helps prevent errors in the main script.
Extensibility of Formatting: The `formatTimeframe` function, with its `customSuffix` parameter, allows for flexible customization of timeframe labels to suit the specific descriptive needs of different indicators or contexts.
Performance Considerations: These utility functions primarily use basic string operations and switch statements. For typical use cases, their impact on overall script performance is negligible. However, if a function like `formatTimeframe` were to be called excessively in a loop with dynamic inputs (which is generally not its intended use), performance should be monitored.
No Dependencies: This library is self-contained and does not depend on any other external Pine Script™ libraries.

Anchored VWAP by Time (Math by Thomas)📄 Description
This tool lets you plot an Anchored Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) starting from any specific date and time you choose. Unlike standard VWAPs that reset daily or weekly, this version gives you full control to track institutional pricing zones from precise anchor points—such as key swing highs/lows, market open, or news-driven candles.
It’s especially useful for price action and Smart Money Concepts (SMC) traders who track liquidity, fair value gaps (FVGs), and institutional zones.
🇮🇳 For NSE India Traders
You can anchor VWAP to Indian market open (e.g., 9:15 AM IST) or major events like RBI policy, earnings, or breakout candles.
The time input uses UTC by default, so for Indian Standard Time (IST), remember:
9:15 AM IST = 3:45 AM UTC
3:30 PM IST = 10:00 AM UTC
⚙️ How to Use
Add the indicator to your chart.
Open the settings panel.
Under “Anchor Start Time”, choose the date & time to begin the VWAP.
Use UTC format (adjust from IST if needed).
Customize the line color and thickness to suit your chart style.
The VWAP will begin plotting from that time forward.
🔎 Best Use Cases
Track VWAP from intraday range breakouts
Anchor from swing highs/lows to identify mean reversion zones
Combine with your FVGs, Order Blocks, or CHoCHs
Monitor VWAP reactions during key macro events or expiry days
🔧 Clean Design
No labels are used, keeping your chart clean.
Works on all timeframes (1min to Daily).
Designed for serious intraday & positional traders.

1. Introduction
The Swing-Failure-Pattern (SFP) – Confirmed Short indicator spots and tracks bearish SFPs on any market and timeframe, with defaults tuned for Daily charts.
A bearish SFP occurs when price sweeps a prior swing high (liquidity grab) and then decisively rejects lower , signalling a possible trend reversal or sharp pullback.
This script automatically:
Identifies the liquidity sweep & rejection (‐"SFP-SHORT" label)
Confirms directional intent via a structure-breaking close below the setup low
Paints a preferred sell-on-retest zone and tracks its validity
Identifies optimal entry opportunities when price retests the zone
Generates optional retest and entry alerts when trading conditions appear
Self-cleans after a configurable number of bars – keeping your chart tidy
Default Timeframe : Daily
Default Market : Crypto / FX majors
Works On : All symbols + timeframes – simply adjust parameters.
2. Core Concept – What Is an SFP?
Sweep (Liquidity Grab) – Price trades above a meaningful swing high, triggering stops & inducing breakout buyers.
Rejection – The same bar (or the next) closes back below the swept high, invalidating the breakout.
Structure Break – Bears confirm intent by closing below the "setup low" (the most recent pivot low before the sweep).
Retest – Price retraces to the sweep zone. Traders seek entries inside the upper half of that zone with invalidation just above the swing high.
The indicator encodes these four steps so you can spot high-quality bearish reversals without manual bar-by-bar analysis.
3. How the Indicator Works
Phase: Sweep & Rejection
Script Logic: high > lastSwingHigh and close < lastSwingHigh
Visual Cue: Red SFP-SHORT label above candle
Phase: Structure Break
Script Logic: Close < setupLow while pattern locked
Visual Cue: Zone (red line-box) plotted; SFP-SHORT label stays
Phase: Retest Tracking
Script Logic: Zone stays active for retestExpiry bars or until tapped
Visual Cue: Orange SFP-RETEST label when hit
Phase: Entry Signal
Script Logic: Price rejection within retest zone
Visual Cue: Green ENTRY label at optimal entry point
Phase: Expiry / Cleanup
Script Logic: Zone deleted after expiry
Visual Cue: Labels fade but remain visible for reference
All calculations reset after each completed/expired pattern ensuring fresh, uncluttered signals.
4. Visual Elements & Their Meaning
SFP-SHORT (red) – Bar that swept a prior high and closed below it.
Red Box / Line – Preferred sell zone between the swing high (upper bound) and dynamic lower bound (see sizing methods). Extends right until filled/expired.
SFP-RETEST (orange) – Bar that first tags the zone after confirmation.
ENTRY (green) – Appears when a high-probability entry signal occurs within the retest zone.
EXPIRED (gray) – Appears when the retest zone expires without being hit.
Visual Persistence – Labels fade but remain visible after expiry for reference and historical analysis.
5. Input Parameters Explained
Pivot Detection
Pivot left / right : Bars left/right of the pivot that must stay below/above it. Tip : Symmetrical values (3/3) work best for clean structure.
Retest Management
Retest expiry (bars) : Lifespan of a retest zone before it is considered stale. Default: 14 bars on Daily . Tip : Shorten for intraday, lengthen for swing trading.
Retest Zone Sizing
Sizing method : Select Static %, ATR-based or Hybrid logic for the lower boundary. Tip : Hybrid balances tight stops with realistic fills.
Static % : Fixed fraction of sweep range when Static/Hybrid is selected. Tip : Higher % deepens zone & widens stop.
ATR period : Look-back length for ATR when volatility sizing is used. Tip : Increase to smooth choppy markets.
ATR multiplier : Multiplier applied to ATR in ATR-based/Hybrid mode. Tip : Higher value widens zone during volatility.
Visual – Retest Zone
Show retest zone box : Toggles drawing of the semi-transparent sell zone box. Tip : Disable for ultra-clean look.
Retest box color : Fill colour of the box (alpha = transparency). Tip : Match your chart theme.
Max retest boxes : How many historical boxes remain visible (0 = unlimited). Tip : Lower to boost performance.
Only show active boxes : Automatically deletes a box once it's hit. Tip : Reduces clutter during back-testing.
Visual – General
Minimal mode : Hides most visuals apart from critical labels. Tip : Ideal for screenshots.
Show retest zone line : Draws a vertical line linking upper/lower boundaries. Tip : Acts as a quick depth guide.
Show ENTRY labels : Plots 'ENTRY' on optimal candles. Tip : Turn off for manual confirmation.
Labels
Label size : Overall size of all labels. Tip : tiny / small / normal.
Use simple label style : Switches to pixel text style for labels. Tip : Faster rendering on low-spec machines.
Advanced
minPct / maxPct (hard-coded) : Internal floor/cap for Hybrid logic. Tip : Exposed in code for power-users only.
Zone-Sizing Methods
Static – Lower bound = sweepRange × staticPct.
ATR-based – Lower bound = ATR × multiplier, normalised to the sweepRange.
Hybrid – Uses the greater of Static and ATR-based (capped by an internal safety ceiling).
6. Step-by-Step Trading Playbook
Identify Context – Prefer setups against extended moves into obvious highs (e.g., daily swing highs, prior week high, round numbers).
Wait for SFP Confirmation – The indicator will label an SFP-SHORT only after the candle closes. Do not front-run.
Structure-Break Close – A close below setupLow turns the zone live. This is your go signal – prepare sell orders.
Place Orders in the Zone
Entry : Limit order anywhere between retestLower and the swing high.
Stop : 1-2 ticks/pips above the swing high.
Risk Management
Size position so risk per trade ≤ account risk % (common: 0.5-1%).
If no retest before retestExpiry bars → cancel order .
Targets
Conservative: First liquidity pocket / FVG below.
Aggressive: 2-3× risk or next HTF support.
Trail or Partial – Consider trailing stop once 1R is achieved or partial profit at 1R.
7. Example Workflow (Daily BTC-USDT)
BTC trades to a fresh one-month high at $31 050 sweeping prior highs.
Candle closes at $30 420 – below the swept high – SFP-SHORT label appears.
Two days later, candle closes below setupLow at $29 880 – confirmation & zone plotted (upper = $31 050, lower ≈ $30 550).
Five days later price retests the zone hitting $30 750 – SFP-RETEST alert fires, trade filled.
Stop placed @ $31 120 (70$ risk). 1R target = $29 680 reached four days later.
8. Alerts & Automation
SFP Short confirmed
Fires When: Structure-break close below setupLow.
Suggested Action: Prepare/submit sell-limit order in the zone.
SFP Short retest
Fires When: Price enters the retest zone.
Suggested Action: Monitor for entry signals or prepare for manual entry.
SFP Short Entry Signal
Fires When: Optimal entry conditions detected within retest zone.
Suggested Action: Execute short trade with defined risk parameters.
Use TradingView's Webhook URL to forward alerts to a trade-execution bot (e.g., PineConnector) for automated order placement.
9. Tips, Tricks & Best Practices
Combine with HTF Bias – Only take bearish SFPs in bearish weekly trend.
Watch Volume – High volume on the sweep bar adds conviction.
Time Window – SFPs during NY session FX / US session crypto tend to be stronger.
Cluster Zones – Multiple overlapping SFP zones increase probability; treat the cluster as one larger supply.
Avoid News – Skip SFPs forming minutes before high-impact macro news.
10. FAQ
Q: Can I use this on lower timeframes?
A: Yes – reduce retestExpiry (e.g., 15 bars on 15-minute) and test ATR-based sizing.
Q: Does it work for longs?
A: This script focuses on bearish SFPs. Clone & invert conditions for longs.
Q: Why did a zone disappear?
A: Either it expired (retestExpiry) without a retest or the cleanup routine removed old visuals to stay within Pine limits (500 objects per type).
Q: What's the difference between the "SFP-RETEST" and "ENTRY" signals?
A: "SFP-RETEST" indicates price has entered the zone, while "ENTRY" signals an optimal entry opportunity based on price rejection within the zone.
Q: How do I customize the label appearance?
A: Use the "Label size" and "Use simple label style" settings to adjust all labels to your preferred visual style.
Happy trading & trade safe!
11. Advanced Configuration & Asset-Class Playbook
Why does the retest box feel "too high" and how do I actually get filled? Use the quick tweaks below or the power-user code snippet to shape the zone to your personality and instrument.
11.1 Why the default box is shallow
The Static 25 % / ATR-Hybrid logic keeps stops small. Around 50 % of Daily BTC SFPs never look back – that's the cost of tight risk. If you need higher fill-rates, deepen the zone (11.2).
11.2 Three slider moves – no coding required
Retest zone sizing method – switch Static → Hybrid or ATR-based
Static % – raise from 0.25 → 0.45-0.60
ATR multiplier – raise from 1.0 → 1.5-2.0
Each turn pulls the lower edge of the box deeper while keeping the invalidation at the swing high.
11.3 One-liner for coders
To allow >60 % of the sweep range edit the source:
Old code:
minPct = 0.05
maxPct = 0.60
New code:
minPct = 0.05
maxPct = input.float(0.60, "Max retest % of sweep", step = 0.05, minval = 0.10, maxval = 0.95)
Then dial the cap up to ~0.80-0.90 from the settings panel.
11.4 If price never comes back…
No-retest partial – take 25-40 % size on the confirmation candle, stop above the high.
Lower-TF confirmation – drop to 4 h / 1 h and hunt an internal SFP or bearish FVG inside the sweep.
ATR trail – if price dumps immediately, trail the stop above each new lower-high.
11.5 Asset-Class Cheat-Sheet
Crypto – Daily : Static %: 0.20-0.35, ATR mult: 1.0, Retest Expiry: 12-20 . Notes : High volatility; sweeps expand fast.
FX Majors – 4 h/D : Static %: 0.25-0.40, ATR mult: 1.2, Retest Expiry: 15-25 . Notes : ATR handles session compression.
Index Futures – 1 h : Static %: 0.30-0.50, ATR mult: 1.5, Retest Expiry: 10-20 . Notes : Hybrid recommended; gaps tighten sweeps.
US Equities – 30 m : Static %: 0.35-0.55, ATR mult: 1.5-2.0, Retest Expiry: 10-14 . Notes : Consider no-retest entry on earnings spikes.

ICT-Elliott Hybrid Oscillator네이버 프리미엄 콘텐츠 > 재테크 사관학교 검색
This indicator uses Elliott Wave Theory and ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts to help easily and accurately predict when asset prices like cryptocurrencies or stocks will rise or fall.
📌 Easy Explanation of Terms
✅ What is Elliott Wave?
A theory stating that price movements follow a specific pattern (5 upward waves + 3 downward waves) repeatedly. Simply put, it's about repetitive cycles of rises and falls creating overall trends.
✅ What is ICT Theory?
A strategy that identifies optimal trading times by observing critical price areas traded by institutional investors (Order Blocks), imbalances in price (Fair Value Gaps - FVG), and major turning points (Break of Structure - BOS).
📈 Signals Provided by the Indicator
🔹 ① Pivot Highs & Lows
Red ▼: Short-term high (increased likelihood of price falling)
Green ▲: Short-term low (increased likelihood of price rising)
🔹 ② Fair Value Gap (FVG)
Green highlighted area: Zone where price is likely to rise again
Red highlighted area: Zone where price is likely to fall again
🔹 ③ Break of Structure (BOS)
Blue "BOS Up": Indicates a shift to an upward trend
Orange "BOS Down": Indicates a shift to a downward trend
⏳ Recommended Timeframe Combinations
| Major Trend (Basic Analysis) | Entry Point (Detailed Analysis) | Short-term Timing (Precision Analysis) |
| ---------------------------- | ------------------------------- | -------------------------------------- |
| 4-hour | 1-hour | 15-minute |
Use the 4-hour timeframe to gauge overall trends,
the 1-hour timeframe to pinpoint exact entry and exit points,
and the 15-minute timeframe for precise timing.
Include Source
🕯 Recommended Candle Patterns
* Pin Bar (Long wick candle) → Trend reversal signal
* Engulfing Candle (fully covering previous candle) → Strong trend reversal signal
* Hammer & Shooting Star (small body with a long wick) → Bullish or bearish reversal signal
* Doji (balance between buyers and sellers) → High potential for trend reversal
US30 Smart Money 5M/4H Strategy🧠 How It Works
✅ 1. 4H Trend Bias Detection
Uses the 4-hour chart (internally) to determine if the market is in an uptrend or downtrend.
Background turns green for bullish trend, red for bearish trend.
This helps filter trades — only take longs during uptrend, shorts during downtrend.
✅ 2. Liquidity Sweeps (Stop Hunts) on 5M
Highlights candles that break previous highs/lows and then reverse (typical of institutional stop raids).
Draws a shaded red box above sweep-high candles and green box under sweep-lows.
These indicate key reversal zones.
✅ 3. Order Block Zones
Detects bullish/bearish engulfing patterns after liquidity sweeps.
Draws a supply or demand zone box extending forward.
These zones show where institutions likely placed large orders.
✅ 4. FVG Midpoint from 30-Min Chart
Detects Fair Value Gaps (imbalances) on the 30-minute chart.
Plots a line at the midpoint of the gap (EQ level), which is often revisited for entries or rejections.
✅ 5. Buy/Sell Signals (Non-Repainting)
Buy = 4H uptrend + 5M liquidity sweep low + bullish engulfing candle.
Sell = 4H downtrend + 5M liquidity sweep high + bearish engulfing.
Prints green “BUY” or red “SELL” label on the chart — these do not repaint.
📈 How to Use It
Wait for trend bias — only take trades in the direction of the 4H trend.
Watch for liquidity sweep boxes — these hint a stop hunt just occurred.
Look for a signal label (BUY/SELL) — confirms entry criteria.
Use FVG EQ lines & Order Block zones as confluence or targets.
Take trades after NY open (9:30 AM EST) for best momentum.
ICT Turtle Soup (Liquidity Reversal)ICT Turtle Soup — Liquidity Reversal Detection
Trap the Trap: A Precision Reversal Strategy from the Inner Circle Trader Playbook
This indicator implements the Turtle Soup liquidity reversal setup — a widely used ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concept that targets false breakouts beyond recent swing highs or lows. These patterns typically occur when price grabs liquidity above or below a known level, then snaps back, trapping retail traders and creating a high-probability reversal scenario.
🔍 What This Script Does:
Detects Liquidity Sweeps Above/Below Key Swing Levels
Uses a customizable swing lookback to identify recent swing highs and lows.
Triggers a Bearish Turtle Soup when price runs above a previous swing high and closes back below.
Triggers a Bullish Turtle Soup when price sweeps below a prior swing low and closes back above.
Plots Clear Visual Signals
Reversal signals appear as 🐢🔻 (Bearish) or 🐢🔺 (Bullish) markers directly on your chart.
Optional labels can be enabled for enhanced journaling and review.
Real-Time Alerts
Receive alert notifications when a Turtle Soup setup is detected — ideal for scalpers or intraday traders watching for reversals around liquidity pools.
⚙️ Customization Options:
Set the swing lookback sensitivity (default: 5)
Enable or disable labels
Choose label font size
Customize colors for bullish and bearish signals
💡 How to Use:
Deploy on intraday timeframes (e.g. 5m–15m) for high-resolution liquidity analysis.
Watch for signals at key highs/lows, session extremes, or zones where liquidity is likely resting.
Combine with tools like FVGs, Order Blocks, and OTE zones for layered confirmation.
🔗 Combine With These Tools for a Complete SMC Edge:
✅ First FVG — Opening Range Fair Value Gap Detector
✅ ICT SMC Liquidity Grabs + OB + Fibonacci OTE Levels

Together, these tools form a high-precision Smart Money toolkit — helping traders map, anticipate, and act on institutional-level liquidity events with clarity and confidence.
ICT Turtle Soup (Liquidity Reversal)ICT Turtle Soup — Liquidity Reversal Detection
Classic Liquidity Trap Reversal Strategy for Smart Money Traders
This indicator implements the ICT Turtle Soup concept — a classic liquidity-based reversal pattern — which occurs when price runs above or below a recent swing level to grab liquidity, then sharply reverses. This pattern is commonly used in Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and Inner Circle Trader (ICT) strategies to anticipate false breakouts and high-probability reversals.
🔍 What This Script Does:
Identifies Swing Highs & Lows
Detects recent swing highs and lows using a customizable lookback period.
Tracks Liquidity Grabs
A bearish Turtle Soup setup is triggered when price breaks above a recent swing high but closes back below it.
A bullish Turtle Soup setup is triggered when price breaks below a recent swing low but closes back above it.
These conditions often signal liquidity traps, where price sweeps resting orders before reversing.
Plots Signals Directly on the Chart
Turtle Soup setups are marked with 🐢🔻 (bearish) and 🐢🔺 (bullish) labels.
Optional full-text labels can also be displayed for clarity and journaling.
Includes Alert Conditions
Alerts can be enabled to notify you of bullish or bearish Turtle Soup reversals in real-time.
⚙️ Customization Features:
Adjustable swing lookback period
Enable/disable Turtle Soup labels
Set label font size
Choose your preferred bullish/bearish signal colors
💡 How to Use:
Add this script to your chart (ideally on intraday timeframes such as 5m–15m).
Wait for a Turtle Soup signal near a key swing high/low or liquidity zone.
Combine with other confirmation tools (e.g., FVGs, Order Blocks, OTE) for stronger setups.
Use alerts to stay ahead of fast-moving reversals.
🧠 Why It Works:
Turtle Soup setups are rooted in liquidity theory — they exploit the market’s tendency to sweep obvious swing levels before reversing. These moves often trap retail traders and mark the beginning of Smart Money entries.
🔗 Best Used With:
Maximize the edge by combining this with other SMC tools:
✅ First FVG — Opening Range Fair Value Gap Detector
✅ ICT SMC Liquidity Grabs + OB + Fibonacci OTE Levels
✅ Liquidity Levels — Smart Swing Lows
Together, they create a complete ecosystem for identifying, confirming, and executing liquidity-driven trade setups with precision.

The Fractal Range Model follows a specific lifecycle, which highlights the current state of the model and determines whether a trade opportunity is valid.
The model's lifecycle includes the following statuses:
Formation (grey)
Invalidation (red)
Success (green)
1. Formation
The Formation phase marks the initial setup of the Fractal Range Model. During this stage, the model identifies and plots key components, such as:
Sweeps: Market movements that indicate a potential reversal or strong shift in trend.
CISD (Change In State of Delivery): A structural change that provides insight into trend shifts.
Once these components are detected, the model automatically calculates and displays Projections and Liquidity Levels , offering insights into potential price action movements.
At this stage, the model also identifies and displays the following key elements:
HTF PD Arrays (Higher-Timeframe Price Delivery Arrays)
LTF PD Arrays (Lower-Timeframe Price Delivery Arrays)
Smart Money Technique (SMT)
If any of these elements are present, they will be automatically displayed on the chart.
2. Invalidation
A Fractal Range Model is considered invalidated when the price does not reach the 2 Standard Deviation level or the first identified liquidity level, and when the price breaks above the high that formed the Sweep.
Invalidation signals that the original setup is no longer reliable, and traders should avoid taking action based on the model's original parameters.
Key invalidation conditions:
Price fails to reach the 2 Standard Deviation level.
Price fails to reach the first liquidity level.
Price breaks the high/low that initiated the Sweep.
A potentially invalidated model is marked with a purple color above the label, indicating the sweep is invalidated by the next candle, but not the high that formed the sweep.
3. Success
A Fractal Range Model is considered successful when the price reaches the 2 Standard Deviation level or the first identified liquidity level. This indicates that the model's predictions align with actual market movements, confirming the setup's validity and providing a potential trading signal.
At this stage, alongside Projections and Liquidity levels, you'll also notice the C-area — the region between the current candle's open and the previous candle's mean. If respected, price action will follow the model's direction.
Key success conditions:
Price reaches the 2 Standard Deviation level.
Price reaches the first liquidity level.
By leveraging these phases, Formation, Invalidation, and Success, traders can effectively manage their positions, minimize risk, and capitalize on high-probability setups based on the Fractal Range Model.

Nef33 Forex & Crypto Trading Signals PRO
1. Understanding the Indicator's Context
The indicator generates signals based on confluence (trend, volume, key zones, etc.), but it does not include predefined SL or TP levels. To establish them, we must:
Use dynamic or static support/resistance levels already present in the script.
Incorporate volatility (such as ATR) to adjust the levels based on market conditions.
Define a risk/reward ratio (e.g., 1:2).
2. Options for Determining SL and TP
Below, I provide several ideas based on the tools available in the script:
Stop Loss (SL)
The SL should protect you from adverse movements. You can base it on:
ATR (Volatility): Use the smoothed ATR (atr_smooth) multiplied by a factor (e.g., 1.5 or 2) to set a dynamic SL.
Buy: SL = Entry Price - (atr_smooth * atr_mult).
Sell: SL = Entry Price + (atr_smooth * atr_mult).
Key Zones: Place the SL below a support (for buys) or above a resistance (for sells), using Order Blocks, Fair Value Gaps, or Liquidity Zones.
Buy: SL below the nearest ob_lows or fvg_lows.
Sell: SL above the nearest ob_highs or fvg_highs.
VWAP: Use the daily VWAP (vwap_day) as a critical level.
Buy: SL below vwap_day.
Sell: SL above vwap_day.
Take Profit (TP)
The TP should maximize profits. You can base it on:
Risk/Reward Ratio: Multiply the SL distance by a factor (e.g., 2 or 3).
Buy: TP = Entry Price + (SL Distance * 2).
Sell: TP = Entry Price - (SL Distance * 2).
Key Zones: Target the next resistance (for buys) or support (for sells).
Buy: TP at the next ob_highs, fvg_highs, or liq_zone_high.
Sell: TP at the next ob_lows, fvg_lows, or liq_zone_low.
Ichimoku: Use the cloud levels (Senkou Span A/B) as targets.
Buy: TP at senkou_span_a or senkou_span_b (whichever is higher).
Sell: TP at senkou_span_a or senkou_span_b (whichever is lower).
3. Practical Implementation
Since the script does not automatically draw SL/TP, you can:
Calculate them manually: Observe the chart and use the levels mentioned.
Modify the code: Add SL/TP as labels (label.new) at the moment of the signal.
Here’s an example of how to modify the code to display SL and TP based on ATR with a 1:2 risk/reward ratio:
Modified Code (Signals Section)
Find the lines where the signals (trade_buy and trade_sell) are generated and add the following:
pinescript
// Calculate SL and TP based on ATR
atr_sl_mult = 1.5 // Multiplier for SL
atr_tp_mult = 3.0 // Multiplier for TP (1:2 ratio)
sl_distance = atr_smooth * atr_sl_mult
tp_distance = atr_smooth * atr_tp_mult
if trade_buy
entry_price = close
sl_price = entry_price - sl_distance
tp_price = entry_price + tp_distance
label.new(bar_index, low, "Buy: " + str.tostring(math.round(bull_conditions, 1)), color=color.green, textcolor=color.white, style=label.style_label_up, size=size.tiny)
label.new(bar_index, sl_price, "SL: " + str.tostring(math.round(sl_price, 2)), color=color.red, textcolor=color.white, style=label.style_label_down, size=size.tiny)
label.new(bar_index, tp_price, "TP: " + str.tostring(math.round(tp_price, 2)), color=color.blue, textcolor=color.white, style=label.style_label_up, size=size.tiny)
if trade_sell
entry_price = close
sl_price = entry_price + sl_distance
tp_price = entry_price - tp_distance
label.new(bar_index, high, "Sell: " + str.tostring(math.round(bear_conditions, 1)), color=color.red, textcolor=color.white, style=label.style_label_down, size=size.tiny)
label.new(bar_index, sl_price, "SL: " + str.tostring(math.round(sl_price, 2)), color=color.red, textcolor=color.white, style=label.style_label_up, size=size.tiny)
label.new(bar_index, tp_price, "TP: " + str.tostring(math.round(tp_price, 2)), color=color.blue, textcolor=color.white, style=label.style_label_down, size=size.tiny)
Code Explanation
SL: Calculated by subtracting/adding sl_distance to the entry price (close) depending on whether it’s a buy or sell.
TP: Calculated with a double distance (tp_distance) for a 1:2 risk/reward ratio.
Visualization: Labels are added to the chart to display SL (red) and TP (blue).
4. Practical Strategy Without Modifying the Code
If you don’t want to modify the script, follow these steps manually:
Entry: Take the trade_buy or trade_sell signal.
SL: Check the smoothed ATR (atr_smooth) on the chart or calculate a fixed level (e.g., 1.5 times the ATR). Also, review nearby key zones (OB, FVG, VWAP).
TP: Define a target based on the next key zone or multiply the SL distance by 2 or 3.
Example:
Buy at 100, ATR = 2.
SL = 100 - (2 * 1.5) = 97.
TP = 100 + (2 * 3) = 106.
5. Recommendations
Test in Demo: Apply this logic in a demo account to adjust the multipliers (atr_sl_mult, atr_tp_mult) based on the market (forex or crypto).
Combine with Zones: If the ATR-based SL is too wide, use the nearest OB or FVG as a reference.
Risk/Reward Ratio: Adjust the TP based on your tolerance (1:1, 1:2, 1:3)
TheRookAlgoPROThe Rook Algo PRO is an automated strategy that uses ICT dealing ranges to get in sync with potential market trends. It detects the market sentiment and then place a sell or a buy trade in premium/discount or in breakouts with the desired risk management.
Why is useful?
This algorithm is designed to help traders to quickly identify the current state of the market and easily back test their strategy over longs periods of time and different markets its ideal for traders that want to profit on potential expansions and want to avoid consolidations this algo will tell you when the expansion is likely to begin and when is just consolidating and failing moves to avoid trading.
How it works and how it does it?
The Algo detects the current and previous market structure to identify current ranges and ICT dealing ranges that are created when the market takes buyside liquidity and sellside liquidity, it will tell if the market is in a consolidation, expansion, retracement or in a potential turtle soup environment, it will tell if the range is small or big compared to the previous one. Is important to use it in a trending markets because when is ranging the signals lose effectiveness.
This algo is similar to the previously released the Rook algo with the additional features that is an automated strategy that can take trades using filters with the desired risk reward and different entry types and trade management options.
Also this version plots FVGS(fair value gaps) during expansions, and detects consolidations with a box and the mid point or average. Some bars colors are available to help in the identification of the market state. It has the option to show colors of the dealing ranges first detected state.
How to use it?
Start selecting the desired type of entry you want to trade, you can choose to take Discount longs, premium sells, breakouts longs and sells, this first four options are the selected by default. You can enable riskier options like trades without confirmation in premium and discount or turtle soup of the current or previous dealing range. This last ones are ideal for traders looking to enter on a counter trend but has to be used with caution with a higher timeframe reference.
In the picture below we can see a premium sell signal configuration followed by a discount buy signal It display the stop break even level and take profit.
This next image show how the riskier entries work. Because we are not waiting for a confirmation and entering on a counter trend is normal to experience some stop losses because the stop is very tight. Should only be used with a clear Higher timeframe reference as support of the trade idea. This algo has the option to enable standard deviations from the normal stop point to prevent liquidity sweeps. The purple or blue arrows indicate when we are in a potential turtle soup environment.
The algo have a feature called auto-trade enable by default that allow for a reversal of the current trade in case it meets the criteria. And also can take all possible buys or all possible sells that are riskier entries if you just want to see the market sentiment. This is useful when the market is very volatile but is moving not just ranging.
Then we configure the desired trade filters. We have the options to trade only when dealing ranges are in sync for a more secure trend, or we can disable it to take riskier trades like turtle soup trades. We can chose the minimum risk reward to take the trade and the target extension from the current range and the exit type can be when we hit the level or in a retracement that is the default setting. These setting are the most important that determine profitability of the strategy, they has be adjusted depending on the timeframe and market we are trading.
The stop and target levels can also be configured with standard deviations from the current range that way can be adapted to the market volatility.
The Algo allow the user to chose if it want to place break even, or trail the stop. In the picture below we can see it in action. This can work when the trend is very strong if not can lead to multiple reentries or loses.
The last option we can configure is the time where the trades are going to be taken, if we trade usually in the morning then we can just add the morning time by default is set to the morning 730am to 1330pm if you want to trade other times you should change this. Or if we want to enter on the ICT macro times can also be added in a filter. Trade taken with the macro times only enable is visible in the picture below.
Strategy Results

Commission are set to 2USD, slippage to 1tick, the backtesting range is from May 2 2024 to March 2025 for a total of 119 trades, this Strategy default settings are designed to take trades on the daily expansions, trail stop and Break even is activated the exit on profit is on a retracement, and for loses when the stop is hit. The auto-trade option is enable to allow to detect quickly market changes. The strategy give realistic results, makes around 200% of the account in around a year. 1.4 profit factor with around 37% profitable trades. These results can be further improve and adapted to the specific style of trading using the filters.
Remember entries constitute only a small component of a complete winning strategy. Other factors like risk management, position-sizing, trading frequency, trading fees, and many others must also be properly managed to achieve profitability. Past performance doesn’t guarantee future results.

[TehThomas] - ICT SMT DivergencesIntroduction
SMT Divergences is a cutting-edge trading tool designed for traders who utilize Smart Money Techniques (SMT), a core concept in the Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodology. This indicator is specifically built to detect SMT divergences by comparing price action across multiple correlated assets. It helps traders identify institutional activity, liquidity grabs, and inefficiencies in the market, offering valuable insights for high-probability trade setups.
Smart Money Techniques revolve around the idea that institutional traders and large market participants leave behind footprints in the form of price divergences. By analyzing multiple asset pairs simultaneously, this indicator helps traders pinpoint areas where one market structure contradicts another, revealing potential trade opportunities before the majority of retail traders notice them.
What is SMT Divergence?
Smart Money Divergence (SMT) occurs when correlated assets or markets behave differently in key areas of interest. These divergences often indicate market inefficiencies caused by liquidity grabs or institutional order flow. There are two main types of SMT divergences:
1. Bearish SMT Divergence (Smart Money Distribution) 🔴
Occurs when:
One asset makes a higher high, while another correlated asset makes a lower high.
This signals underlying weakness in the price action of the first asset.
Institutions may be offloading positions, preparing for a downward move.
📉 Example: If GBP/USD makes a higher high, but EUR/USD makes a lower high, it indicates potential weakness in GBP/USD and a possible short opportunity.
2. Bullish SMT Divergence (Smart Money Accumulation) 🔵
Occurs when:
One asset makes a lower low, while another correlated asset makes a higher low.
This suggests strength and potential accumulation by institutional traders.
Smart Money may be positioning for a bullish reversal.
📈 Example: If NASDAQ (US100) makes a lower low, but S&P 500 (US500) makes a higher low, it could indicate bullish strength in the stock market, suggesting a possible long trade.
How This Indicator Works
The SMT Divergences automatically identifies and plots SMT divergences on your chart, allowing you to spot hidden market imbalances at a glance.
🔍 Key Features
✅ Compare Up to 4 Assets Simultaneously – Select up to four correlated pairs to compare against the main charted asset.
✅ Automatic Detection of SMT Divergences – The script finds divergences in swing highs and swing lows and visually marks them on the chart.
✅ Customizable Line Styles & Colors – Adjust the appearance of the divergence lines and labels to suit your trading style.
✅ Smart Labeling System – Displays which asset pairs are diverging, making it easy to analyze market conditions.
✅ Works Across Multiple Markets – Use for Forex, Indices, Crypto, and Commodities, giving traders flexibility in different asset classes.
✅ Designed for ICT Traders – Aligns perfectly with other ICT concepts such as Liquidity Zones, Order Blocks, and Fair Value Gaps (FVGs).
🛠 Indicator Settings & Customization
The indicator provides various settings to tailor it to your trading preferences:
Pivot Lookback Length: Adjusts how many bars the indicator looks back to determine swing highs/lows.
Symbol Selection: Choose up to four additional assets to compare against your main trading pair.
Divergence Line Colors: Customize the color of bearish (red) and bullish (blue) divergences for better visibility.
Line Styles: Choose between solid, dotted, or dashed lines to highlight divergences in your preferred way.
Label Customization: Modify text color and display preferences for a clean and informative chart layout.
How to Use This Indicator in Your Trading Strategy
This indicator is best used in combination with other ICT concepts to improve confluence and increase trade accuracy. Here’s how you can integrate it into your trading strategy:
🔹 Step 1: Identify SMT Divergences
Wait for bullish or bearish SMT divergences to appear on your chart.
Check if the divergence aligns with key liquidity zones, fair value gaps (FVGs), or order blocks.
🔹 Step 2: Confirm Institutional Activity
Look for liquidity sweeps (stop hunts) before a potential reversal.
If a bearish SMT divergence forms near a major resistance level, it may signal Smart Money selling.
If a bullish SMT divergence forms near a support zone, it could indicate accumulation.
🔹 Step 3: Enter a Trade with Confluence
Combine SMT divergences with market structure shifts to time entries.
Use additional ICT tools like Premium & Discount Arrays, Volume Profile, and Market Maker Models for confirmation.
Set stop-losses above liquidity zones and aim for high-risk reward ratios.
🔹 Step 4: Manage Risk & Take Profits
Always use proper risk management, keeping an eye on liquidity grabs and market sentiment.
Consider taking partial profits at key structural points and letting the rest of the trade run.
Why This Indicator is a Game-Changer for ICT Traders
Traditional retail traders often fail to spot Smart Money footprints, which is why many struggle with false breakouts and liquidity traps. The - ICT SMT Divergences indicator eliminates this problem by providing a clear, visual representation of SMT divergences, allowing traders to track institutional movements in real-time.
🔹 Save Time – No need to manually compare charts; the script does the work for you.
🔹 Improve Accuracy – Get high-probability trade setups by following institutional footprints.
🔹 Enhance Your Trading Edge – Use SMT divergences in combination with liquidity grabs, order blocks, and fair value gaps to refine your strategy.
🔹 Universal Market Compatibility – Works for Forex, Indices, Crypto, Commodities, and even Stocks, giving you flexibility in different markets.
Final Thoughts
The SMT Divergences is a must-have tool for traders who rely on Smart Money Techniques (SMT) and ICT methodologies. By identifying SMT divergences across multiple correlated markets, this indicator provides unparalleled insights into institutional trading behavior and enhances your ability to trade with Smart Money.
Whether you are a day trader, swing trader, or position trader, this indicator will help you make more informed decisions, avoid liquidity traps, and improve your overall profitability.

[TehThomas] - Market Structure Shift (MSS)
- Market Structure Shift (MSS) Script Overview
This TradingView script is designed to help traders identify Market Structure Shifts (MSS) and Breaks of Structure (BOS), which are key concepts in ICT (Inner Circle Trader) and Smart Money Concepts (SMC) trading. By detecting significant shifts in price action, the script provides visual cues and alerts to help traders spot potential trend changes and continuation patterns.
How the Script Works
1. Identifying Swing Highs & Lows
The script detects swing highs and swing lows based on a pivot strength setting (default: 3).
A swing high forms when a candle’s high is higher than the highs of a set number of candles on both sides.
A swing low forms when a candle’s low is lower than the lows of the surrounding candles.
2. Market Structure Shift (MSS) Detection
A bullish MSS occurs when price closes above the most recent swing high after previously being in a bearish trend.
A bearish MSS occurs when price closes below the most recent swing low after being in a bullish trend.
This signals a potential trend reversal and is often a key area for liquidity grabs and smart money entry points.
3. Break of Structure (BOS) Detection (Optional - Can be enabled/disabled in settings)
A BOS is detected when price continues in the direction of the trend, confirming a structural break rather than a shift.
Bullish BOS: Price breaks a swing high but does not reverse (confirms trend continuation).
Bearish BOS: Price breaks a swing low but continues downward.
BOS levels help traders confirm trend strength and potential trade continuation setups.
4. Drawing Structure Lines & Labels
The script plots horizontal lines at the detected MSS and BOS levels.
Labels such as "MSS" or "BOS" appear at the breakout points.
Traders can customize the line style, color, and text size for better visibility.
5. Alert System for MSS & BOS
The script includes alert conditions that notify traders when an MSS or BOS occurs.
Alerts can be set for:
Any MSS / Any BOS
Bullish MSS / Bullish BOS
Bearish MSS / Bearish BOS
Settings You Can Change
The script allows for full customization through the following input parameters:
Pivot Strength (pivot_strength)
Default: 4
Adjusts how many candles must be considered to form a valid swing high or low.
Higher values result in stronger structure points, while lower values detect short-term movements.
Color Settings
Highs Color (highs) → Default: Blue (for bullish structure)
Lows Color (lows) → Default: Red (for bearish structure)
Toggle Display Options
Show BOS (show_bos) → Enables/disables BOS detection.
Show MSS (show_mss) → Enables/disables MSS detection.
Line & Label Customization
BOS Line Style (bos_style) → Options: Solid, Dashed, Dotted
MSS Line Style (mss_style) → Options: Solid, Dashed, Dotted
BOS & MSS Line Width → Adjustable from 1 to 4 pixels
BOS & MSS Text Size → Options: Tiny, Small, Normal, Large, Huge
BOS & MSS Text Position → Options: Left, Center, Right
Why This Script is Useful
✔ Detects Key Market Structure Changes
MSS and BOS are critical for identifying trend reversals and trend continuations.
Helps traders avoid false breakouts by distinguishing between structural shifts and simple breakouts.
✔ Enhances Smart Money Trading Strategies
MSS often aligns with liquidity grabs before price reverses.
BOS confirms continuation trades in strong trends.
Works well with Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), Order Blocks (OBs), and Liquidity Zones.
✔ Customizable Alerts & Visuals
Traders can enable alerts for MSS and BOS to receive notifications when price shifts.
Adjustable styling ensures clarity across different trading setups.
✔ Works on Any Asset & Timeframe
Suitable for Forex, Crypto, Stocks, and Indices.
Can be used on lower timeframes (scalping) or higher timeframes (swing trading).
How to Use the Market Structure Shift Concept in Trading
1️⃣ Identify Market Conditions
Apply the script and check if price is forming Higher Highs (HH), Higher Lows (HL), Lower Highs (LH), or Lower Lows (LL).
Determine if the market is trending or ranging.
2️⃣ Watch for MSS (Reversal Signals)
Bullish MSS: Price closes above a key swing high → potential bullish reversal.
Bearish MSS: Price closes below a swing low → potential bearish reversal.
3️⃣ Confirm BOS (Trend Continuation Signals)
Bullish BOS: Price continues breaking highs, confirming an uptrend.
Bearish BOS: Price continues breaking lows, confirming a downtrend.
4️⃣ Combine with Other ICT & SMC Concepts
Look for Order Blocks (OBs) and Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) near MSS/BOS levels for better trade entries.
Wait for liquidity grabs before entering trades (avoid stop hunts).
Use higher timeframe MSS/BOS zones as key support & resistance areas.
Final Thoughts
This script is a must-have tool for traders using ICT & SMC trading strategies. It helps identify trend shifts, liquidity grabs, and continuation moves by marking Market Structure Shifts (MSS) and Breaks of Structure (BOS) on the chart.
LRLR [TakingProphets]LRLR (Low Resistance Liquidity Run) Indicator
This indicator identifies potential liquidity runs in areas of low resistance, based on ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts. It specifically looks for a series of unmitigated swing highs in a downtrend that form without any bearish fair value gaps (FVGs) between them.
What is an LRLR?
- A Low Resistance Liquidity Run occurs when price creates a series of lower highs without any bearish fair value gaps in between
- The absence of bearish FVGs indicates there is no significant resistance in the area
- These formations often become targets for smart money to collect liquidity above the swing highs
How to Use the Indicator:
1. The indicator will draw a diagonal line connecting a series of qualifying swing highs
2. A small "LRLR" label appears to mark the pattern
3. These areas often become targets for future price moves, as they represent zones of accumulated liquidity with minimal resistance
Key Points:
- Minimum of 4 consecutive lower swing highs
- No bearish fair value gaps can exist between these swing highs
- The diagonal line helps visualize the liquidity run formation
- Can be used for trade planning and identifying potential reversal zones
Settings:
- Show Labels: Toggle the "LRLR" label visibility
- LRLR Line Color: Customize the appearance of the diagonal line
Best Practices:
1. Use in conjunction with other ICT concepts and market structure analysis
2. Pay attention to how price reacts when returning to these levels
3. Consider these areas as potential targets for smart money liquidity grabs
4. Most effective when used on higher timeframes (4H and above)
Note: This is an educational tool and should be used as part of a complete trading strategy, not in isolation.
