3_SMA_Strategy_V-Singhal by ParthibIndicator Name: 3_SMA_Strategy_V-Singhal by Parthib
Description:
The 3_SMA_Strategy_V-Singhal by Parthib is a dynamic trend-following strategy that combines three key simple moving averages (SMA) — SMA 20, SMA 50, and SMA 200 — to generate buy and sell signals. This strategy uses these SMAs to capture and follow market trends, helping traders identify optimal entry (buy) and exit (sell) points. Additionally, the strategy highlights the closing price (CP), which plays a critical role in confirming buy and sell signals.
The strategy also features a Second Buy Signal triggered if the price falls more than 10% after an initial buy signal, providing a re-entry opportunity with a different visual highlight for the second buy signal.
Features:
Three Simple Moving Averages (SMA):
SMA 20: Short-term moving average reflecting immediate market trends.
SMA 50: Medium-term moving average showing the prevailing trend.
SMA 200: Long-term moving average that indicates the overall market trend.
Buy Signal (B1):
Triggered when:
SMA 200 > SMA 50 > SMA 20, indicating a bullish market structure.
The closing price is positioned below all three SMAs, confirming a potential upward reversal.
A green label appears at the low of the bar with the text B1-Price, indicating the price at which the buy signal is generated.
Second Buy Signal (B2):
Triggered if the price falls more than 10% after the first buy signal, providing an opportunity to re-enter the market at a potentially better price.
A blue label appears at the low of the bar with the text B2-Price, showing the price at which the second buy opportunity arises.
Sell Signal (S):
Triggered when:
SMA 20 > SMA 50 > SMA 200, indicating a bearish trend.
The closing price (CP) is positioned above all three SMAs, confirming a potential downward movement.
A red label appears at the high of the bar with the text S-Price, showing the price at which the sell signal is triggered.
How It Works:
Buy Conditions:
SMA 200 > SMA 50 > SMA 20: Indicates a bullish market where the long-term trend (SMA 200) is above the medium-term (SMA 50), and the medium-term trend is above the short-term (SMA 20).
Closing price below all three SMAs: Confirms that the price is in a favorable position for a potential upward reversal.
Sell Conditions:
SMA 20 > SMA 50 > SMA 200: This setup indicates a bearish trend.
Closing price above all three SMAs: Confirms that the price is in a favorable position for a potential downward movement.
Second Buy Signal (B2): If the price falls more than 10% after the first buy signal, the strategy triggers a second buy opportunity (B2) at a potentially better price. This helps traders take advantage of pullbacks or corrections after an initial favorable entry.
Labeling System:
B1-Price: The first buy signal label, appearing when the market is bullish and the closing price is below all three SMAs.
B2-Price: The second buy signal label, triggered if the price falls more than 10% after the initial buy signal.
S-Price: The sell signal label, appearing when the market turns bearish and the closing price is above all three SMAs.
How to Use:
Add the Indicator: Add "3_SMA_Strategy_V-Singhal by Parthib" to your chart on TradingView.
Interpret Buy Signals (B1): Look for green labels with the text "B1-Price" when the closing price (CP) is below all three SMAs and the trend is bullish.
Interpret Second Buy Signals (B2): If the price falls more than 10% after the first buy, look for blue labels with "B2-Price" and a re-entry opportunity.
Interpret Sell Signals (S): Look for red labels with the text "S-Price" when the market turns bearish, and the closing price (CP) is above all three SMAs.
Conclusion:
The 3_SMA_Strategy_V-Singhal by Parthib is an efficient and simple trend-following tool for traders looking to make informed buy and sell decisions. By combining the power of three SMAs and the closing price (CP) confirmation, this strategy helps traders to buy when the market shows a strong bullish setup and sell when the trend turns bearish. Additionally, the second buy signal feature ensures that traders don’t miss out on re-entry opportunities after price corrections, giving them a chance to re-enter the market at a favorable price.
Recherche dans les scripts pour "market structure"
WhalenatorThis custom TradingView indicator combines multiple analytic techniques to help identify potential market trends, areas of support and resistance, and zones of heightened trading activity. It incorporates a SuperTrend-like line based on ATR, Keltner Channels for volatility-based price envelopes, and dynamic order blocks derived from significant volume and pivot points. Additionally, it highlights “whale” activities—periods of exceptionally large volume—along with an estimated volume profile level and approximate bid/ask volume distribution. Together, these features aim to offer traders a more comprehensive view of price structure, volatility, and institutional participation.
This custom TradingView indicator integrates multiple trading concepts into a single, visually descriptive tool. Its primary goal is to help traders identify directional bias, volatility levels, significant volume events, and potential support/resistance zones on a price chart. Below are the main components and their functionalities:
SuperTrend-Like Line (Trend Bias):
At the core of the indicator is a trend-following line inspired by the SuperTrend concept, which uses Average True Range (ATR) to adaptively set trailing stop levels. By comparing price to these levels, the line attempts to indicate when the market is in an uptrend (price above the line) or a downtrend (price below the line). The shifting levels can provide a dynamic sense of direction and help traders stay with the predominant trend until it shifts.
Keltner Channels (Volatility and Range):
Keltner Channels, based on an exponential moving average and Average True Range, form volatility-based envelopes around price. They help traders visualize whether price is extended (touching or moving outside the upper/lower band) or trading within a stable range. This can be useful in identifying low-volatility consolidations and high-volatility breakouts.
Dynamic Order Blocks (Approximations of Supply/Demand Zones):
By detecting pivot highs and lows under conditions of significant volume, the indicator approximates "order blocks." Order blocks are areas where institutional buying or selling may have occurred, potentially acting as future support or resistance zones. Although these approximations are not perfect, they offer a visual cue to areas on the chart where price might react strongly if revisited.
Volume Profile Proxy and Whale Detection:
The indicator highlights price levels associated with recent maximum volume activity, providing a rough "volume profile" reference. Such levels often become key points of price interaction.
"Whale" detection logic attempts to identify bars where exceptionally large volume occurs (beyond a defined threshold). By tracking these "whale bars," traders can infer where heavy participation—often from large traders or institutions—may influence market direction or create zones of interest.
Approximate Bid/Ask Volume and Dollar Volume Tracking:
The script estimates whether volume within each bar leans more towards the bid or the ask side, aiming to understand which participant (buyers or sellers) might have been more aggressive. Additionally, it calculates dollar volume (close price multiplied by volume) and provides an average to gauge the relative participation strength over time.
Labeling and Visual Aids:
Dynamic labels display Whale Frequency (the ratio of bars with exceptionally large volume), average dollar volume, and approximate ask/bid volume metrics. This gives traders at-a-glance insights into current market conditions, participation, and sentiment.
Strengths:
Multifaceted Analysis:
By combining trend, volatility, volume, and order block logic in one place, the indicator saves chart space and simplifies the analytical process. Traders gain a holistic view without flipping between multiple separate tools.
Adaptable to Market Conditions:
The use of ATR and Keltner Channels adapts to changing volatility conditions. The SuperTrend-like line helps keep traders aligned with the prevailing trend, avoiding constant whipsaws in choppy markets.
Volume-Based Insights:
Integrating whale detection and a crude volume profile proxy helps traders understand where large players might be interacting. This perspective can highlight critical levels that might not be evident from price action alone.
Convenient Visual Cues and Labels:
The indicator provides quick reference points and textual information about the underlying volume dynamics, making decision-making potentially faster and more informed.
Weaknesses:
Heuristic and Approximate Nature:
Many of the indicator’s features, like the "order blocks," "whale detection," and the approximate bid/ask volume, rely on heuristics and assumptions that may not always be accurate. Without actual Level II data or true volume profiles, the insights are best considered as supplementary, not definitive signals.
Lagging Components:
Indicators that rely on past data, like ATR-based trends or moving averages for Keltner Channels, inherently lag behind price. This can cause delayed signals, particularly in fast-moving markets, potentially missing some early opportunities or late in confirming market reversals.
No Guaranteed Predictive Power:
As with any technical tool, it does not forecast the future with certainty. Strong volume at a certain level or a bullish SuperTrend reading does not guarantee price will continue in that direction. Market conditions can change unexpectedly, and false signals will occur.
Complexity and Overreliance Risk:
With multiple signals combined, there’s a risk of information overload. Traders might feel compelled to rely too heavily on this one tool. Without complementary analysis (fundamentals, news, or additional technical confirmation), overreliance on the indicator could lead to misguided trades.
Conclusion:
This integrated indicator offers a comprehensive visual guide to market structure, volatility, and activity. Its strength lies in providing a multi-dimensional viewpoint in a single tool. However, traders should remain aware of its approximations, inherent lags, and the potential for conflicting signals. Sound risk management, position sizing, and the use of complementary analysis methods remain essential for trading success.
Risks Associated with Trading:
No indicator can guarantee profitable trades or accurately predict future price movements. Market conditions are inherently unpredictable, and reliance on any single tool or combination of tools carries the risk of financial loss. Traders should practice sound risk management, including the use of stop losses and position sizing, and should not trade with funds they cannot afford to lose. Ultimately, decisions should be guided by a thorough trading plan and possibly supplemented with other forms of market analysis or professional advice.
Risks and Important Considerations:
• Not a Standalone Tool:
• This indicator should not be used in isolation. It is essential to incorporate additional technical analysis tools, fundamental analysis, and market context when making trading decisions.
• Relying solely on this indicator may lead to incomplete assessments of market conditions.
• Market Volatility and False Signals:
• Financial markets can be highly volatile, and indicators based on historical data may not accurately predict future movements.
• The indicator may produce false signals due to sudden market changes, low liquidity, or atypical trading activity.
• Risk Management:
• Always employ robust risk management strategies, including setting stop-loss orders, diversifying your portfolio, and not over-leveraging positions.
• Understand that no indicator guarantees success, and losses are a natural part of trading.
• Emotional Discipline:
• Avoid making impulsive decisions based on indicator signals alone.
• Emotional trading can lead to significant financial losses; maintain discipline and adhere to a well-thought-out trading plan.
• Continuous Learning and Adaptation:
• Stay informed about market news, economic indicators, and global events that may impact trading conditions.

Fibonacci Bands [BigBeluga]The Fibonacci Band indicator is a powerful tool for identifying potential support, resistance, and mean reversion zones based on Fibonacci ratios. It overlays three sets of Fibonacci ratio bands (38.2%, 61.8%, and 100%) around a central trend line, dynamically adapting to price movements. This structure enables traders to track trends, visualize potential liquidity sweep areas, and spot reversal points for strategic entries and exits.
🔵 KEY FEATURES & USAGE
Fibonacci Bands for Support & Resistance:
The Fibonacci Band indicator applies three key Fibonacci ratios (38.2%, 61.8%, and 100%) to construct dynamic bands around a smoothed price. These levels often act as critical support and resistance areas, marked with labels displaying the percentage and corresponding price. The 100% band level is especially crucial, signaling potential liquidity sweep zones and reversal points.
Mean Reversion Signals at 100% Bands:
When price moves above or below the 100% band, the indicator generates mean reversion signals.
Trend Detection with Midline:
The central line acts as a trend-following tool: when solid, it indicates an uptrend, while a dashed line signals a downtrend. This adaptive midline helps traders assess the prevailing market direction while keeping the chart clean and intuitive.
Extended Price Projections:
All Fibonacci bands extend to future bars (default 30) to project potential price levels, providing a forward-looking perspective on where price may encounter support or resistance. This feature helps traders anticipate market structure in advance and set targets accordingly.
Liquidity Sweep:
--
-Liquidity Sweep at Previous Lows:
The price action moves below a previous low, capturing sell-side liquidity (stop-losses from long positions or entries for breakout traders).
The wick suggests that the price quickly reversed, leaving a failed breakout below support.
This is a classic liquidity grab, often indicating a bullish reversal .
-Liquidity Sweep at Previous Highs:
The price spikes above a prior high, sweeping buy-side liquidity (stop-losses from short positions or breakout entries).
The wick signifies rejection, suggesting a failed breakout above resistance.
This is a bearish liquidity sweep , often followed by a mean reversion or a downward move.
Display Customization:
To declutter the chart, traders can choose to hide Fibonacci levels and only display overbought/oversold zones along with the trend-following midline and mean reversion signals. This option enables a clearer focus on key reversal areas without additional distractions.
🔵 CUSTOMIZATION
Period Length: Adjust the length of the smoothed moving average for more reactive or smoother bands.
Channel Width: Customize the width of the Fibonacci channel.
Fibonacci Ratios: Customize the Fibonacci ratios to reflect personal preference or unique market behaviors.
Future Projection Extension: Set the number of bars to extend Fibonacci bands, allowing flexibility in projecting price levels.
Hide Fibonacci Levels: Toggle the visibility of Fibonacci levels for a cleaner chart focused on overbought/oversold regions and midline trend signals.
Liquidity Sweep: Toggle the visibility of Liquidity Sweep points
The Fibonacci Band indicator provides traders with an advanced framework for analyzing market structure, liquidity sweeps, and trend reversals. By integrating Fibonacci-based levels with trend detection and mean reversion signals, this tool offers a robust approach to navigating dynamic price action and finding high-probability trading opportunities.
Salman Indicator: Multi-Purpose Price ActionSalman Indicator: Multi-Purpose Price Action Tool for Pin Bars, Breakouts, and VWAP Anchoring
This indicator provides a comprehensive suite of price action insights, designed for active traders looking to identify key market structures and potential reversals. The script incorporates a Quarterly VWAP for trend bias, marks pin bars for possible reversal points, highlights outside bars for volatility signals, and indicates simple breakouts and pivot-level breaks. Customizable settings allow for flexibility in various trading styles, with default settings optimized for daily charts.

Pin Bars : Denoted by a small dot at the top or bottom of a candle’s wick, these are crucial signals of potential reversal areas. Pin bars are identified based on the percentage length of their shadows, with adjustable strictness in settings.
Quarterly VWAP : The light blue line on the chart represents the VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price), which is anchored to the Quarterly period by default. The VWAP acts as a directional bias filter, helping you to determine underlying market trends. This period, source, and offset are fully adjustable in the script’s settings.
Simple Breaks : Hollow candles on the chart indicate "simple breaks," defined when the current bar closes above the previous high or below the previous low. This is an effective way to highlight directional momentum in the market.
Bonus Pivot Breaks : The tilde symbol ~ appears when the price closes above or below prior pivot high/low levels, helping traders spot significant breakout or breakdown points relative to recent pivots.
Alerts
Simple Breaks : Alerts you when a breakout occurs beyond the previous bar’s high or low. Pin Bars : Notifies you of potential reversal points as indicated by bullish or bearish pin bars. Outside Bars : Triggers an alert whenever an outside bar is detected, indicating possible volatility changes.
How to Use
VWAP for Trend Bias : Use the Quarterly VWAP line to gauge overall market trend, with settings that allow adjustment to daily, weekly, monthly, or even larger time frames.
Pin Bars for Reversal Potential : Look for the dot markers on candle wicks, where the strictness of the pin bar detection can be adjusted via settings to match your trading preference.
Simple and Pivot Breaks for Momentum : Watch for hollow candles and the tilde symbol ~ as indicators of potential breakout momentum and pivot break levels, respectively.
This script can serve traders on multiple timeframes, from daily to weekly and beyond. The flexible configuration allows for adjustments in VWAP anchoring and pin bar criteria, providing a tailored fit for individual trading strategies.
Sweep + MSS# Sweep + MSS Indicator
This indicator identifies market sweeps and Market Structure Shifts (MSS) to help traders recognize potential trend changes and market manipulations.
How it works:
1. Sweep Detection:
- Identifies when price briefly moves beyond a recent high/low (pivot point) and then reverses.
- Bullish sweep: Price drops below a recent low, then closes above it.
- Bearish sweep: Price rises above a recent high, then closes below it.
2. Market Structure Shift (MSS):
- Occurs when price action invalidates a previous sweep level.
- Bullish MSS: Price closes above a bearish sweep level.
- Bearish MSS: Price closes below a bullish sweep level.
Key Features:
- Customizable pivot lookback length for sweep detection
- Minimum bar requirement after a sweep before MSS can trigger
- One MSS per sweep level to avoid multiple signals
- Visual representation with lines connecting sweep points to MSS triggers
- Emoji labels for easy identification (🐂-MSS for bullish, 🐻-MSS for bearish)
Logic Behind MSS:
The MSS aims to identify potential trend changes by recognizing when the market invalidates a previous sweep level. This often indicates a shift in market structure, suggesting that the previous trend may be weakening or reversing.
- A bullish MSS occurs when the price closes above a bearish sweep level, potentially signaling a shift from bearish to bullish sentiment.
- A bearish MSS occurs when the price closes below a bullish sweep level, potentially signaling a shift from bullish to bearish sentiment.
By requiring a minimum number of bars between the sweep and the MSS, the indicator helps filter out noise and focuses on more significant structural changes in the market.
This indicator can be a valuable tool for traders looking to identify potential trend changes and entry/exit points based on market structure analysis.
Time Based 3 Candle Model CRT FrameworkThe 3 Candle Model Overview:
The 3 Candle Model serves as a sophisticated framework for traders to navigate the complexities of financial markets, particularly within futures and forex trading. This guide not only elaborates on the model's key features but also emphasizes its originality and practical usefulness in the TradingView community. The core principle of the 3 Candle Model revolves around understanding how candle patterns can represent significant price ranges, offering valuable insights into potential market movements.

Indicator includes:
3 Customizable Timeframe choices to fractally frame 3 candle models for precision
Live Timers for each timeframe to always be aware of the models timing
Parent Candle tracking on every preffered timeframe until new models parent candle is printed
Key Features of the 3 Candle Model
The 3 Candle Model primarily utilizes a three-candle structure, where the first candle establishes a price range, the second candle may act as a confirmation (often termed a "turtle soup"), and the third candle provides the breakout or continuation. This structure is pivotal in determining entry and exit points for trades, ensuring that each trading decision is backed by solid price action analysis.
OHLC Principle:
The Open-High-Low-Close (OHLC) concept is integral to the 3 Candle Model, allowing traders to analyze price action more effectively. Understanding the relationship between these four price points helps traders gauge market sentiment and potential reversals. By incorporating OHLC into the model, traders can develop a deeper understanding of market structure and its implications for future price movements.
Delivery States:
The 3 Candle Model emphasizes the importance of delivery states, which refer to the market's phase during specific time frames.

Cumulative Volume Delta Histogram [TradingFinder] CVD Histogram🔵 Introduction
To fully understand Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD), it’s important to start by explaining Volume Delta. In trading, "Delta" refers to the difference between two values or the rate of change between two data points. Volume Delta represents the difference between buying and selling pressure for each candlestick on a chart, and this difference can vary across different time frames.
A positive delta indicates that buying volume exceeds selling volume, while a negative delta shows that selling pressure is stronger. When buying and selling volumes are equal, the volume delta equals zero.
The Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) indicator tracks the cumulative difference between buying and selling volumes over time, helping traders analyze market dynamics and identify reliable trading signals through CVD divergences.
🔵 How to Use
Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) is an essential technical analysis tool that aggregates delta values for each candlestick, creating a comprehensive indicator. This helps traders evaluate overall buying and selling pressure over market swings.
Unlike standard Volume Delta, which compares the delta on a candle-by-candle basis, CVD provides a broader view of buying and selling pressure during market trends. A downward-trending CVD suggests that selling pressure is dominant, which is typically a bearish signal.
Conversely, an upward-trending CVD indicates bullish sentiment, suggesting buyers are in control. This analysis becomes even more valuable when compared with price action and market structure, helping traders predict the direction of asset prices.
🟣 How to Use CVD in Trend Analysis and Market Reversals
Understanding how to detect trend changes using Cumulative Volume Delta is crucial for traders. Typically, CVD aligns with market structure, moving in the same direction as price trends.
However, divergences between CVD and price movements or signs of volume exhaustion can be powerful indicators of potential market reversals. Recognizing these patterns helps traders make more informed decisions and improve their trading strategies.
🟣 How to Spot Trend Exhaustion with CVD
CVD is particularly effective for identifying trend exhaustion in the market. For instance, if an asset's price hits a new low, but CVD doesn’t follow, this might indicate a lack of seller interest, signaling potential exhaustion and a possible reversal.
Similarly, if an asset reaches a new high but CVD fails to follow, it can suggest that buyers lack the strength to push the market higher, indicating a possible reversal to the downside.
🟣 How to Use CVD Divergence in Price Trend Analysis
Another effective use of CVD is identifying divergences in price trends. For example, if CVD breaks a previous high or low while the price remains stable, this divergence may indicate that buying or selling pressure is being absorbed.
For instance, if CVD rises sharply without a corresponding increase in asset prices, it may suggest that sellers are absorbing the buying pressure, which could lead to a strong sell-off. Conversely, if prices remain stable while CVD declines, it may indicate that buyers are absorbing selling pressure, likely leading to a price increase once the selling subsides.
🟣 CVD Display, Candlestick vs. Histogram – What’s the Difference?
CVD can be displayed in two different formats :
Candlestick Display : In this format, the data is shown as green and red candlesticks, each representing the difference in buying and selling pressure over a given time period. This display allows traders to visually analyze market pressure along with price changes.
Histogram Display : Here, the data is represented as vertical green and red bars, where each bar’s height corresponds to the volume delta. This format offers a clearer view of the strengths and weaknesses in market buying and selling pressure.
🟣 What are the Key Settings for CVD?
Cumulative Mode : CVD offers three modes: "Total," "Periodic," and "EMA." In "Total" mode, CVD accumulates the delta from the beginning to the end of the session. In "Periodic" mode, it accumulates volume periodically, resetting at specific intervals. In "EMA" mode, the CVD is smoothed using an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) to filter out short-term fluctuations.
Period : The "Period" setting allows you to define the number of bars or intervals for "Periodic" and "EMA" modes. A shorter period captures more short-term movements, while a longer period smooths out the fluctuations and provides a broader view of market trends.
Market Ultra Data : This feature integrates data from 26 major brokers into the volume calculations, providing more reliable volume data. It’s important to specify the type of market you are analyzing (Forex, crypto, etc.) as different brokers contribute to different markets. Enabling this setting ensures the highest accuracy in volume analysis.
🔵 Conclusion
Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) is a powerful technical indicator that helps traders assess buying and selling pressure by aggregating the delta values of each candlestick. Whether displayed as candlesticks or histograms, CVD provides insights into market trends, helping traders make informed decisions.
CVD is particularly useful in identifying divergences and exhaustion in market trends. For example, if CVD does not align with price movements, it can signal a potential trend reversal. Traders use this tool to fine-tune their entry and exit points and better predict future market movements.
In summary, CVD is a versatile tool for analyzing volume data and understanding the balance of buying and selling pressure in the market, making it an invaluable asset in any trader’s toolkit
Price Action Volumetric Order Blocks [UAlgo]"Price Action Volumetric Order Blocks" indicator aims to identify significant price zones in the market based on a combination of price action and volume analysis. It utilizes the concept of "Order Blocks," which are areas on the chart where large orders are believed to have been placed, influencing price behavior. By analyzing price swings and volume activity, the indicator attempts to highlight potential support and resistance levels.
🔶 Key Features
Swing Length: This input allows you to adjust the timeframe used to identify price swings for order block detection. A longer swing length will focus on larger timeframes and potentially capture stronger order blocks.
Show Last X Order Blocks: This controls the number of order blocks displayed on the chart. You can choose to visualize a specific number of the most recent order blocks.
Violation Check: This setting determines how the indicator identifies potential order block violations. You can choose between "Wick" or "Close" violations. A "Wick" violation occurs when the price (wick) extends beyond the order block boundaries, while a "Close" violation signifies that the closing price breaches the order block.
Hide Overlap: This option allows you to manage the display of overlapping order blocks. If set to "True," only non-overlapping order blocks will be shown, potentially offering a clearer visualization.
Colors: You can customize the color scheme for bullish (upward) and bearish (downward) order blocks to enhance visual clarity on the chart.
🔶 Interpreting the Indicator
Order Blocks: The teal-colored boxes represent bullish order blocks, indicating areas of demand where buying pressure is likely to be strong. Red-colored boxes represent bearish order blocks, indicating areas of supply where selling pressure is likely to be dominant. These zones often signal potential reversal points or consolidation areas.
Strength Calculations: The indicator calculates the relative strength of bullish and bearish blocks based on volume. A higher bullish strength indicates stronger buying pressure, while higher bearish strength suggests more selling pressure. Traders can use this information to gauge the strength of a price level and predict future price movements.
Market Structure Lines: The indicator displays horizontal lines to depict the current market structure, labeled as "MSB" (Market Sell Balance) or "BOS" (Break of Structure). These lines can help visualize the prevailing trend direction.
Order Block Violations: When a price wick or close breaches an order block (depending on the chosen violation type), the corresponding order block visualization is removed from the chart. This can signify a potential weakening of the identified support or resistance zone.

Change in State of Delivery CISD ICT [TradingFinder] Liquidity 1🔵 Introduction
🟣 What is CISD ?
Change in State of Delivery (CISD) is a key concept in technical analysis, similar to Change of Character (ChoCh) and Market Structure Shift (MSS) in the ICT (Inner Circle Trader) and Smart Money trading styles. Like ChoCh and MSS, CISD helps traders identify critical changes in market structure and make timely entries into trades.
To determine the CISD Level, traders typically review the last 1 to 4 candles to identify the first positive or negative candle. The CISD Level is then set using the opening price of the next candle.
In this version of the indicator, support and resistance levels are defined based on liquidity, which includes patterns such as SFP (Swing Failure Pattern), fake breakout, and false breakout.
Bullish CISD :
Bearish CISD :
🔵 How to Use
🟣 Bullish CISD (Change in State of Delivery Upward)
In Bullish CISD, the trend shifts from bearish to bullish after the price hits a liquidity zone, typically indicated by patterns such as SFP, fake breakout, or false breakout.
The steps to identify Bullish CISD are as follow s:

Breaker Blocks + Order Blocks confirm [TradingFinder] BBOB Alert🔵 Introduction
In the realm of technical analysis, various tools and concepts are employed to identify key levels on price charts. These tools assist traders in analyzing market trends with greater precision, enabling them to optimize their trading decisions. Among these tools, the Order Block and Breaker Block hold a significant place, serving as effective instruments for analyzing market structure.
🟣 Order Block
An Order Block refers to zones on a chart where large financial institutions and high-volume traders place their orders. Due to the substantial volume of buy or sell orders in these areas, they are often regarded as pivotal points for potential price reversals or temporary pauses in a trend. Order Blocks are particularly crucial when prices react to these zones after a strong market move, acting as strong support or resistance levels.
🟣 Breaker Block
On the other hand, a Breaker Block refers to areas on a chart that previously functioned as Order Blocks but where the price has managed to break through and continue in the opposite direction. These zones are typically recognized as key points where market trends might shift, helping traders identify potential reversal points in the market.
🟣 Overlapping Block (BBOB)
Now, imagine a scenario where these two essential concepts in technical analysis—Order Blocks and Breaker Blocks—overlap on a chart. Although this overlap is not specifically discussed within the ICT (Inner Circle Trader) trading framework, exploring and utilizing this overlap can provide traders with powerful insights into strong support and resistance zones. The combination of these two robust concepts can highlight critical areas in trading, potentially offering significant advantages in making informed trading decisions.
In this article, we will delve into the concept of this overlap, explaining how to utilize it in trading strategies. Additionally, we will analyze the potential outcomes and benefits of incorporating this concept into your trading decisions.
Bullish Overlapping Block (BBOB) :
Bearish Overlapping Block (BBOB) :
🔵 How to Use
The overlap between Order Blocks and Breaker Blocks is a compelling and powerful concept that can help traders identify key levels on the chart with a high probability of success. This overlap is particularly valuable because it combines two well-regarded concepts in technical analysis—zones of high order volume and critical market shifts.
🟣 Here’s how to effectively use this overlap in your trading
1. Dentifying the Overlapping Block : To make the most of the overlap between Order Blocks and Breaker Blocks, begin by identifying these zones separately. Order Blocks are areas where price typically reacts and reverses after a strong market move.
Breaker Blocks are areas where a previous Order Block has been breached, and the price continues in the opposite direction. When these two zones overlap on a chart, it’s crucial to pay close attention to this area, as it represents a high-probability reaction zone.
2. Analyzing the Overlapping Block : After identifying the overlap zone, carefully analyze price action within this region. Candlestick patterns and price behavior can provide essential clues.
If the price reaches this overlap zone and strong reversal patterns such as Pin Bars or Engulfing patterns are observed, it’s likely that this zone will act as a pivotal reversal point. In such cases, entering a trade with confidence becomes more feasible.
3. Entering the Trade : When sufficient signs of price reaction are present in the overlap zone, you can proceed to enter the trade. If the overlap zone is within an uptrend and bullish reversal signals are evident, a long position might be appropriate.
Conversely, if the overlap zone is in a downtrend and bearish reversal signals are observed, a short position would be more suitable.
4. Risk Management : One of the most critical aspects of trading in overlap zones is managing risk. To protect your capital, place your stop loss near the lowest point of the Order Block (for buy trades) or the highest point (for sell trades). This approach minimizes potential losses if the overlap zone fails to hold.
5. Price Targets : After entering the trade, set your price targets based on other key levels on the chart. These targets could include other support and resistance zones, Fibonacci levels, or pivot points.
Bullish Overlapping Block :
Bearish Overlapping Block :
🟣 Benefits of the Overlapping Block Between Order Block and Breaker Block
1. Enhanced Precision in Identifying Key Levels : The overlap between these two zones usually acts as a highly reliable area for price reactions, increasing the accuracy of identifying entry and exit points.
2. Reduced Trading Risk : Given the high importance of the overlap zone, the likelihood of making incorrect decisions is reduced, contributing to overall lower trading risk.
3. Increased Probability of Success : The overlap between Order Blocks and Breaker Blocks combines two powerful concepts, enhancing the likelihood of success in trades, as multiple indicators confirm the importance of the area.
4. Creation of Better Trading Opportunities : Overlap zones often provide traders with more robust trading opportunities, as these areas typically represent strong reversal points in the market.
5. Compatibility with Other Technical Tools : This concept seamlessly integrates with other technical analysis tools such as Fibonacci retracements, trend lines, and chart patterns, offering a more comprehensive market analysis.

Cumulative Delta [TradingFinder] Volume + Periodic + EMA🔵 Introduction
To fully grasp the concept of Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD), it's essential first to understand Volume Delta. In trading and technical analysis, the term "Delta" typically refers to the difference between two values or the rate of change between two data points.
Volume Delta represents the difference between buying and selling pressure, calculated for each candlestick on a chart. This difference can vary across different timeframes.
A positive delta indicates that buying volume exceeds selling volume, while a negative delta shows that selling volume is greater. When buying and selling volumes are equal, the volume delta equals zero.
🟣 What is Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD)?
Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) is a powerful tool in technical analysis that aggregates delta values for each candlestick, creating a comprehensive indicator that helps traders assess market trends.
Unlike the standard Volume Delta, which compares delta on a candle-by-candle basis, CVD provides insight into the overall buying and selling pressure during key market swings. A downward-trending CVD suggests that selling pressure is dominating, which is typically a bearish signal.
Conversely, an upward-trending CVD indicates bullish sentiment. This analysis becomes even more significant when comparing CVD with price action and market structure, helping traders to predict asset price directions.
By evaluating market highs and lows, one can determine the market trend. A consistent rise in these points indicates an uptrend, while a consistent fall suggests a downtrend.
🔵 How to Use
Understanding how to detect trend changes using Cumulative Volume Delta is crucial for traders. Typically, CVD aligns with market structure, moving in the same direction as price trends.
However, divergences between CVD and price trends or signs of exhaustion in volume can be powerful indicators of potential market reversals. Recognizing these patterns can help traders make informed decisions and improve their trading strategies.
🟣 Identifying Trend Exhaustion with Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD)
The Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) indicator is especially effective in identifying weakening trends in the market. For instance, if gold's price hits a new low, but CVD does not follow suit, this may indicate a lack of seller interest despite the new low, signaling potential seller exhaustion.
Most traders interpret this as a possible reversal from a bearish to a bullish trend. Similarly, if gold reaches a new high but CVD fails to do the same, it can suggest that buyers lack the strength to push the market higher, indicating a possible trend reversal.
🟣 Utilizing Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) Divergence in Price Trend Analysis
Another effective use of CVD is identifying divergences in price trends. For example, if CVD breaks a previous high or low while the price remains stable, this divergence often indicates that buying or selling pressure is being absorbed.
For instance, if CVD rises sharply without a corresponding increase in gold prices, it may suggest that sellers are absorbing the buying pressure, potentially leading to a strong sell-off. Conversely, if gold prices remain stable while CVD declines, it could indicate that buyers are absorbing selling pressure, likely leading to a price increase once selling subsides.
🔵 Setting
Cumulative Mode : It has three modes "Total", "Periodic" and "EMA". In "Total" mode, it collects the volume from the beginning to the end. In "Periodic" mode, it accumulates the volume periodically and in "EMA" mode, it calculates the moving average of the volume.
Period : You can set the period of " Periodic " and " EMA " modes.
Market Ultra Data : If you turn on this feature, 26 large brokers will be included in the calculation of the trading volume.
The advantage of this capability is to have more reliable volume data. You should be careful to specify the market you are in, FOREX brokers and Crypto brokers are different.
🔵 Conclusion
Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) is a powerful analytical tool in financial markets that helps analysts and traders assess buying and selling pressure by aggregating and combining the volume delta for each candlestick.
CVD can indicate the strength or weakness of a market trend. When CVD moves upward, it signals that buying pressure is dominant and is considered a bullish signal; conversely, a downward movement in CVD indicates that selling pressure is stronger and is viewed as a bearish signal.
This indicator is particularly effective in identifying divergences and exhaustion in market trends. For example, if CVD does not align with price movements, it may suggest a potential trend reversal.
Traders use this information to make more informed trading decisions, especially when identifying entry and exit points in the market.
Overall, CVD is a tool that enables analysts to better understand market fluctuations and more accurately predict future market trends.

Predictive Order Blocks [CryptoSea]The Predictive Order Blocks Indicator is a unique and innovative tool that enhances market analysis by identifying support and resistance blocks based on standard deviations from a median line. Unlike traditional indicators that rely solely on the close price, this indicator leverages the median line and standard deviations to form areas of interest, rather than targeting a single price point. This approach provides a more accurate representation of market structure, especially during periods of consolidation and expansion.
Key Features
Multi-Term Length Analysis: The indicator offers short, medium, and long-term settings, allowing traders to customise the analysis based on their preferred trading strategy and timeframe. This flexibility ensures that the tool is adaptable to various market conditions and trading styles.
Standard Deviation-Based Order Blocks: The core functionality of the indicator revolves around calculating standard deviations from a median line to form support and resistance blocks. These blocks provide a clearer and more reliable picture of market structure compared to single-point levels. By focusing on areas rather than exact price levels, the indicator helps traders identify zones where price is likely to react, leading to more informed trading decisions.
Dynamic Box Creation: The indicator dynamically creates breakout boxes based on user-selected standard deviation ranges. These boxes are formed at the start of market expansion following periods of consolidation. This feature is particularly useful because it highlights key levels where price is likely to retrace after breaking out, providing traders with actionable insights during market transitions.
Proximity-Based Gradient Colors: The indicator features gradient colors that change based on the price's proximity to the standard deviation bands. This visual aid helps traders quickly assess the current market condition and the potential significance of the support and resistance blocks.
Adaptive Display Options: To accommodate different trading preferences, the indicator includes options to toggle the display of the trend line (median line) and the standard deviation bands. This flexibility allows traders to customise their chart view to match their analysis style, whether they prefer a more clutter-free view or a detailed breakdown of market levels.
In the example below, the indicator shows the bands compressing during a period of consolidation, highlighting the potential for a breakout.
How it Works
Median Line Calculation: The indicator calculates the median line using a user-defined period. This line serves as the central reference point from which the standard deviations are calculated. By using the median line instead of just the close price, the indicator provides a more stable and reliable baseline for identifying support and resistance areas.
Standard Deviation Bands: Around the median line, the indicator calculates multiple standard deviation bands. These bands represent areas where price is statistically likely to find support or resistance. By focusing on these areas, traders can better anticipate where price might react, rather than relying on arbitrary levels.
Dynamic Box Creation and Expansion Detection: The indicator monitors the compression and expansion of the standard deviation bands. During periods of low volatility (squeeze), the bands compress, indicating consolidation. Once the bands start expanding, it signals the potential for a breakout. At this point, the indicator dynamically creates predictive order blocks based on the selected standard deviation range. These blocks highlight key levels where price might retrace or react, providing traders with valuable entry and exit points.
Color-Coded Proximity Alerts: To further enhance usability, the indicator uses color gradients to indicate how close the current price is to the calculated bands. This visual representation helps traders quickly assess the potential significance of the price's current position relative to the support and resistance areas.
In the example below, the indicator shows the bands expanding with the price, triggering the formation of the predictive order block.
In the final example, the price retraces into the order block before bouncing back to the upside, demonstrating the effectiveness of the identified support area.
Alerts
Trend Line Alerts: The indicator provides alerts when the price crosses above or below the trend line (median line). This feature is crucial for traders looking to identify potential trend changes early, allowing them to act quickly on emerging opportunities.
Band Alerts: Alerts are also triggered when the price crosses above or below the upper or lower bands for each standard deviation level. This helps traders identify potential breakout or breakdown scenarios, ensuring they are notified of significant market movements as they happen.
Customisable Alert Conditions: To cater to different trading strategies, the indicator allows users to set alert conditions for each standard deviation band and the trend line. This level of customisation ensures that traders receive alerts that are relevant to their specific trading style and market analysis.
Application
Strategic Decision-Making: The Predictive Order Blocks Indicator assists traders in making informed decisions by providing detailed analysis of potential breakout zones. By identifying key support and resistance areas, the indicator helps traders plan their entries and exits with greater precision.
Trend Confirmation: The indicator reinforces trading strategies by identifying key levels where price is likely to react. This confirmation is crucial for traders looking to enter trades with higher confidence.
Customized Analysis: The indicator adapts to various trading styles with extensive input settings that control the display and calculation of order blocks. Whether you're a day trader, swing trader, or long-term investor, the indicator can be tailored to meet your specific needs.
Visual Clarity: With customizable color settings and display options, the indicator enhances chart readability, allowing traders to quickly and easily interpret market data.
The Predictive Order Blocks Indicator by CryptoSea is an invaluable addition to a trader's toolkit, offering depth and precision in market trend analysis to navigate complex market conditions effectively.
Sylvain Zig-Zag [MyTradingCoder]This Pine Script version of ZigZagHighLow is a faithful port of Sylvain Vervoort's original study, initially implemented in NinjaScript and later added to the thinkorswim standard library. This indicator identifies and connects swing points in price data, offering a clear visualization of market moves that exceed a specified threshold. Additionally, it now includes features for detecting and plotting support and resistance levels, enhancing its utility for technical analysis.
Overview
The Sylvain Zig-Zag study excels at highlighting significant price swings by plotting points where the price change, combined with volatility adjustments via the Average True Range (ATR), exceeds a user-defined percentage. It effectively smooths out minor fluctuations, allowing traders to focus on the primary market trends. This tool is particularly useful in identifying potential turning points, trends in price movements, and key support and resistance levels, making it a valuable addition to your technical analysis arsenal.
How It Works
The Sylvain Zig-Zag indicator works by detecting swing points in the price data and connecting them to form a zigzag pattern. A swing point is identified when the price moves a certain distance, defined by a combination of percentage change and ATR. This distance must be exceeded for a swing point to be plotted.
When the price moves upwards and exceeds the previous high by a specified percentage plus a factor of the ATR, a new high swing point is plotted. Conversely, a low swing point is plotted when the price moves downwards and exceeds the previous low by the same criteria. This ensures that only significant price moves are considered, filtering out minor fluctuations and providing a clear view of the overall market trend.
In addition to plotting zigzag lines, the indicator can now identify and draw support and resistance levels based on the detected swing points. These levels are crucial for identifying potential reversal areas and market structure.
Key Features
Swing Point Detection: Accurately identifies significant price swings by considering both percentage price change and volatility (via Average True Range).
Dynamic Support/Resistance: Automatically generates support and resistance lines based on the identified swing points, providing potential areas of price reversals.
Customizable Parameters: Tailor the indicator's sensitivity to your preferred trading style and market conditions. Adjust parameters like percentage reversal, ATR settings, and absolute/tick reversals.
Visual Clarity: Choose to display the ZigZag line, support/resistance levels, new trend icons, continuation icons, and even customize bar colors for easy visual analysis.
Trading Applications
Trend Identification: Easily visualize the prevailing market trend using the direction of the ZigZag line and support/resistance levels.
Entry/Exit Signals: Potential entry points can be identified when the price interacts with the dynamic support/resistance levels.
Stop-Loss Placement: Use recent swing points as logical places for setting stop-loss orders.
Profit Targets: Project potential price targets based on the distance between previous swing points.
Input Parameters
Several input parameters can be adjusted to customize the behavior of the Sylvain Zig-Zag indicator. These parameters allow traders to fine-tune the detection of swing points and support/resistance levels to better suit their trading strategy and the specific market conditions they are analyzing.
High Source and Low Source:
These inputs define the price points used for detecting high and low swing points, respectively. You can choose between high, low, open, or close prices for these calculations.
Percentage Reversal:
This input sets the minimum percentage change in price required for a swing to be detected. A higher percentage value will result in fewer but more significant swing points, while a lower value will detect more frequent, smaller swings.
Absolute Reversal:
This parameter allows for an additional fixed value to be added to the minimum price change and ATR change. This can be useful for increasing the distance between swing points in volatile markets.
ATR Length:
This input defines the period used for calculating the ATR, which is a measure of market volatility. A longer ATR period will smooth out the ATR calculation, while a shorter period will make it more sensitive to recent price changes.
ATR Multiplier:
This factor is applied to the ATR value to adjust the sensitivity of the swing point detection. A higher multiplier will increase the required price movement for a swing point to be plotted, reducing the number of detected swings.
Tick Reversal:
This input allows for an additional value in ticks to be added to the minimum price change and ATR change, providing further customization in the swing point detection process.
Support and Resistance:
Show S/R: Enable or disable the plotting of support and resistance levels.
Max S/R Levels: Set the maximum number of support and resistance levels to display.
S/R Line Width: Adjust the width of the support and resistance lines.
Visual Settings
The Sylvain Zig-Zag indicator also includes visual settings to enhance the clarity of the plotted swing points and trends. You can customize the color and width of the zigzag line, and enable icons to indicate new trends and continuation patterns. Additionally, the bars can be colored based on the detected trend, aiding in quick visual analysis.
Conclusion
This port of the ZigZagHighLow study from NinjaScript to Pine Script preserves the essence of Sylvain Vervoort’s methodology while adding new features for support and resistance. It provides traders with a powerful tool for technical analysis. The combination of price changes and ATR ensures that you have a robust and adaptable tool for identifying key market movements and structural levels. Customize the settings to match your trading style and gain a clearer picture of market trends, turning points, and support/resistance areas.

Smart Money Setup 05 [TradingFinder] Minor OB & Trend Proof🔵 Introduction
The "Smart Money Concept" transcends the realm of mere technical trading strategies to embody a comprehensive philosophy on the dynamics of market operations. It posits that key market participants engage in price manipulation, thereby complicating the trading landscape for smaller, retail traders.
Under this doctrine, retail traders are advised to tailor their strategies in alignment with the maneuvers of "Smart Money" - essentially, the capital operated by market makers.
To this end, one should endeavor to mirror the trading patterns of these influential market participants, who are adept at navigating through the nuances of supply, demand, and overall market structure. As a proponent of Smart Money trading, these elements are pivotal in your decision-making process for trade entries.
🟣 Key Insights
The core principle of this strategy hinges on misleading other traders. A sudden market movement against the prevailing trend that results in the formation of either a lower low or a higher high, followed by a pullback where a divergence pattern emerges, sets the stage.
Subsequently, the market may form another lower low or higher high. Traders, persuaded that the market will continue along the trajectory of the new movement, are caught off-guard when the price abruptly reverses direction. Following a "Stop Hunt" of the traders' open positions, the market resumes its initial trend.
To grasp the essence of this setup, observe the following illustrations.

"Bearish Setup" :
🔵 How to Use
The setups can be customized based on the desired formation period. This adjustment can be made through the indicator's price setting options, where the default period is set at 2.
Upon configuring your preferred period, the signals become actionable. Once a setup forms, the subsequent step involves waiting for the price to reach the "Order Block".

Smart Money Oscillator [ChartPrime]The "Smart Money Oscillator " is a premium and discount zone oscillator with BOS and CHoCH built in for further analysis of price action. This indicator works by first determining the the premium and discount zones by using pivot points and high/lows. The top of this oscillator represents the current premium zone while the bottom half of this oscillator represents the discount zone. This oscillator functionally works like a stochastic oscillator with more sophisticated upper and lower bounds generated using smart money concept theories. We have included a moving average to allow the user to visualize the currant momentum in the oscillator. Another key feature we have included lagging divergences to help traders visualize potential reversal conditions.
Understanding the concepts of Premium and Discount zones, as well as Break of Structure (BoS) and Change of Character (CHoCH), is crucial for traders using the Smart Money Oscillator. These concepts are rooted in market structure analysis, which involves studying price levels and movements.
Premium Zone is where the price is considered to be relatively high or 'overbought'. In this zone, prices have risen significantly and may indicate that the asset is becoming overvalued, potentially leading to a reversal or slowdown in the upward trend.
The Discount Zone represents a 'discount' or 'oversold' area. Here, prices have fallen substantially, suggesting that the asset might be undervalued. This could be an indicator of a potential upward reversal or a pause in the downward trend.
Break of Structure (BoS) is about the continuation of a trend. In a bullish trend, a BoS is identified by the break of a recent higher high. In a bearish trend, it's the break of a recent Lower Low. BoS indicates that the trend is strong and likely to continue in its current direction. It's a sign of strength in the prevailing trend, whether up or down.
Change of Character (CHoCH) is an indication of a potential end to a trend. It occurs when there's a significant change in the market's behavior, contradicting the current trend. For example, in an uptrend characterized by higher highs and higher lows, a CHoCH may occur if a new high is formed but then is followed by an impulsive move downwards. This suggests that the bullish trend may be weakening and a bearish reversal could be imminent. CHoCH is essentially a sign of trend exhaustion and potential reversal.
With each consecutive BoS, the signal line of the oscillator will deepen in color. This allows you to visually see the strength of the current trend. The maximum strength of the trend is found by keeping track of the maximum number of consecutive BoS's within a window of 10. This calculation excludes periods without any BoS's to allow for a more stable max.
Quick Update is a feature that implements a more aggressive algorithm to update the highs and lows. Instead of updating the pivot points exclusively to update the range levels, it will attempt to use the current historical highs/lows to update the bounds. This results in a more responsive range at the cost of stability. There are pros and cons for both settings. With Quick Update disabled, the indicator will allow for strong reversals to register without the indicator maxing out. With Quick Update enabled, the indicator will show shorter term extremes with the risk of the signal being pinned to the extremities during strong trends or large movements. With Quick Update disabled, the oscillator prioritizes stability, using a more historical perspective to set its bounds. When Quick Update is enabled, the oscillator becomes more responsive, adjusting its bounds rapidly to reflect the latest market movements.
The Scale Offset feature allows the indicator to break the boundaries of the oscillator. This can be useful when the market is breaking highs or lows allowing the user to identify extremities in price. With Scale Offset disabled the oscillator will always remain inside of the boundaries because the extremities will be updated instantly. When this feature is enabled it will update the boundaries one step behind instead of updating it instantly. This allows the user to more easily see overbought and oversold conditions at the cost of incurring a single bar lag to the boundaries. Generally this is a good idea as this behavior makes the oscillator more sensitive to recent price spikes or drops, reflecting sudden market movements more accurately. It accentuates the extremities of the market conditions, potentially offering a more aggressive analysis. The main trade-off with the Scale Offset feature is between sensitivity and potential overreaction. It offers a more immediate and exaggerated reflection of market conditions but might also lead to misinterpretations in certain scenarios, especially in highly volatile markets.
Divergence is used to predict potential trend reversals. It occurs when the price of an asset and the reading of an oscillator move in opposite directions. This discrepancy can signal a weakening of the current trend and possibly indicate a potential reversal.
Divergence doesn't always lead to a trend reversal, but it's a warning sign that the current trend might be weakening. Divergence can sometimes give false signals, particularly in strongly trending markets where the oscillator may remain in overbought or oversold conditions for extended periods. The lagging nature of using pivot points to calculate divergences means that all divergences are limited by the pivot look forward input. The upside of using a longer look forward is that the divergences will be more accurate. The obvious con here is that it will be more delayed and might be useless by the time it appears. Its recommended to use the built in divergences as a way to learn how these are formed so you can make your own in real time.
By default, the oscillator uses a smoothing of 3 to allow for a more price like behavior while still being rather smooth compared to raw price data. Conversely, you can increase this value to make this indicator behave smoother. Something to keep in mind is that the amount of delay from real time is equal to half of the smoothing period.
We have included a verity of alerts in this indicator. Here is a list of all of the available alerts: Bullish BOS, Bearish BOS, Bullish CHoCH, Bearish CHoCH, Bullish Divergence, Hidden Bullish Divergence, Bearish Divergence, Hidden Bearish Divergence, Cross Over Average, Cross Under Average.
Below are all of the inputs and their tooltips to get you started:

Daylight Saving Time (DST) : Adjust time appropriate to Daylight Saving Time of the specific region.
🔶 USAGE
A macro is a way to automate a task or procedure which you perform on a regular basis.
In the context of ICT's teachings, a macro is a small program or set of instructions that unfolds within an algorithm, which influences price movements in the market. These macros operate at specific times and can be related to price runs from one level to another or certain market behaviors during specific time intervals. They help traders anticipate market movements and potential setups during specific time intervals.
To trade these effectively, it is important to understand the time of day when certain macros come into play, and it is strongly advised to introduce the concept of liquidity in your analysis.
Macros can be classified into three categories where the Macro classification is calculated based on the Market Structure prior to macro and the Market Structure during the macro duration:
Manipulation Macro
Manipulation macros are characterized by liquidity being swept both on the buyside and sellside.
Expansion Macro
Expansion macros are characterized by liquidity being swept only on the buyside or sellside. Prices within these macros are highly correlated with the overall trend.
Accumulation Macro
Accumulation macros are characterized by an accumulation of liquidity. Prices within these macros tend to range.
The script returns the maximum/minimum price values reached during the macro interval alongside the average between the maximum/minimum and extends them until a new macro starts. These levels can act as supports and resistances.
🔶 DETAILS
All required data for the macro detection and classification is retrieved using 1 minute data sets, this includes candles as well as pivot/swing highs and lows. This approach guarantees the visually presented objects are same (same highs/lows) on higher timeframes as well as the macro classification remain same as it is in 1 min charts.

Multi-Indicator by johntradingwickThe Multi-Indicator includes the functionality of the following indicators:
1. Market Structure
2. Support and Resistance
3. VWAP
4. Simple Moving Average
5. Exponential Moving Average
Functionality of the Multi-Indicator:
Market Structure
As we already know, the market structure is one of the most important things in trading. If we are able to identify the trend correctly, it takes away a huge burden. For this, I have used the Zig Zag indicator to identify price trends. It plots points on the chart whenever the prices reverse by a larger percentage than a predetermined variable. The points are then connected by straight lines that will help you to identify the swing high and low.
This will help you to filter out any small price movements, making it easier to identify the trend, its direction, and its strength levels. You can change the period in consideration and the deviation by changing the deviation % and the depth.
Support and Resistance
The indicator provides the functionality to add support and resistance levels. If you want more levels just change the timeframe it looks at in the settings. It will pull the SR levels off the timeframe specified in the settings.
You can select the timeframe for support and resistance levels. The default time frame is “same as the chart”.
You can also extend lines to the right and change the width and colour of the lines. There is also an option to change the criteria to select the lines as valid support or resistance. You can extend the S/R level or use the horizontal lines to mark the level when there is a change in polarity.
VWAP
Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) is used to measure the average price weighted by volume. VWAP is typically used with intraday charts as a way to determine the general direction of intraday prices. It's similar to a moving average in that when the price is above VWAP, prices are rising and when the price is below VWAP, prices are falling. VWAP is primarily used by technical analysts to identify market trend.
Simple Moving Average
A simple Moving Average is an unweighted Moving Average. This means that each day in the data set has equal importance and is weighted equally. As each new day ends, the oldest data point is dropped and the newest one is added to the beginning.
The multi-indicator has the ability to provide 5 moving averages. This is particularly helpful if you want to use various time periods such as 20, 50, 100, and 200. Although this is just basic functionality, it comes in handy if you are using a free account.
Exponential Moving Average
An exponential moving average (EMA) is a type of moving average (MA) that places a greater weight and significance on the most recent data points. An exponentially weighted moving average reacts more significantly to recent price changes than a simple moving average. The multi-indicator provides 5 exponential moving averages. This is particularly helpful if you want to use various time periods such as 20, 50, 100, and 200.
