NQ 300+ Point Day Checklist (Bias + Alerts + Markers)This indicator helps identify high-range (≥300-point) days on Nasdaq-100 futures (NQ / MNQ) using a clear, rule-based checklist. It evaluates volatility, compression, price displacement, prior-day structure, and overnight activity to generate a daily expansion score (0–6). Higher scores signal an increased likelihood of a strong trending or expansion day. The script also provides: Expansion probability levels (Normal / Watch / High-Prob) Bullish, bearish, or neutral bias On-chart markers and background highlights Optional alerts for early awareness Best used on the Daily timeframe to help traders focus on high-opportunity days and avoid overtrading during consolidation. This is a context and probability tool — not a trade signal.

Fair Value Gap WindowStupid little toy I made to get my toes back in the water. How does this work? Detects fair value gaps up to the count you specify in the settings Plots them on the chart if they are inside of the 2 lines (top and bottom) If the fair value gap is partially outside of the "window", it will only draw the part of it thats inside the window. Not really useful but if you wanna take a look at the code for practice for yourself, feel free I guess haha

Liquidity Buy SignalLiquidity Buy Signal is an indicator designed to detect BUY entries based on liquidity (swing lows) combined with a bullish reversal candle pattern. It automatically marks recent swing-low zones/levels, tracks the transition from solid → dashed when a level gets broken, and then confirms a signal when price sweeps/cuts the correct level and a bullish candle pattern appears. OANDA:EURUSD BUY signal (green triangle) triggers when: A bullish reversal candle pattern (based on a set of rules) is detected, and The Liquidity chain conditions are satisfied using the most recent swing lows: Price crosses the level with the lower wick, or The level is within the lower 30% range of the previous candle (n-1), and The level does not pass through the bodies of older candles (filtered by lookback). Key settings: Pivot Lookback: controls swing-low detection sensitivity. Swing Area: Wick Extremity / Full Range for zone definition. Filter lookback older bodies: filters out levels that intersect older candle bodies (skips n-2). Style: toggle Swing Low display + zone/line colors. Alerts: Includes a built-in alertcondition for BUY signals (useful for notifications/webhooks). This indicator is especially well-suited for identifying potential bottoms in a downtrend. Note: This tool provides trading signals and should be combined with context (trend/HTF/volume/risk management) before entering trades. Not financial advice.

Open the `wyckoff_comprehensive.pine` file 2. Select all code (Ctrl+A / Cmd+A) 3. Copy to clipboard (Ctrl+C / Cmd+C) ### Step 2: Add to TradingView 1. Go to TradingView.com 2. Open any chart 3. Click "Pine Editor" at the bottom of the screen 4. Click "New" or "Open" 5. Paste the entire code 6. Click "Save" and give it a name 7. Click "Add to Chart" ### Step 3: Verify Installation You should see: - Labels on the chart (PS, SC, Spring, SOS, etc.) - Background colors indicating phases - Volume analysis in the lower pane - A table in the top-right corner showing current phase --- ## WYCKOFF METHOD THEORY ### The Three Fundamental Laws #### 1. **Law of Supply and Demand** - Price rises when demand exceeds supply - Price falls when supply exceeds demand - The indicator tracks volume vs price movement to identify imbalances #### 2. **Law of Cause and Effect** - A period of accumulation (cause) leads to markup (effect) - A period of distribution (cause) leads to markdown (effect) - Trading ranges build "cause" for future price movement #### 3. **Law of Effort vs Result** - **Effort** = Volume (energy put into the market) - **Result** = Price movement (spread of the bar) - High effort with low result = potential reversal - Low effort with high result = trend weakness ### The Five Phases #### **ACCUMULATION CYCLE** **Phase A: Stopping the Downtrend** - Preliminary Support (PS): First sign of buying - Selling Climax (SC): Panic selling exhaustion - Automatic Rally (AR): Bounce from SC - Secondary Test (ST): Test of SC low on lower volume **Phase B: Building the Cause** - Trading range develops - Supply being absorbed by composite operator - Multiple tests of support and resistance - Volume generally decreases **Phase C: The Test (Spring)** - False breakdown below support - Traps late sellers - Quick reversal on low volume - Last chance to accumulate before markup **Phase D: Dominance Emerges** - Sign of Strength (SOS): Break above resistance - Last Point of Support (LPS): Pullback opportunity - Backup (BU): Final consolidation - Demand clearly exceeds supply **Phase E: Markup** - New uptrend established - Price moves rapidly higher - Phase E can last months/years - Original trading range becomes support #### **DISTRIBUTION CYCLE** **Phase A: Stopping the Uptrend** - Preliminary Supply (PSY): First sign of selling - Buying Climax (BC): Euphoric buying exhaustion - Automatic Reaction (AR): Sharp selloff from BC - Secondary Test (ST): Test of BC high on lower volume **Phase B: Building the Cause** - Trading range at top - Demand being absorbed by composite operator - Multiple tests of support and resistance **Phase C: The Test (UTAD)** - Upthrust After Distribution - False breakout above resistance - Traps late buyers - Quick reversal **Phase D: Dominance Emerges** - Sign of Weakness (SOW): Break below support - Last Point of Supply (LPSY): Rally opportunity to exit - Supply clearly exceeds demand **Phase E: Markdown** - New downtrend established - Price moves rapidly lower - Original trading range becomes resistance --- ## INDICATOR COMPONENTS ### 1. EVENT LABELS #### Accumulation Events (Green labels) - **PS** = Preliminary Support - **SC** = Selling Climax (largest label, most important) - **AR** = Automatic Rally - **ST** = Secondary Test - **SPRING** = Spring (critical buy signal) - **TEST** = Test of support - **SOS** = Sign of Strength (breakout) - **LPS** = Last Point of Support - **BU** = Backup #### Distribution Events (Red labels) - **PSY** = Preliminary Supply - **BC** = Buying Climax (largest label, most important) - **AR** = Automatic Reaction - **ST** = Secondary Test - **UTAD** = Upthrust After Distribution (critical sell signal) - **SOW** = Sign of Weakness - **LPSY** = Last Point of Supply #### VSA Events (Small colored labels) - **ND** (Orange) = No Demand - weakness - **NS** (Blue) = No Supply - strength - **SV** (Purple) = Stopping Volume - **UT** (Red) = Upthrust - weakness - **SO** (Green) = Shakeout - strength #### Composite Operator (💰 symbols) - Green 💰 at bottom = Smart Money Accumulation - Red 💰 at top = Smart Money Distribution ### 2. BACKGROUND COLORS - **Light Blue** = Phase A (Accumulation) - **Light Orange** = Phase A (Distribution) - **Very Light Green** = Phase C (Accumulation Testing) - **Very Light Red** = Phase C (Distribution Testing) - **Light Green** = Phase D (Accumulation Strength) - **Light Red** = Phase D (Distribution Weakness) - **Green** = Phase E (Markup - Bull trend) - **Red** = Phase E (Markdown - Bear trend) ### 3. SUPPLY & DEMAND ZONES - **Green boxes** = Demand zones (where smart money accumulated) - **Red boxes** = Supply zones (where smart money distributed) - Zones extend 20 bars into the future - Price reactions at these zones are significant ### 4. VOLUME PANEL - **Dark Green/Red bars** = Very High Volume (climax) - **Light Green/Red bars** = High Volume - **Gray bars** = Normal Volume - **Faint Gray bars** = Low Volume - **Blue line** = Volume Moving Average ### 5. INFORMATION TABLE (Top Right) Displays real-time analysis: - **Current Phase** (A, B, C, D, or E) - **Status** (description of what's happening) - **Volume** (Very High, High, Normal, Low) - **Spread** (Wide, Normal, Narrow) - **Effort/Result** (Poor, Normal, Good) - **Range** (YES if in trading range) - **Bias** (BULLISH, BEARISH, or NEUTRAL) --- ## HOW TO READ THE SIGNALS ### STRONG BUY SIGNALS (in order of strength) 1. **SPRING** (strongest) - False breakdown below support - Look for: Low volume, quick reversal, close above support - Entry: When price closes back above support level - Stop: Below the spring low 2. **SOS (Sign of Strength)** - Break above trading range resistance - Look for: High volume, wide spread up bar - Entry: On breakout or pullback to LPS - Stop: Below trading range 3. **Shakeout (SO)** - Similar to spring but more violent - Look for: High volume, penetration of support, strong close - Entry: When price reclaims support - Stop: Below shakeout low 4. **LPS (Last Point of Support)** - Pullback after SOS - Look for: Low volume, shallow pullback - Entry: When support holds - Stop: Below LPS 5. **No Supply (NS)** - Down bar on very low volume - Indicates lack of selling pressure - Confirms accumulation phase ### STRONG SELL SIGNALS (in order of strength) 1. **UTAD (Upthrust After Distribution)** (strongest) - False breakout above resistance - Look for: High volume spike, rejection, close below resistance - Entry: When price closes back below resistance - Stop: Above UTAD high 2. **SOW (Sign of Weakness)** - Break below trading range support - Look for: High volume, wide spread down bar - Entry: On breakdown or rally to LPSY - Stop: Above trading range 3. **Upthrust (UT)** - Move above resistance on low volume, weak close - Look for: Low volume, close in lower half of bar - Entry: When resistance becomes resistance again - Stop: Above upthrust high 4. **LPSY (Last Point of Supply)** - Rally after SOW - Look for: Low volume, weak rally - Entry: When rally fails - Stop: Above LPSY 5. **No Demand (ND)** - Up bar on very low volume - Indicates lack of buying pressure - Confirms distribution phase ### NEUTRAL/WARNING SIGNALS - **High Effort, Low Result** = Potential reversal coming - **Stopping Volume** = Trend may be ending - **Absorption** = Large volume with small movement (accumulation/distribution) --- ## TRADING STRATEGY EXAMPLES ### Strategy 1: Accumulation Range Breakout **Setup:** 1. Identify trading range (blue background in Phase B) 2. Wait for Spring or Test (Phase C) 3. Wait for SOS breakout (Phase D) **Entry:** - Option A: Buy on SOS breakout - Option B: Wait for LPS pullback (better risk/reward) **Stop Loss:** - Below the spring low or trading range bottom **Target:** - Measure height of trading range (cause) - Project upward from breakout point (effect) - Minimum target = range height **Example:** ``` Trading Range: 100 to 120 (20 point range) SOS Breakout at: 120 Target: 120 + 20 = 140 minimum ``` ### Strategy 2: Distribution Range Breakdown **Setup:** 1. Identify trading range after uptrend 2. Wait for UTAD (Phase C) 3. Wait for SOW breakdown (Phase D) **Entry:** - Option A: Sell on SOW breakdown - Option B: Wait for LPSY rally (better risk/reward) **Stop Loss:** - Above the UTAD high or trading range top **Target:** - Measure height of trading range - Project downward from breakdown point - Minimum target = range height ### Strategy 3: Spring Trading **Setup:** 1. Strong downtrend followed by range 2. Price breaks below range bottom 3. Volume is LOW on breakdown 4. Price quickly reverses and closes above support **Entry:** - When candle closes above support level - Or on retest of support **Stop Loss:** - Below spring low (usually tight) **Target:** - Top of trading range - Previous swing high **Risk/Reward:** - Typically 1:3 or better ### Strategy 4: Smart Money Tracking **Setup:** 1. Look for 💰 symbols in demand zones 2. Multiple accumulation signals (PS, SC, ST, Test) 3. Volume decreasing during range **Entry:** - At next demand zone test - On SOS breakout **Confirmation:** - Background turning green (Phase D/E) - Table shows "BULLISH" bias ### Strategy 5: VSA Reversal **Setup:** 1. Strong trend in place 2. Stopping Volume (SV) appears at extreme 3. Followed by No Demand (ND) or No Supply (NS) **Entry:** - When trend breaks down/up - On retest of extreme **Example (Bullish):** ``` Downtrend → Stopping Volume → No Supply → Up bar Entry: Buy when price moves above SV bar ``` --- ## SETTINGS & CUSTOMIZATION ### Volume Analysis Settings **Volume MA Length** (default: 20) - Shorter = More sensitive to volume changes - Longer = Smoother, less noise - Recommended: 15-25 for most timeframes **High Volume Multiplier** (default: 1.5) - Threshold for "high volume" - Lower = More signals - Higher = Only extreme volume - Recommended: 1.3-2.0 **Climax Volume Multiplier** (default: 2.0) - Threshold for climax events (SC, BC) - Should be significantly higher than normal - Recommended: 2.0-3.0 ### Phase Detection Settings **Swing Detection Length** (default: 5) - How many bars to look left/right for swing points - Shorter = More swings detected (more noise) - Longer = Fewer swings (cleaner, might miss some) - Recommended: 3-7 **Range Expansion Threshold** (default: 1.5) - Multiplier for "wide spread" bars - Higher = Only very wide bars qualify - Recommended: 1.3-2.0 **Volume Confirmation** (default: ON) - Requires volume confirmation for events - Turn OFF for very low volume instruments - Keep ON for stocks, forex, crypto ### Display Options Toggle on/off: - ✅ **Show Accumulation/Distribution Phases** - Background colors - ✅ **Show Wyckoff Events** - All labeled events - ✅ **Show Volume Spread Analysis** - VSA labels - ✅ **Show Supply/Demand Zones** - Boxes on chart - ✅ **Show Composite Operator Signals** - 💰 symbols ### Color Customization - **Bullish Color** - All accumulation events - **Bearish Color** - All distribution events - **Neutral Color** - Range/neutral signals --- ## ALERT SETUP ### Available Alerts 1. **Selling Climax (SC)** - Potential bottom forming 2. **Spring** - Strong buy signal 3. **Sign of Strength (SOS)** - Bullish breakout 4. **Buying Climax (BC)** - Potential top forming 5. **UTAD** - Strong sell signal 6. **Sign of Weakness (SOW)** - Bearish breakdown 7. **Phase E Markup** - Uptrend confirmed 8. **Phase E Markdown** - Downtrend confirmed 9. **Smart Money Accumulation** - Institutions buying 10. **Smart Money Distribution** - Institutions selling ### How to Set Up Alerts 1.

Count Point & Figure Charts - Wyckoff used P&F to measure "cause" - Width of range × height = minimum move target - Longer accumulation = larger markup ### 2. Watch for Absorption - High volume + narrow spread = someone absorbing - In downtrend = accumulation - In uptrend = distribution ### 3. Multiple Timeframe Springs - Spring on daily + spring on weekly = very strong - Increases probability significantly ### 4. Failed Signals Are Signals Too - Failed spring = weakness, expect lower - Failed UTAD = strength, expect higher ### 5. Context is King - Don't buy during Phase E Markdown - Don't sell during Phase E Markup - Respect the major trend ### 6. Volume Precedes Price - Study volume changes first - Price follows volume - Decreasing volume in range = building energy ### 7. Composite Operator Mindset - Think like institutions - Where would smart money buy/sell? - They need liquidity (retail traders) --- ## RISK MANAGEMENT ### Position Sizing **Conservative:** - Risk 1% per trade - Wider stops at range boundaries **Moderate:** - Risk 1-2% per trade - Stops below spring/above UTAD **Aggressive:** - Risk 2-3% per trade - Tight stops - Higher win rate needed ### Stop Loss Placement **Accumulation:** - Below spring low - Below trading range bottom - Below demand zone **Distribution:** - Above UTAD high - Above trading range top - Above supply zone ### Take Profit Strategy **Method 1: Measured Move** - Range height = minimum target - 2x range height = extended target **Method 2: Fibonacci Extensions** - 1.0 = range height - 1.618 = extended target - 2.618 = maximum target **Method 3: Trail the Stop** - Move stop to breakeven at 1R - Trail under swing lows in markup - Lock in profits progressively --- ## BACKTESTING CHECKLIST Before trading with real money: - Backtest on 50+ historical examples - Record all signals in trading journal - Calculate win rate (aim for >50%) - Calculate average R:R (aim for >1:2) - Test on multiple instruments - Test on multiple timeframes - Test in different market conditions - Verify signal consistency - Practice on demo account - Start small with real money --- ## RECOMMENDED READING ### Books 1. **"Studies in Tape Reading"** - Richard D.

TradingView Wyckoff ideas section --- ## FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS **Q: Can I use this on crypto?** A: Yes, works well on major cryptocurrencies with good volume. **Q: Does it work on forex?** A: Yes, but use futures volume (like 6E for EUR/USD) for better accuracy. **Q: What's the best timeframe?** A: Daily chart for most traders. 4H for more active trading. **Q: How long does accumulation last?** A: Typically 2-12 weeks. Longer accumulation = bigger markup. **Q: Can I automate this?** A: You can use the alerts, but manual analysis is recommended. **Q: What's the win rate?** A: With proper filtering: 60-70% on major signals (Spring, UTAD, SOS, SOW). **Q: Should I trade every signal?** A: No. Focus on Spring, UTAD, SOS, and SOW in trending markets. **Q: What if I see conflicting signals?** A: Use higher timeframe for context. When in doubt, stay out. **Q: How do I know which phase I'm in?** A: Check the table in top-right corner. Also look at background color. **Q: Can I use this for options trading?** A: Yes, excellent for timing option entries (especially around Spring/UTAD). --- ## FINAL THOUGHTS The Wyckoff Method is: - **A complete trading system** (not just an indicator) - **Based on 100+ years** of market wisdom - **Used by institutions** and professional traders - **Requires practice** and screen time - **Highly effective** when applied correctly **Success Tips:** 1. Start with daily charts 2. Focus on major events (SC, Spring, SOS, BC, UTAD, SOW) 3. Always check higher timeframe context 4. Wait for confirmation before entering 5. Manage risk properly 6. Keep a trading journal 7. Be patient - wait for the best setups **Remember:** - Not every range will have all events - Some phases may be abbreviated - Context and confluence matter most - Practice makes perfect --- ## SUPPORT & UPDATES For questions, improvements, or bug reports: - Check TradingView script comments - Join Wyckoff trading communities - Study historical examples - Practice on demo accounts **Good luck and happy trading!** --- *Disclaimer: This indicator is for educational purposes.

Test for remaining demand (ST) 5. Mark it down (SOW → Phase E) 💰 They sell HIGH when retail buys ``` ### Where to Look for Smart Money ``` 💰 Buy signals appear at: - Demand zones (green boxes) - Springs and shakeouts - Tests of support - After selling climax 💰 Sell signals appear at: - Supply zones (red boxes) - UTAD and upthrusts - Weak rallies (LPSY) - After buying climax ``` --- ## PRACTICE EXERCISES ### Exercise 1: Identify the Phase Look at any chart and ask: 1. Is there a trading range? (Phase B likely) 2. Did we just stop a trend? (Phase A) 3. Was there a spring/UTAD? (Phase C) 4. Is there a breakout? (Phase D) 5. Is trend running? (Phase E) ### Exercise 2: Volume Analysis For each bar, note: - Volume level (High/Normal/Low) - Spread (Wide/Normal/Narrow) - Effort vs Result (Matching? Diverging?) ### Exercise 3: Find Historical Springs Go back 6 months: - Mark all springs you can find - Note the setup before each - Track what happened after - Calculate win rate --- ## FINAL VISUALIZATION: The Complete Cycle ``` ACCUMULATION → MARKUP → DISTRIBUTION → MARKDOWN → ACCUMULATION...

ICT Macro Tracker - Study Version (Original by toodegrees)This indicator is a modified study version of the ICT Algorithmic Macro Tracker by toodegrees, based on the original open-source script available at The original indicator plots ICT Macro windows on the chart, corresponding to specific time [ periods when the Interbank Price Delivery Algorithm undergoes checks/instructions (aka "macros") for the price engine to reprice to an area of liquidity or inefficiency. This study version adds functionality to hide bars outside macro periods. When enabled, the indicator draws boxes that cover the full chart height during non-macro periods, obscuring those bars so only macro periods are visible. This helps focus on macro-only price action. The feature is configurable, allowing users to enable or disable it and customize the box color. All original functionality remains intact.

Magical Thirteen Turns - The Greedy SnakeThe number 9 appears: Meaning: Warning signal. The rise may encounter resistance and a cautious pullback is about to begin. Operation: Consider reducing your holdings (selling a portion) to lock in profits and avoid experiencing wild fluctuations. The number 13 appears: Meaning: Strong sell signal. The upward momentum is likely to be exhausted, which is also known as "bull exhaustion". Operation: It is recommended to liquidate your positions or significantly reduce them. Short sell (if you are trading contracts).

Unsurpassed Close LevelsThis indicator identifies and visually highlights previous candle close prices that have not yet been surpassed by any subsequent higher high — creating dynamic horizontal resistance levels based purely on closing prices. How it works: For every confirmed candle, a dashed horizontal ray is drawn from its close price extending to the right. The ray remains visible as long as no future candle's high reaches or exceeds that previous close level. As soon as price makes a new high that touches or surpasses the level, the ray is automatically removed. Duplicate levels (exact same close price already active) are skipped to keep the chart clean. A built-in limit of 50 active levels prevents overload on very long timeframes. Use cases: Spot potential resistance zones formed by previous closes that price has failed to reclaim on the upside. Helpful in downtrends or ranging markets to visualize "overhead supply" levels where sellers previously stepped in at the close. Great complement to traditional swing highs or supply/demand zones — focuses exclusively on close-based resistance. Works on any timeframe and any instrument. Visuals: Dashed red horizontal rays extending right from unsurpassed closes. Clean and lightweight — lines disappear automatically when invalidated. Simple, effective, and fully automatic. No inputs required. Feel free to customize the color, style, or max levels count in the code if desired.

Impulse %Impulse % — Liquidation Cascade Detector (BTC · 1H) Impulse % identifies sharp impulsive price moves and liquidation cascades by measuring how much a candle’s range deviates from its historical average in percent. How it works Calculates the candle range (in %) relative to price and compares it to the average over N periods. When the range exceeds the upper band, an Impulse is detected. Inside each 1H candle, the indicator checks lower timeframes (1m / 5m) to classify the impulse phases: PANIC — the first minutes of a violent move (forced liquidations, stop hunts). CAUTION (Cascade) — continuation and “cleanup” phase with elevated risk. Determines whether the impulse is against the trend using EMA 50 / EMA 200 — the most dangerous scenario. Highlights risk zones to protect positions and filter new entries. What it’s for Avoid entering during liquidation cascades. Exit at break-even or partially take profit during risky phases. Recommended Settings — BTC (1H) Calculation Calculation TF: (empty = current) Average Mode: By N bars N (bars): 100 Range Type: High–Low Bands Upper Band (% of average): 130 Lower Band: Auto (same %) Cascade (First Minutes) Enable Cascade Filter: ON When to trigger safety: Only against trend PANIC (minutes): 3 CAUTION (minutes after PANIC): 15 Trend (EMA) Use EMA Trend: ON Fast EMA: 50 Slow EMA: 200 Lower TF Detection Lower TF: 1m (or 5m if you prefer smoother signals) Visualization Style: Columns Show Bands: ON Show Band Lines & Mean: ON How to read it (BTC · 1H) Purple (PANIC): first minutes of liquidation — do not enter.

MACD Trend Count ScoreThis indicator aims to confirm trends in an asset's price. This confirmation is achieved by counting the MACD bars in a calculation using the chosen timeframe. Positive and negative bars are considered in the calculation of the strength index, which indicates the current trend of that asset. This Delta index summarizes the predominance of positive or negative bars in the MACD histogram over weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, bi-monthly, and quarterly periods, and, depending on the timeframe used, its result allows one to indicate the intensity of the current trend, according to the results it shows within the following ranges: Acima de +60 → Strong Raise. Entre +20 e +60 → Moderate High. Entre -20 e +20 → Neutral. Entre -60 e -20 → Moderate Low. Abaixo de -60 → Strong Low.

UK100 London Judas & IFVG SetupUK100 London Judas & IFVG Setup Overview This indicator is a specialized trading tool designed to automate the ICT Judas Swing strategy specifically for the UK100 (FTSE 100) index during the London Market Open. It combines institutional time-based logic with price action confirmation using Inversion Fair Value Gaps (IFVG) to identify high-probability reversal setups. How It Works The strategy is based on the concept that the initial move after the London Open is often a "fake-out" (manipulation) designed to trap retail traders and engineer liquidity before the true trend of the day begins. Session & Opening Price: The script marks the London Open price (default 09:00 Warsaw / 08:00 London time) with a dashed line. This serves as the "line in the sand." Prices moving away from this line initially are monitored for manipulation. Judas Swing (Liquidity Sweep): If price moves BELOW the open, it is hunting Sell-Side Liquidity (trapping sellers). If price moves ABOVE the open, it is hunting Buy-Side Liquidity (trapping buyers). The Entry Trigger: Inversion FVG (IFVG): The indicator scans for Fair Value Gaps (FVG) created during the manipulation phase. BUY Signal: The price manipulates lower, creates a Bearish FVG (Red Box), but then aggressively reverses and closes ABOVE that gap. The gap is now "Inverted" (turns Green), acting as support. SELL Signal: The price manipulates higher, creates a Bullish FVG (Green Box), but then aggressively reverses and closes BELOW that gap. The gap is now "Inverted" (turns Orange), acting as resistance. Key Features Automated Pattern Recognition: No need to manually draw gaps. The script detects valid FVG inversions that align with the Judas Swing logic. Built-in Risk Calculator: The signal labels display the exact Lot Size you should use based on your account balance and risk percentage (default 0.5%). It calculates this dynamically based on the Stop Loss distance. Institutional Targets: The indicator fetches H1 Fractals (Liquidity) from the 1-hour timeframe and plots them on your 1-minute chart as blue lines. These are your primary Take Profit (TP) levels. Stop Loss Visualization: Automatically suggests a Stop Loss placement behind the swing high/low of the reversal structure. How to Use Timeframe: Set your chart to 1 Minute (1m). Asset: UK100 (FTSE 100). Wait: Allow the London session to open. Watch for price to move away from the opening line. Execute: When a BUY or SELL label appears: Enter the trade using the Lot Size shown on the label. Set your Stop Loss at the price shown on the label. Target the blue H1 Liquidity lines for profit taking. Settings Timezone: Set this to your chart/exchange timezone (Default: Europe/Warsaw). Account Balance: Input your current trading capital (e.g., 100,000) for accurate risk calculations. Risk Per Trade %: The percentage of your account you are willing to lose if the Stop Loss is hit (Standard: 0.5% - 1.0%). Contract Size: The value of 1 point movement (Check your broker's specifications. Usually 1 for CFDs). Alerts You can set a single alert in TradingView to capture all signals. Select the indicator and choose "Any alert() function call". You will receive a notification with the direction (Buy/Sell), Entry Price, and Lot Size.

Volume Delta Divergence Candle ColorThis indicator identifies divergences between price action and volume delta, highlighting potential reversal or continuation signals by coloring candles when buyer/seller pressure conflicts with the candle's direction. **How It Works:** The indicator analyzes real-time up/down volume data to detect two types of divergences: 🟣 **Seller Divergence (Fuscia)** - Occurs when a candle closes bullish (green) but the volume delta is negative, indicating more selling pressure despite the upward price movement. This suggests weak buying or potential distribution. 🔵 **Buyer Divergence (Cyan)** - Occurs when a candle closes bearish (red) but the volume delta is positive, indicating more buying pressure despite the downward price movement. This suggests weak selling or potential accumulation. **Features:** ✓ Colors only divergent candles - non-divergent candles maintain your chart's default colors ✓ Uses actual exchange volume delta data (works best with CME futures and other instruments with tick-level data) ✓ Optional triangle markers above/below divergent candles for quick visual identification ✓ Clean, minimal design that doesn't clutter your chart **Best Used For:** - Identifying potential reversals or continuations - Spotting weak price movements that may not follow through - Confirming price action with underlying volume pressure - Works on any timeframe with available volume delta data **Note:** This indicator requires volume data from exchanges that provide tick-level information (CME futures, cryptocurrency exchanges, etc.). Results may vary on instruments with limited volume data.
