Structure Detection. Imbalance Tracking. Trade Planning. Contextual Alerts.
Why This Integrated System Was Built
The ICT/SMC methodology requires tracking multiple analytical components simultaneously - a process prone to manual errors, time inefficiency, and visual clutter . This indicator consolidates these elements into a single, unified system , providing rules-based validation for experienced ICT traders who may struggle with execution speed, consistency, and manual calculations.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
What This Indicator Does
ICT/SMC methodology involves tracking multiple analytical components simultaneously. This indicator consolidates them into a single system.
Common challenges when applying ICT manually:
1️⃣ Structure Identification
Determining which pivots qualify as external (macro) structure versus internal (micro) structure requires consistent rules. Inconsistent structure identification affects the detection of the relevant trading range for entries , Change of Character (ChoCH) , and Break of Structure (BoS) . Accurate structure identification is paramount ; a faulty reading invalidates the entire ICT thesis for the current swing. While no automated system can replace human judgment, the indicator provides you with a rules-based starting point for structural analysis. The key goal is to help you find and map the relevant structural leg to focus on.
2️⃣ Chart Organization
Drawing Fibonacci retracements, Fair Value Gaps, Order Blocks, and other imbalances manually creates visual complexity that can obscure the analysis. The indicator addresses this by striving to show all imbalances in a consistent, unified, and understandable visual way , using color coding and z-order layering to maintain clarity even when multiple components are active.
3️⃣ Imbalance Tracking
ICT methodology requires monitoring a vast array of institutional footprints : Fair Value Gaps (FVG), Order Blocks (OB), Breaker Blocks (BB), Liquidity Pools (LP), Volume Imbalances, Wick Imbalances, and Kill Zone ranges. Tracking all these simultaneously and manually monitoring their mitigation status is highly time-intensive and prone to oversight . The indicator constantly scans and tracks all key imbalance types for you, automatically updating their status and creating a dynamic, real-time visual heatmap of unmitigated institutional inefficiency.
4️⃣ Trade Calculation
Determining structure-based Stop Loss (SL) placement, calculating multiple Take Profit (TP) levels with accurate position-sizing splits, and computing the final blended Risk-to-Reward (R:R) ratio involves multiple time-sensitive, manual calculations per setup . The indicator automates this entire trade calculation process for you, instantly providing the necessary pricing (entry, SL, TP), sizing, and performance projections, and mitigating the risk of execution error .
5️⃣ Condition Monitoring
ICT setups often require specific technical conditions to align: price reaching discount Fibonacci levels (0.618-0.882 for shorts, 0.118-0.382 for longs), EMA crossovers confirming momentum, or structural shifts (ChoCH/BoS). Identifying these moments requires continuous chart observation across multiple assets and timeframes.
This indicator includes an alert system that monitors these technical conditions and sends notifications when they occur (real-time). The alert system is designed to minimize spam. This allows traders to review potential setups on demand rather than through continuous observation - particularly relevant for those monitoring multiple instruments or trading sessions outside their local timezone.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Intended Use
This indicator is designed for traders who:
♦ Apply ICT/SMC methodology - Familiarity with concepts such as Fair Value Gaps, Order Blocks, Liquidity Pools, market structure, and discount/premium zones is assumed. The indicator does not teach these concepts but provides tools to apply them.
♦ Trade on intraday to swing timeframes - The structure detection and Fibonacci zone mapping work across multiple timeframes. Recommended primary timeframe: 1H (adjustable based on trading approach).
♦ Prefer systematic entry planning - The trade calculation feature computes stop loss, take profit levels, and risk-to-reward ratios based on structure and Fibonacci positioning. Suitable for traders who use defined entry criteria.
♦ Monitor multiple instruments or sessions - The alert functionality notifies when specific technical conditions occur (discount zone entries, EMA crossovers, structure changes), reducing the need for continuous manual monitoring.
♦ Use trade execution platforms - The trade summary table displays pre-formatted values (entry, SL, TP levels with quantity splits) that can be manually input into trading platforms or bot services like 3Commas.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
How To Use
Step 1: Structure Analysis
The indicator automatically detects external and internal market structure using pivot analysis. Structure lines are color-coded: red for bearish structure, green for bullish. External pivots are marked with larger triangles, internal pivots with smaller markers. The pivot length parameters (default: 20/20) can be adjusted in settings to align with your structural analysis approach and the asset you are analyzing.
Step 2: Define Your Trading Zone
Use the "Start Swing" and "End Swing" date inputs to mark the beginning and end of the (external) structural leg you wish to analyze. The indicator calculates Fibonacci retracement levels based on these points and color-codes the zones:
* Green zones: Discount area (0.618-0.882 for bearish / 0.118-0.382 for bullish)
* Yellow zones: Premium area (0.786-1.0 for bearish / 0.0-0.214 for bullish)
* Red zones: Extension area beyond structure (potential fake-out zones)
Step 3: Review Imbalances
The indicator identifies and displays multiple imbalance types:
🔥 Volume imbalances (from displacement candles based on PVSRA methodology)
🔥 Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
🔥 Order Blocks (OB) and Breaker Blocks (BB)
🔥 Liquidity Pools (LP) at equal highs/lows
🔥 Wick imbalances (exceptional wick formations)
🔥 Kill Zone liquidity from specific trading sessions (Asian, London, NY AM)
Volume Imbalances
Fair Value Gaps
Order Blocks
Liquidity Pools
Wick Imbalances
Kill Zone Imbalances
According to ICT methodology, imbalances act as price magnets - areas where price tends to return for mitigation. When multiple imbalances overlap at the same price level, this creates a confluence zone with a higher probability of price reaction .
Imbalances are displayed as gray boxes , creating a visual heatmap of institutional inefficiencies. When imbalances overlap, the zones appear darker due to layering, and labels combine to show confluence (e.g., "FVG + OB" or "Vol + LP").
Heatmap of Imbalances
User can view each type alone, or all together (heatmap)
Each imbalance type is tracked until mitigated by price according to ICT principles and can be toggled on/off independently in settings.
Step 4: Reference Levels & Sessions
The indicator displays additional reference data:
🔥 Daily Pivot Points (PP, R1-R3, S1-S3) calculated from previous day
🔥Average Daily Range (ADR) projected from the current day's extremes
🔥 Daily OHLC levels: Today's Open (DO), Previous Day High (PDH), Previous Day Low (PDL)
🔥Session backgrounds (optional): Color-coded boxes for Asian, London, NY AM, and NY PM sessions
Sessions
While these are not ICT-specific imbalances, they represent widely-watched price levels that often attract institutional activity and can act as additional reference points for support, resistance, and liquidity targeting.
All reference levels can be toggled independently in settings.
Step 5: Momentum Reference
EMA 14 and EMA 21 lines are displayed for momentum analysis. When EMA 14 enters discount zones and crosses EMA 21, a triangle marker appears on the chart. This indicates a potential alignment of structure and momentum conditions.
Step 6: Trade Planning
Input your intended entry price in the "Entry Price" field along with your margin and leverage parameters. The indicator automatically calculates all trade parameters:
* Stop loss level (based on Fibonacci structure - typically at 1.118 extension)
* Three take profit levels (TP1, TP2, TP3) with position quantity splits
* Risk-to-reward ratio (blended across all three targets)
* Projected profit/loss values in both dollars and percentage
All calculated values are displayed both visually on the chart (as horizontal lines with labels) and in a formatted Trade Summary table. The table organizes the information for quick reference: entry details, take profit levels with quantities, stop loss parameters, and performance projections.
This pre-calculated data can be manually copied into trading platforms or bot services (such as 3Commas Smart Trades) without requiring additional calculations.
Step 7: Alert Configuration
Create alerts using TradingView's alert system (select "Any alert() function call"). The indicator sends notifications when:
* Price reaches specific discount Fibonacci levels (0.618, 0.786, 0.882 for shorts / 0.382, 0.214, 0.118 for longs)
* EMA 14/21 crossovers occur within discount zones
* Change of Character (ChoCH) is detected
* Break of Structure (BoS) is detected
Note: Alerts require active TradingView alert functionality. Update alerts when changing your trading zone parameters.

Alert Functionality
The indicator includes an alert system that monitors technical conditions continuously.
When configured, alerts notify users when specific events occur:
❗ Discount Zone Monitoring
When EMA 14 crosses into key Fibonacci levels (0.618, 0.786, 0.882 for bearish structure / 0.382, 0.214, 0.118 for bullish structure), an alert is triggered. Example: Trading BTC and ETH simultaneously - instead of monitoring both charts for zone entries, alerts notify when either asset reaches the specified level.
❗ Momentum Alignment
When EMA 14 crosses EMA 21 within discount zones, an alert is sent. Example: Monitoring setups across multiple timeframes (1H, 4H, Daily) - alerts indicate when momentum conditions align on any timeframe being tracked.
❗ Structure Changes
Change of Character (ChoCH) and Break of Structure (BoS) events trigger alerts. Example: Trading during the Asian session while located in a different timezone - alerts notify of structure changes occurring outside active monitoring hours.
Configuration
Alerts are set up through TradingView's native alert system. Select "Any alert() function call" when creating the alert.
⚠️ Note: Alert parameters are captured at creation time, so alerts must be updated when changing trading zone settings (Start/End Swing dates) or any other parameter.
How to Create Alerts
Step 1: Open Alert Creation
Click the "Alert" button (clock icon) in the top toolbar of TradingView, or right-click on the chart and select "Add Alert."
Step 2: Configure Alert Condition
* In the alert dialog, set the Condition dropdown to select this indicator
* Set the alert type to ⚠️ " Any alert() function call "
* This configuration allows the indicator to trigger alerts based on its internal logic
Step 3: Set Alert Timing
* Timeframe: Same as chart
* Expiration: Choose "Open-ended (when triggered)" to keep the alert active until conditions occur
* Message tab: choose a name for the alert
Step 4: Notification Settings
Configure how you want to receive notifications:
* Popup within TradingView
* Email notification
* Mobile app push notification (requires TradingView mobile app)
Step 5: Create
Important Notes:
* Alert parameters are captured at creation time . If you change your trading zone (Start/End Swing dates) or entry price, delete the old alert and create a new one .
* One alert per chart: Create separate alerts for each instrument and timeframe you're monitoring.
* TradingView alert limits apply based on your TradingView subscription tier.
What Triggers Alerts: This indicator sends alerts for four key event types:
1. Discount Zone Entry - EMA 14 crossing key Fibonacci levels
2. Momentum Crossover - EMA 14/21 crossovers within discount zones
3. Change of Character (ChoCH) - Structure reversal detected
4. Break of Structure (BoS) - Trend continuation confirmed
All four conditions are monitored by a single alert configuration .

Methodology & Calculation Details
This indicator consolidates multiple ICT/SMC analytical components into a single integrated system. While individual elements could be created separately, this integration provides automated coordination between components , consistency, and reduces chart complexity.
Structure Detection External and internal pivots
Are identified using fractal pivot analysis with configurable lookback periods (default: 20 bars for both). A pivot high is confirmed when the high at the pivot bar exceeds all highs within the lookback range on both sides. Pivot lows use inverse logic. Structure lines connect validated pivots, with color coding based on price direction (higher highs/higher lows = bullish, lower highs/lower lows = bearish).
Fibonacci Retracement Calculation
Users define two swing points via date/time inputs. The indicator calculates the price range between these points and applies standard Fibonacci ratios (0.0, 0.118, 0.214, 0.382, 0.5, 0.618, 0.786, 0.882, 1.0, plus extensions at 1.118, 1.272, -0.118, -0.272). Zone classification is based on ICT discount/premium principles: 0.618-1.0 range for bearish setups, 0.0-0.382 for bullish setups.
Imbalance Identification
Volume Imbalances : Detected using PVSRA (Price, Volume, Support, Resistance Analysis) methodology. Candles are classified based on the percentile ranking of volume and price range over a 1344-bar lookback period. Type 1 imbalances require ≥95th percentile in both volume and range; Type 2 requires ≥85th percentile. Additional filters include body-to-range ratio (≥50% for Type 1, ≥30% for Type 2) and ATR validation.
Fair Value Gaps (FVG) : Identified when a three-candle sequence shows a price gap: low > high for bullish FVG, high < low for bearish FVG. The middle candle must close beyond the gap edge. Mitigation occurs when the price retraces into the gap.
Order Blocks (OB) : Detected by identifying the last opposing candle before a significant price move. When price breaks a swing high/low, the algorithm scans backwards to find the candle with the highest high (bearish OB) or lowest low (bullish OB) before the breakout. When an OB is breached, it converts to a Breaker Block (BB).
Liquidity Pools (LP) : Identified by detecting equal highs or equal lows using a tolerance threshold based on ATR. Pivot highs/lows within this tolerance range are grouped. Equal highs create Buy-Side Liquidity (BSL) zones above the level; equal lows create Sell-Side Liquidity (SSL) zones below the level.
Wick Imbalances: Flagged when a candle's wick exceeds 1.0x ATR and comprises >50% of the total candle range. These represent rapid rejections or absorption events.
Kill Zone Liquidity: Tracks the high/low range during specific ICT-defined sessions (Asian: 19:00-00:00 NY, London: 02:00-05:00 NY, NY AM: 09:30-11:00 NY). At session close, BSL and SSL zones are created above/below the session range.
Change of Character (ChoCH) & Break of Structure (BoS)
ChoCH is detected when price breaks counter to the established structure (bearish structure broken upward = bullish ChoCH; bullish structure broken downward = bearish ChoCH). BoS occurs when price breaks in the direction of the established trend (bearish structure breaking lower = bearish BoS; bullish structure breaking higher = bullish BoS).
Trade Calculations
Stop Loss and Take Profit levels are calculated based on the entry position within the Fibonacci zone structure:
* Premium entries (0.786-1.0 for shorts / 0.0-0.214 for longs): SL at 1.118/-0.118 extension, TP structure weighted toward zone extremes
* Golden entries (0.618-0.786 for shorts / 0.214-0.382 for longs): SL at 1.0/0.0 boundary, TP structure balanced across range
Risk-to-reward ratios are calculated as blended values across all three take profit levels, weighted by position quantity splits.
Reference Level Calculations
* Pivot Points: Standard formula using previous day's high, low, and close: PP = (H + L + C) / 3
* Support/Resistance: R1 = 2×PP - L, S1 = 2×PP - H, with R2/S2 and R3/S3 calculated using range extensions
* ADR: 14-period simple moving average of daily high-low range, projected from current day's extremes
Momentum Analysis
EMA 14 and EMA 21 use standard exponential moving average calculations. Crossovers are detected when EMA 14 crosses EMA 21 within user-defined discount zones, with directional confirmation (cross under in bearish discount = short signal; cross over in bullish discount = long signal).
Why This Integration Matters
While components like EMA crossovers, pivot detection, or Fibonacci retracements exist as separate indicators, this system provides:
1. Coordinated Analysis : All components reference the same structural framework (user-defined trading zone)
2. Automated Mitigation Tracking : Imbalances are monitored continuously and removed when mitigated according to ICT principles
3. Contextual Alerts : Notifications are triggered only when conditions align within the defined structural context
4. Trade Parameter Automation : Stop loss and take profit calculations adjust dynamically based on entry positioning within the structure
5. Consistent Visual Display : All elements use a unified color scheme, labeling system, and z-order layering. This eliminates visual conflicts that occur when stacking multiple independent indicators (overlapping lines, label collisions, inconsistent transparency levels, conflicting color schemes).
This consolidation reduces the need to manually coordinate 8-10 separate indicators, eliminates redundant calculations across disconnected tools, and maintains visual clarity even when all components are displayed simultaneously.

5. Required Competency (User Responsibility)
This indicator is built on the assumption that the user is an experienced trader with a working understanding of the complex concepts being visualized (ICT/SMC, FVG, Order Blocks, Liquidity, etc.). The indicator does not teach these concepts.
You Must Always Do Your Own Research (DYOR) before making any trading decision based on signals or visualization provided by this tool.
By installing and using this indicator, you explicitly agree to these terms and assume full responsibility for all trading activity.
Fair Value Gaps (FVG)This indicator automatically detects Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) using the classic 3-candle structure (ICT-style).
It is designed for traders who want clean charts and relevant FVGs only, without the usual clutter from past sessions or tiny, meaningless gaps.
Key Features
• Bullish & Bearish FVG detection
Identifies imbalances where price fails to trade efficiently between candles.
• Automatic FVG removal when filled
As soon as price trades back into the gap, the box is deleted in real time – no more outdated zones on the chart.
• Only shows FVGs from the current session
At the start of each new session, all previous FVGs are cleared.
Perfect for intraday traders who only care about today’s liquidity map.
• Flexible minimum gap size filter
Avoid noise by filtering FVGs using one of three modes:
Ticks (based on market tick size)
Percent (relative to current price)
Points (absolute price distance)
• Right-extension option
Keep gaps extended forward in time or limit them to the candles that created them.
Why This Indicator?
Many FVG indicators overwhelm the chart with zones from previous days or tiny imbalances that don’t matter.
This version keeps things clean, meaningful, and real-time accurate, ideal for day traders who rely on market structure and liquidity.
Arkham ORB Indicator 3.815-Minute ORB Breakout Indicator with Volume Confirmation & Dynamic Risk Management
This closed-source indicator identifies high-probability breakout opportunities during the New York session open (8:30-9:30 AM ET) using a systematic Opening Range Breakout methodology combined with volume validation and adaptive volatility-based risk management.
Core Methodology - How It Works
Opening Range Framework
The indicator establishes the Opening Range by tracking the high and low of the first 15 minutes of the trading session (8:30-8:45 AM ET). This range represents the initial price discovery zone where early participants establish equilibrium. Breakouts above the high or below the low signal potential directional moves as liquidity enters the market during the full NY session.
Volume-Based Breakout Validation
To distinguish genuine breakouts from false moves, the indicator employs a rolling volume analysis system. It calculates a 12-period median of volume and applies a 1.2x threshold multiplier. Only price movements accompanied by volume exceeding this threshold are flagged as valid breakout signals. This approach filters out low-conviction breakouts that often occur in choppy, low-participation conditions and significantly reduces false signals at ORB levels.
Adaptive Volatility-Based Stop Loss Calculation
Unlike fixed-point stop losses, this indicator uses a dynamic calculation based on a 10-day lookback of historical ORB ranges. The stop loss is derived by analyzing recent Opening Range sizes and applying a 0.5x multiplier to the average. This creates three key advantages:
Compression adaptation: When recent ORBs shrink (low volatility), stops automatically tighten to reduce risk exposure
Expansion adaptation: When recent ORBs expand (high volatility), stops widen to prevent premature exits on legitimate moves
Hybrid intelligence: The system detects outlier volatility days by comparing current ORB size to the 10-day average. When divergence exceeds 50%, it recognizes abnormal conditions and adjusts stop placement accordingly rather than blindly using historical averages
Multi-Entry Risk Framework
The indicator recognizes that different traders enter at different points relative to the ORB level. It provides simultaneous risk calculations for three entry strategies:
Direct ORB Entry (0-point offset): Immediate breakout entries at the ORB high/low
Pullback Entry 1 (default 5.5 points): Conservative entries waiting for initial retracements
Pullback Entry 2 (default 11.0 points): Deeper retest entries for very conservative approaches
Each entry type displays independently calculated metrics (stop loss distance, contract sizing, take profit levels) that account for the actual entry point's distance from the ORB level. This ensures accurate position sizing and risk/reward ratios regardless of which entry method you use.
Smart Volatility Detection & Alerts
The indicator continuously compares the current day's ORB size against the 10-day historical average. When divergence exceeds a configurable threshold (default 50%), it alerts you to abnormal market conditions:
Compression warnings: When today's ORB is 50%+ smaller than average (potential low-volatility trap)
Expansion warnings: When today's ORB is 50%+ larger than average (potential news event or unusual volatility)
This allows you to adjust expectations and position sizing based on whether current conditions match your backtested historical environment.
Risk Management Safeguards
Min/Max Stop Loss Caps
To prevent extreme stop placements in unusual conditions:
Minimum stop: 35 points (prevents overly tight stops that get hit by noise)
Maximum stop: 75 points (caps risk exposure during extreme volatility events)
Both caps are fully adjustable and can be toggled on/off
Contract Rounding & Risk Display
The indicator automatically rounds to whole contracts and displays real-time risk metrics including:
Suggested stop loss level (adjusted for entry offset + volatility)
Number of contracts (sized to your account risk parameters)
Suggested take profit level (maintains your configured risk/reward ratio)
Dollar risk and potential profit for each entry type
What Makes This Original
This indicator combines several methodological elements that work together as a cohesive risk management system:
Volume confirmation prevents trading every ORB breakout indiscriminately
Adaptive volatility stops ensure your risk scales with current market conditions, not fixed assumptions
Multi-entry framework provides accurate calculations for various entry styles without requiring separate indicators
Outlier detection warns when today's conditions deviate significantly from your backtested norms
Integrated position sizing removes the mental math from determining contracts and risk/reward
Rather than simply plotting ORB levels or using fixed stops, this system adapts to changing volatility while validating breakouts with participation metrics.
How to Use It
Apply to a 5-minute chart of futures instruments (optimized for MNQ/NQ)
Set your account risk parameters in settings (account size, risk per trade %)
Monitor the ORB formation period (8:30-8:45 AM ET) - levels will be drawn
Watch for breakout signals during 8:45-9:30 AM ET with volume confirmation
Choose your entry style from the three displayed options based on your risk tolerance
Use the suggested stops and targets from the real-time risk table
Pay attention to volatility warnings - adjust position sizing if conditions are abnormal
Fully Customizable Settings
All parameters used in the indicator's calculations are user-adjustable, allowing you to adapt the system to your trading style and risk tolerance:

QuantMotions - FVG with Volume TrackingFair Value Gap Detector with Dynamic Shrinking & Volume Analysis
Overview
Advanced Fair Value Gap (FVG) detection indicator with real-time box shrinking and volume delta analysis. Automatically identifies price inefficiencies and tracks institutional volume flow within each gap.
What are Fair Value Gaps?
Fair Value Gaps occur when price moves so rapidly that a "gap" is left between three consecutive candles, creating an inefficiency where no trading occurred. These gaps often act as support/resistance zones that price tends to revisit.
Detection:
- Bullish FVG: When low > high (upward price inefficiency)
- Bearish FVG: When high < low (downward price inefficiency)
Key Features
Dynamic Box Shrinking
FVG boxes automatically shrink as price enters them:
- Bullish FVGs shrink from top as price moves down into the gap
- Bearish FVGs shrink from bottom as price moves up into the gap
- Provides precise visualization of remaining unfilled gap area
Volume Delta Analysis
Tracks volume characteristics for the 3-candle FVG formation:
- Total Volume: Sum of volume from all three FVG candles
- Up/Down Split: Separates buying vs selling pressure
- Delta %: Shows directional bias of volume flow
- Color Coding: Green/Red when volume confirms direction, Orange when it doesn't
Smart Filtering
- ATR-based minimum gap size - Filters out insignificant noise gaps
- Auto-cleanup - Removes fully filled FVGs automatically
- Maximum display limit - Keeps charts clean by limiting visible FVGs
Live Statistics
Real-time stats table showing:
- Active bullish/bearish FVG count
- Average volume delta for each direction
- Fill progress tracking
Settings
Min Gap Size (ATR): Minimum gap size as multiple of ATR(14). Default: 0.3
- Lower values (0.1-0.3): More sensitive, shows smaller gaps
- Higher values (0.5-1.0): More selective, only significant gaps
Max FVGs: Maximum number of FVG boxes to display (5-100)
Remove Fully Filled: Automatically remove FVGs when price completely fills them
Shrink on Partial Fill: Enable dynamic box shrinking as price enters gaps
Show Volume Info: Display volume delta labels at box edges
How to Use
1. Confluence Trading: Look for FVGs that align with your support/resistance levels
2. Volume Confirmation: Check volume delta - strong directional volume increases probability
3. Partial Fills: Watch for price reactions at shrinking FVG boundaries
4. Multiple Timeframes: Use on higher timeframes (4H+) for swing trading, lower timeframes for scalping
Best Practices
- Combine with trend analysis - FVGs in trend direction have higher fill rates
- Pay attention to volume delta - gaps with confirming volume are more reliable
- Use on liquid markets for accurate volume data
- Higher timeframe FVGs typically carry more significance
Notes
- Works on all timeframes and instruments
- Volume data accuracy depends on your data provider
- FVGs are not guaranteed support/resistance - use proper risk management
- This indicator shows historical inefficiencies, not future predictions
Disclaimer: This indicator is for educational purposes only. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Always use proper risk management.
MTF FVG, OB & Sessions1. Advanced Multi-Timeframe Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
This is the most complex part of the script. Unlike standard FVG indicators that just draw boxes, this module uses Arrays to manage the gaps dynamically.
Dynamic Mitigation: The script tracks every FVG stored in memory. If price trades through an FVG (mitigates it), the script automatically deletes the box.
Option (Wick vs. Close): You can choose to delete the FVG as soon as a wick touches the other side, or only if a candle closes through it.
Displacement Filter: It uses an ATR (Average True Range) multiplier to ensure that only significant, impulsive moves (displacement) generate an FVG, filtering out low-volatility noise.
Confluence (Overlap) Logic: The script checks for overlaps between the three different timeframes (e.g., a 4H FVG inside a Daily FVG).
Alignment Setting: You can set the script to highlight specific boxes only when timeframes align, indicating a stronger level of interest.
3 Monitorable Timeframes: Defaults to 4-Hour, 1-Hour, and 15-Minute, but fully customizable.
2. Multi-Timeframe Order Blocks (OB)
This module identifies potential Order Blocks based on Swing Highs and Swing Lows (Pivot points).
Pivot Detection: It looks for a specific pattern of highs/lows (defined by the "Swing Lookback" input) to identify key reversal points on higher timeframes.
MTF Overlay: It fetches these structures from the 3 defined timeframes and projects them onto your current chart.
Visuals: Draws extended boxes representing the open/close range of the order block candle.
3. Session Liquidity (Highs & Lows)
This module tracks the specific trading sessions to highlight intraday liquidity pools.
Sessions Tracked: Asia, London, and New York.
Behavior:
While the session is active, it tracks the highest and lowest price.
Once the session closes, it draws dashed lines extending forward from that session's High and Low.
Purpose: These levels act as key targets for liquidity sweeps (e.g., price sweeping the London Low before reversing).
Technical Summary
Data Handling: Uses request.security with barmerge.lookahead_on to fetch data from higher timeframes without repainting historical closed bars.
Efficiency: Uses specific types (type OB_Data) and Arrays to handle data efficiently, keeping the script fast despite processing multiple timeframes simultaneously.
Limits: Includes a built-in "Max FVG Storage" and "Delete After X Bars" feature to prevent the chart from becoming too cluttered with old data.
30s Model IndicatorThe Model
The 30s model is a NASDAQ (NQ) scalping strategy based on entries within 30-second fair-value gaps (FVGs), formed after liquidity is taken on a higher timeframe.
What the Indicator Does
The indicator identifies liquidity sweeps: swing highs/lows with at least "Left Pivot" bars to the left, capturing at least one prior swing high/low.
It then detects if a 30s FVG formed within "FVG Distance from Swing" bars of the latest liquidity-taking swing high/low.
If found, it verifies the FVG meets the "Minimum FVG Size" and that forming candles didn't hit the take-profit level.
When conditions match, the FVG is highlighted with entry, take-profit, and stop-loss lines, plus optional price labels. The appearance of all the elements can be customized in the indicator settings.
You can also setup alerts on the indicator that will trigger whenever a valid 30s is formed.

Simple FVG - All GapsUser Guide: Trading with the Simple Fair Value Gap (FVG) Indicator
This document explains how to use the "Simple FVG" indicator to identify market inefficiencies and potential trading opportunities. This tool focuses exclusively on the concept of Fair Value Gaps (FVG) to provide clear, objective levels for entry and price targets.
The core function of this indicator is to visually highlight areas of market inefficiency—Fair Value Gaps—which often act as magnets for future price action, providing clear zones for potential trade entries.
Part 1: Understanding Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
A Fair Value Gap (FVG) is a three-candle pattern where the high of the first candle and the low of the third candle (or vice-versa) do not overlap. This gap represents an area where price moved quickly, indicating a potential imbalance between buyers and sellers.
Bullish FVG: These gaps are colored Green (default). They occur when the current low is higher than the high of the candle two bars prior.
Interpretation: Bullish FVGs act as potential support . Traders look for price to return to this zone to enter a long (buy) trade.
Bearish FVG: These gaps are colored Red (default). They occur when the current high is lower than the low of the candle two bars prior.
Interpretation: Bearish FVGs act as potential resistance . Traders look for price to return to this zone to enter a short (sell) trade.
Max FVG History: The indicator can display up to 500 of the most recent FVGs on your chart, ensuring you are focused on relevant, recent market structure.
Part 2: Mitigation and Gap Management
FVGs are considered "mitigated" when price re-enters the gap, effectively filling the market inefficiency. The indicator allows you to customize how this mitigation is defined.
Mitigation Type: This setting determines the condition under which an FVG is considered filled and changes color (or is hidden). You can select one of three options:
Touch: The FVG is mitigated when price simply touches the boundary of the gap.
Mid: The FVG is mitigated when price fills 50% of the gap (the default setting).
Full: The FVG is mitigated when price completely fills the entire gap.
Mitigated FVG Display: You can choose whether to display mitigated FVGs.
Show Mitigated FVG: If enabled, mitigated gaps will change color to Gray (default).
Hide Mitigated FVG: If disabled, the gap will disappear from the chart once the mitigation condition is met.
Part 3: Visual Extension Settings
The indicator allows you to control how long the FVG box is drawn on the chart.
Extension Type:
Indefinite: The FVG box will extend to the right until it is mitigated.
Fixed Bars: The FVG box will only extend for a set number of bars, defined by the Extension Bars setting. Note: Even if the visual box disappears, the FVG is still considered active until it is mitigated.
Extension Bars: Sets the number of bars (default is 5) for the visual extension when Fixed Bars is selected.
Trading Strategy Flow with FVG
Identify: Look for a fresh, unmitigated Bullish (Green) or Bearish (Red) FVG.
Wait for Return: Wait for the price to return to the FVG zone.
Execute Trade:
For a Long Trade: Enter when price touches the FVG (ideally at the Mid level) and shows a rejection or reversal pattern.
For a Short Trade: Enter when price touches the FVG (ideally at the Mid level) and shows a rejection or reversal pattern.
Set Stop-Loss: Place your Stop-Loss just outside the FVG zone, or beyond the distal end of the gap.
Set Take-Profit: Target the next major market structure point or the next unmitigated FVG in the direction of your trade.
Disclaimer: Trading involves risk. This indicator is a tool for analysis and does not guarantee profits. Always use proper risk management.

ID Candle Body % Star Rating + SMC ToolkitThis tool combines strong-body candle detection, trend analysis, SMC-based setups, session levels, VWAP, Donchian Channels and live alerts. It’s built to help you read momentum, structure and volatility on any intraday chart.
1. Strong Body Candle Detection
The script highlights candles with exceptional bodies using three conditions:
• Body is larger than the previous five candles
• Body makes up more than 85% of the entire candle
• Both conditions happening at the same time
These signals help you spot strength or exhaustion in real time.
2. EMA Trend Layer
Three EMAs (50/100/200 by default) plot the overall trend.
When enabled, the area between the fast and slow EMAs fills with a soft color to show bullish or bearish bias at a glance.
3. Bullish and Bearish Setup (ICT-style patterns)
The indicator marks classic two-candle continuation setups:
• Bullish setup with a break above the previous high and an FVG
• Bearish setup with a break below the previous low and an FVG
You can also enable “low break” and “high break” variations to track liquidity sweeps.
Each setup has its own alert option.
4. Four Key Market Sessions
The script plots Asia Open, Midnight Open, London Open and New York Open.
Each session shows:
• A real-time box
• High, low and midpoint
• Optional extended lines projecting forward
These levels often act as reaction zones on lower timeframes.
5. VWAP With Optional Bands
You can anchor VWAP to the session, week, month, quarter or year.
Bands can be calculated using standard deviation or a percentage.
There’s also an option to hide VWAP on higher timeframes.
6. Donchian Channel
A classic 20-period DC is included to provide an additional structure reference for breakouts and trend ranges.
7. Real-Time Alerts
Alerts trigger only once per bar and cover:
• Bullish setup
• Bearish setup
• Liquidity sweep variations
• VWAP star-rating (if enabled in the code block)
Great for traders who monitor multiple pairs.
FVG Snper PRO🎯 FVG Sniper — Fair Value Gap Signal Engine
FVG Sniper is a professional imbalance-based entry tool built around the Nasdaq futures (NQ/MNQ) — but the signal logic is general enough to apply to many liquid instruments (indices, FX, crypto, metals).
It automatically detects Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), tracks their lifecycle, and fires rule-based long/short signals only when price shows decisive intent away from those imbalances.
🔍 What FVG Sniper Does
Detects FVGs automatically (no pivots)
Uses a strict 3-candle pattern to locate bullish and bearish imbalances directly from price action.
Tracks each FVG over time
For every FVG, FVG Sniper tracks:
When it was created
Whether it has ever been tapped
Whether it has been tapped since the last trade
Whether it has been invalidated (“inversion close”)
Session-gated execution
FVGs can be formed and tapped any time.
Only bars inside a defined signal session (e.g. 09:30–12:00 New York time) are allowed to trigger entries.
FVGs are only eligible if they were created on the same trading day as the signal and after a specific time cutoff (e.g. 08:30 ET).
Tap-aware, breakout-based entries
The indicator looks for:
An FVG that has been tapped at least once since the last signal (if tap is required).
A decisive breakout of the previous bar’s high or low coming off that FVG.
Multi-strategy overlay (for advanced use)
On top of the core engine, FVG Sniper offers several optional “Sniper profiles” (strategies) tuned around:
Session timing (e.g. morning / midday windows)
Volatility regimes
Lane cleanliness / opposite-side structure behavior
Range context (distance from session extremes)
You can toggle these profiles on/off to restrict signals to specific conditions — but the exact internal filters and thresholds are not disclosed.
If at least one profile is enabled, a signal prints when any enabled profile likes the setup.
If no profiles are enabled, FVG Sniper shows the raw base FVG breakout signals from the core engine.
🧠 How to Use It
Primary use case: intraday futures (NQ/MNQ) on 1M timeframe.
FVG Sniper works best as:
A signal engine feeding your execution plans, or
A confirmation layer on top of your own context (HTF bias, news, higher-timeframe levels, etc.).
🎨 Visuals & Controls
Bullish and bearish FVG zones are drawn directly on the chart.
Optional mid-lines through each FVG.
Automatic delete or “fade” behavior when FVGs are invalidated.
Clear long/short markers at the signal bar.
Optional debug label to inspect which FVG produced the signal and key reference times.

Effort HeatmapThe Effort Heatmap visualizes where meaningful, same-direction volume occurred inside an imbalance during strong directional movement.
Instead of analyzing total bar volume or traditional volume-at-price distributions, this tool reconstructs a simplified internal volume profile using lower-timeframe data.
When a Fair Value Gap forms during a high-volume displacement, the script highlights the portions of the imbalance candle where directional effort was concentrated and projects those regions forward as a heatmap.
The purpose of this indicator is not to predict price or represent institutional activity, but to offer a visual way to study how the market delivered volume inside a move that created an imbalance.
How It Works
1. Lower-Timeframe Volume Extraction
The indicator retrieves open, close, and volume data from a selected lower timeframe.
Only sub-candles that move in the same direction as the previous bar are considered, ensuring the heatmap reflects directional effort—not mixed volume.
2. Candle Body Binning
The FVG candle is divided into multiple horizontal bins.
Each lower-timeframe sub-candle contributes volume proportionally to the bins it overlaps, creating a vertical volume distribution for that bar.
3. Imbalance (FVG) Detection
A simple 3-bar displacement logic detects bullish or bearish imbalances.
An optional Z-Score filter ensures the heatmap only forms when volume is relatively elevated compared to recent history.
4. Heatmap Projection
When a qualifying imbalance occurs:
• The FVG bar’s volume distribution is normalized
• Only areas with relatively elevated volume are displayed
• Colored heatmap boxes are created and extend forward
• These boxes remain until price trades into or through them
This allows traders to observe how price interacts with past zones of concentrated directional effort.
What Makes It Different
Most volume tools focus on fixed session profiles, market-wide volume-at-price calculations, or bar-level volume totals.
The Effort Heatmap instead reconstructs a per-bar vertical volume distribution using lower-timeframe price action and displays it only when displacement occurs.
Rather than treating the candle as a single block of volume, the indicator highlights where inside the candle body volume was delivered while moving in the displacement direction.
This creates a unique visualization of directional effort that conventional profiles, OB/FVG indicators, and classic oscillators do not show.
How to Use It
1. Apply to any timeframe: The indicator works on all chart timeframes, but gains more detail when higher timeframes are used in combination with lower-timeframe volume data.
2. Identify displacement moments: When a bullish or bearish FVG forms with a high volume Z-Score, the heatmap will appear.
3. Observe the heatmap structure:
Each horizontal band represents the relative concentration of same-direction volume inside the previous candle.
4. Watch how price interacts with these zones:
Heatmap areas extend until price touches or trades through them, at which point they stop extending and are finalized.
5. Combine with your own analysis:
These areas can be used to study...
...how past directional volume clusters influence current movement
...structural reactions to zones of prior effort
...which parts of a displacement candle were most active
The indicator is a visual study tool, not a signal generator.
Settings
• Volume Source Timeframe
Chooses the lower timeframe used to reconstruct internal volume. Smaller timeframes give more detail; larger timeframes give smoother profiles.
• Z-Score Lookback
Controls how many bars are used to measure relative volume. Larger values make the volume filter stricter.
• Z-Score Threshold
Minimum relative-volume strength required to draw a heatmap. Higher values show only high-effort moves.
• Volume Filter (%)
Removes weaker bins based on how much volume they contain compared to the strongest one. Higher percentages = fewer but more meaningful zones.
• Bullish / Bearish Colors
Sets the base color for heatmap boxes depending on direction.

Smart VWAP FVG SystemSmart VWAP FVG System - Professional Multi-Filter Trading Indicator
📊 OVERVIEW
The Smart VWAP FVG System is an advanced multi-layered trading indicator that combines institutional volume analysis, multi-timeframe VWAP trend confirmation, and Fair Value Gap detection to identify high-probability trade entries. This indicator uses a sophisticated filtering mechanism where signals appear only when multiple independent confirmation criteria align simultaneously.
Recommended Timeframe: 5-minute (M5) or higher. The indicator works best on M5, M15, and M30 charts for intraday trading.
🎯 ORIGINALITY & PURPOSE
This indicator is original because it combines three distinct analytical methods into a unified decision-making system:
Market Profile Volume Analysis - Identifies institutional accumulation/distribution zones
Dual VWAP Filtering - Confirms trend direction using two independent VWAP calculations
Fair Value Gap Detection - Validates institutional interest through price inefficiency zones
The key innovation is the directional filter system: the primary Market Profile generates BUY-ONLY or SELL-ONLY states based on higher timeframe value area reversals, which then controls which signals from the main system are displayed. This creates a multi-timeframe confluence that significantly reduces false signals.
Unlike simple indicator mashups, each component serves a specific purpose:
Market Profile → Direction bias (trend filter)
Primary VWAP (Session) → Short-term trend confirmation
Secondary VWAP (Week) → Medium-term trend confirmation
FVG Detection → Institutional activity validation
🔧 HOW IT WORKS
1. Primary Market Profile Filter (Higher Timeframe)
The indicator calculates Market Profile on a higher timeframe (default: 1 hour) to determine the overall market structure:
Value Area High (VAH): Top 70% of volume distribution
Value Area Low (VAL): Bottom 70% of volume distribution
Point of Control (POC): Price level with highest volume
When price reaches VAH and reverses down → SELL-ONLY mode activated
When price reaches VAL and reverses up → BUY-ONLY mode activated
This higher timeframe filter ensures you're trading in the direction of institutional flow.
2. Dual VWAP System
Two independent VWAP calculations provide multi-timeframe trend confirmation:
Primary VWAP (Session-based): Resets daily, tracks intraday momentum
Secondary VWAP (Week-based): Resets weekly, confirms longer-term trend
Filter Logic:
BUY signals require: Price > Primary VWAP AND Price > Secondary VWAP
SELL signals require: Price < Primary VWAP AND Price < Secondary VWAP
This dual confirmation prevents counter-trend trades during ranging conditions.
3. Fair Value Gap (FVG) Detection
FVG zones identify price inefficiencies where institutional orders were executed rapidly:
Bullish FVG: Gap between candle .high and candle .low (upward imbalance)
Bearish FVG: Gap between candle .high and candle .low (downward imbalance)
The indicator monitors recent FVG formation (lookback: 50 bars) and requires:
Bullish FVG present for BUY signals
Bearish FVG present for SELL signals
FVG zones are displayed as colored boxes and automatically marked as "mitigated" when price fills the gap.
4. Main Trading Signal Logic
The secondary Market Profile (default: 1 hour) generates the actual trading signals:
BUY Signal Conditions:
Price reaches Value Area Low
Reversal pattern confirmed (minimum 1 bar)
Price > Primary VWAP
Price > Secondary VWAP (if filter enabled)
Recent Bullish FVG detected (if filter enabled)
Primary MP Filter = BUY-ONLY or NEUTRAL
SELL Signal Conditions:
Price reaches Value Area High
Reversal pattern confirmed (minimum 1 bar)
Price < Primary VWAP
Price < Secondary VWAP (if filter enabled)
Recent Bearish FVG detected (if filter enabled)
Primary MP Filter = SELL-ONLY or NEUTRAL
All conditions must be TRUE simultaneously for a signal to appear.

⚠️ IMPORTANT WARNINGS & LIMITATIONS
1. Repainting Behavior
CRITICAL: This indicator uses lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_on to access higher timeframe data immediately for FVG detection. This is necessary to provide real-time FVG zone visualization but has the following implications:
FVG zones may shift slightly until the higher timeframe candle closes
FVG detection signals are preliminary until HTF bar confirmation
The main trading signals (triangles) appear on confirmed bars and do not repaint
Best Practice: Always wait for the current timeframe bar to close before acting on signals. The filter status and FVG zones are informational but may adjust as new data arrives.
2. Minimum Timeframe
Do NOT use on timeframes below 5 minutes (M5)
Recommended: M5, M15, M30 for intraday trading
Higher timeframes (H1, H4) can also be used but will generate fewer signals
3. Multiple Filters Can Block Signals
By design, this indicator is conservative. When all filters are enabled:
Signals appear ONLY when all conditions align
You may see extended periods with no signals
This is intentional to reduce false positives
If you see no signals:
Check the Info Panel to see which filters are failing
Consider adjusting FVG lookback period
Temporarily disable FVG filter to test
Verify VWAP filters match current market trend
4. Market Profile Limitations
Market Profile requires sufficient volume data
Low-volume instruments may produce unreliable profiles
Value Areas update only on higher timeframe bar close
Works best on liquid markets (major forex pairs, indices, crypto)
📖 HOW TO USE
Step 1: Add to Chart
Apply indicator to M5 or higher timeframe chart
Ensure chart shows volume data
Use standard candles (NOT Heikin Ashi, Renko, etc.)
Step 2: Configure Settings
Primary MP Filter TF: Set to 60 (1 hour) minimum, or 240 (4 hour) for swing trading
Main MP TF: Set to 60 (1 hour) for intraday signals
FVG Timeframe: Match or exceed main MP timeframe
Leave other settings at default initially
Step 3: Understand the Info Panel
Monitor the top-right panel:
FILTER STATUS: Shows current directional bias
NEUTRAL = Both signals allowed
BUY ONLY = Only green triangles will appear
SELL ONLY = Only red triangles will appear
FVG Filter: Shows if bullish/bearish gaps detected recently
VWAP positions: Confirms trend alignment
Step 4: Take Signals
For BUY Signal (Green Triangle ▲):
Wait for green triangle to appear
Check Info Panel shows ✓ for BUY signals
Confirm current bar has closed
Enter long position
Stop loss: Below recent VAL or swing low
Target: Previous Value Area High or 1.5-2× risk
For SELL Signal (Red Triangle ▼):
Wait for red triangle to appear
Check Info Panel shows ✓ for SELL signals
Confirm current bar has closed
Enter short position
Stop loss: Above recent VAH or swing high
Target: Previous Value Area Low or 1.5-2× risk
Step 5: Risk Management
Risk per trade: Maximum 1-2% of account equity
Position sizing: Adjust based on stop loss distance
Avoid trading: During major news events or time filter periods
Multiple confirmations: Look for confluence with price action (support/resistance, trendlines)
🎓 UNDERLYING CONCEPTS
Market Profile Theory
Developed by J. Peter Steidlmayer in the 1980s, Market Profile organizes price and volume data to identify:
Value Areas: Where 70% of trading activity occurred
POC: Price level with highest acceptance (most volume)
Imbalances: When price moves away from value quickly
This indicator uses TPO (Time Price Opportunity) calculation method to build the volume profile distribution.
VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price)
VWAP represents the average price weighted by volume, showing where institutional traders are positioned:
Price above VWAP = Bullish (institutions accumulated lower)
Price below VWAP = Bearish (institutions distributed higher)
Using dual VWAP (Session + Week) creates multi-timeframe trend alignment.
Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
Also known as "imbalance" or "inefficiency," FVG occurs when:
Price moves so rapidly that a gap forms in the candlestick structure
Indicates institutional order flow (large market orders)
Price often returns to "fill" these gaps (rebalance)
The 3-candle FVG pattern (gap between candle and candle ) is widely used in ICT (Inner Circle Trader) methodology and Smart Money Concepts.

Quantura - Fair Value GapIntroduction
“Quantura – Fair Value Gap” is a precision-engineered institutional concept indicator designed to automatically identify, visualize, and manage Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) across any market or timeframe. It enables traders to observe price inefficiencies, potential liquidity voids, and retracement areas that often act as magnets for price rebalancing.
Originality & Value
Unlike many public FVG scripts that only highlight candle gaps, this indicator integrates dynamic filters and adaptive logic to determine the strength and reliability of each gap. It merges overlapping zones intelligently and optionally extends valid imbalances forward for ongoing reference.
Its value lies in:
Dynamic statistical filtering based on gap standard deviation.
Optional volume confirmation for high-confidence FVGs.
Automatic merging of overlapping or adjacent gaps for clean visualization.
Support for both bullish and bearish imbalances.
Signal alerts when gaps are filled or rebalanced by price.
Functionality & Core Logic
Detects Fair Value Gaps by comparing candle-to-candle price displacement.
Applies a Gap Filter (standard deviation-based) to qualify valid gaps.
Optionally validates gaps formed under significant volume conditions.
Draws color-coded boxes to mark bullish (discount) and bearish (premium) inefficiencies.
Monitors each FVG until price fills the gap, at which point the box is visually closed.
Provides optional signal markers (“▲” or “▼”) when rebalancing occurs.
Parameters & Customization
Gap Filter: Sets the minimum statistical deviation required for a valid FVG. Higher values detect fewer, stronger gaps.
Volume Filter: Toggles additional validation using relative volume strength.
Volume Sensitivity: Adjusts how much above-average volume must be present to confirm a gap.
Bullish/Bearish Colors: Customize color schemes for imbalance zones.
Extend Gaps: Optionally extend open gaps forward for better confluence tracking.
Signals: Enables or disables gap-fill signal markers.
Visualization & Display
Bullish FVGs: Appear in blue-tinted boxes, indicating potential demand-side inefficiencies.
Bearish FVGs: Appear in red-tinted boxes, representing potential supply-side inefficiencies.
Overlapping zones are merged automatically to maintain clarity.
Filled gaps remain visible for historical context, allowing for post-event analysis.
Optional signal arrows display when price returns to rebalance an FVG.
Use Cases
Identify institutional inefficiencies and liquidity voids.
Detect premium and discount levels in trending markets.
Combine with market structure or order block indicators for confluence.
Track when price rebalances inefficiencies to refine entry/exit points.
Build FVG-based algorithmic strategies that rely on structural imbalance resolution.
Limitations & Recommendations
The indicator detects structural imbalances but does not predict future direction or guarantee profitability.
Volume filters may behave differently across brokers due to data-source differences.
Use alongside structure or liquidity tools for enhanced decision-making.
Extreme volatility or illiquid assets may generate temporary invalid gaps.
Markets & Timeframes
Compatible with all markets (crypto, forex, equities, indices, futures) and all timeframes. Recommended for multi-timeframe confluence analysis — e.g., detecting higher-timeframe FVGs and refining lower-timeframe entries.

Quantura - Quantified Price Action StrategyIntroduction
“Quantura – Quantified Price Action Strategy” is an invite-only Pine Script strategy designed to combine multiple price action concepts into a single trading framework. It integrates supply and demand zones, liquidity sweeps and runs, fair value gaps (FVGs), RSI filters, and EMA trend confirmation. The strategy also provides a visual overlay with dynamic trend-colored candles for easier chart interpretation. It is intended for multi-market use across cryptocurrencies, Forex, equities, and indices.
Originality & Value
The strategy is original in how it unifies several institutional-style price action elements and validates trades only when they align. This reduces noise compared to using single indicators in isolation. Its unique value lies in the combination of:
Supply & Demand detection: Dynamic boxes identified through pivots, ATR, and volume sensitivity.
Liquidity sweeps and runs: Detects when swing highs/lows are broken and retested, distinguishing between liquidity grabs (sweeps) and directional runs.
RSI filter: Can be set to normal or aggressive, confirming momentum before trades.
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs): Optional detection and filtering of price inefficiencies.
EMA filter: Aligns trades with the broader market trend.
Trend candle visualization: Candles dynamically colored bullish, bearish, or neutral, based on strategy positions.
This layered confluence approach ensures that entries are not taken on a single condition but require agreement across several dimensions of market structure, momentum, and order flow.
Functionality & Indicators
Supply & Demand Zones: Zones are created when pivots, ATR sensitivity, and volume thresholds overlap.
Liquidity: Swing highs and lows are tracked, with options for sweep (fakeout/reversal) or run (continuation) detection.
RSI: Confirms long signals when oversold and shorts when overbought, with configurable aggressiveness.
FVG filter: Adds validation by requiring price interaction with inefficiency zones.
EMA filter: Ensures longs are above EMA and shorts below EMA.
Signals & Visualization: Trade entries are marked on the chart, while candles change color to reflect trade direction and status.
Parameters & Customization
Supply & Demand: Sensitivity (swing range, volume multiplier, ATR multiplier) and display options.
Liquidity filter: Mode (Run or Sweep), display, and swing length.
RSI: Enable/disable, length, and style (normal or aggressive).
Fair Value Gaps: Sensitivity via ATR factor, optional volume filter, and display toggles.
EMA: Length, enable/disable, and visualization.
Risk management: Up to three configurable take-profit levels, stop-loss, break-even logic, and capital-based position sizing.
Visualization: Custom candle coloring and optional overlay for better clarity.
Default Properties (Strategy Settings)
Initial Capital: 10,000 USD
Position Size: 100% of equity per trade (backtest default)
Commission: 0.1%
Slippage: 1
Pyramiding: 0 (only one position at a time)
Note: The default of 100% equity per trade is used for testing purposes only and would not be sustainable in real trading. A typical allocation in practice would be between 1–5% of account equity per trade, sometimes up to 10%.
Backtesting & Performance
Backtests on XPTUSD over 2.5 years with the default settings produced:
164 trades
67.68% win rate
Profit factor: 1.7
Maximum drawdown: 27.81%
These results show how the confluence of supply/demand, liquidity, and RSI filters can produce robust setups. However, past performance does not guarantee future results. While the trade count (164) is sufficient for statistical analysis, results may vary across markets and timeframes.
Risk Management
Three configurable take-profit levels with percentage allocation.
Initial stop-loss based on user-defined percentage.
Dynamic stop-loss that adjusts with market movement.
Break-even logic that shifts stops to entry after predefined gains.
Position sizing based on risk percentage of equity.
This framework allows both conservative and aggressive configurations, depending on user preference.
Limitations & Market Conditions
Works best in volatile and liquid markets such as crypto, metals, indices, and FX.
May produce false signals in low-volume or sideways environments.
Unexpected news or macro events can override technical conditions.
Default position sizing of 100% equity is highly aggressive and should be reduced before any practical use.
Usage Guide
Add “Quantura – Quantified Price Action Strategy” to your chart.
Select Supply & Demand, Liquidity, RSI, EMA, and FVG settings according to your market and timeframe.
Configure risk management: take-profits, stop-loss, and risk-per-trade percentage.
Use the Strategy Tester to analyze statistics, equity curve, and performance under different conditions.
Optimize parameters before applying the strategy to different markets.

Smart Money Flow Index (SMFI) - Advanced SMC [PhenLabs]📊Smart Money Flow Index (SMFI)
Version: PineScript™v6
📌Description
The Smart Money Flow Index (SMFI) is an advanced Smart Money Concepts implementation that tracks institutional trading behavior through multi-dimensional analysis. This comprehensive indicator combines volume-validated Order Block detection, Fair Value Gap identification with auto-mitigation tracking, dynamic Liquidity Zone mapping, and Break of Structure/Change of Character detection into a unified system.
Unlike basic SMC indicators, SMFI employs a proprietary scoring algorithm that weighs five critical factors: Order Block strength (validated by volume), Fair Value Gap size and recency, proximity to Liquidity Zones, market structure alignment (BOS/CHoCH), and multi-timeframe confluence. This produces a Smart Money Score (0-100) where readings above 70 represent optimal institutional setup conditions.
🚀Points of Innovation
Volume-Validated Order Block Detection – Only displays Order Blocks when formation candle exceeds customizable volume multiplier (default 1.5x average), filtering weak zones and highlighting true institutional accumulation/distribution
Auto-Mitigation Tracking System – Fair Value Gaps and Order Blocks automatically update status when price mitigates them, with visual distinction between active and filled zones preventing trades on dead levels
Proprietary Smart Money Score Algorithm – Combines weighted factors (OB strength 25%, FVG proximity 20%, Liquidity 20%, Structure 20%, MTF 15%) into single 0-100 confidence rating updating in real-time
ATR-Based Adaptive Calculations – All distance measurements use 14-period Average True Range ensuring consistent function across any instrument, timeframe, or volatility regime without manual recalibration
Dynamic Age Filtering – Automatically removes liquidity levels and FVGs older than configurable thresholds preventing chart clutter while maintaining relevant levels
Multi-Timeframe Confluence Integration – Analyzes higher timeframe bias with customizable multipliers (2-10x) and incorporates HTF trend direction into Smart Money Score for institutional alignment
🔧Core Components
Order Block Engine – Detects institutional supply/demand zones using characteristic patterns (down-move-then-strong-up for bullish, up-move-then-strong-down for bearish) with minimum volume threshold validation, tracks mitigation when price closes through zones
Fair Value Gap Scanner – Identifies price imbalances where current candle's low/high leaves gap with two-candle-prior high/low, filters by minimum size percentage, monitors 50% fill for mitigation status
Liquidity Zone Mapper – Uses pivot high/low detection with configurable lookback to mark swing points where stop losses cluster, extends horizontal lines to visualize sweep targets, manages lifecycle through age-based removal
Market Structure Analyzer – Tracks pivot progression to identify trend through higher-highs/higher-lows (bullish) or lower-highs/lower-lows (bearish), detects Break of Structure and Change of Character for trend/reversal confirmation
Scoring Calculation Engine – Evaluates proximity to nearest Order Blocks using ATR-normalized distance, assesses FVG recency and distance, calculates liquidity proximity with age weighting, combines structure bias and MTF trend into smoothed final score
🔥Key Features
Customizable Display Limits – Control maximum Order Blocks (1-10), Liquidity Zones (1-10), and FVG age (10-200 bars) to maintain clean charts focused on most relevant institutional levels
Gradient Strength Visualization – All zones render with transparency-adjustable coloring where stronger/newer zones appear more solid and weaker/older zones fade progressively providing instant visual hierarchy
Educational Label System – Optional labels identify each zone type (Bullish OB, Bearish OB, Bullish FVG, Bearish FVG, BOS) with color-coded text helping traders learn SMC concepts through practical application
Real-Time Smart Money Score Dashboard – Top-right table displays current score (0-100) with color coding (green >70, yellow 30-70, red <30) plus trend arrow for at-a-glance confidence assessment
Comprehensive Alert Suite – Configurable notifications for Order Block formation, Fair Value Gap detection, Break of Structure events, Change of Character signals, and high Smart Money Score readings (>70)
Buy/Sell Signal Integration – Automatically plots triangle markers when Smart Money Score exceeds 70 with aligned market structure and fresh Order Block detection providing clear entry signals
🎨Visualization
Order Block Boxes – Shaded rectangles extend from formation bar spanning high-to-low of institutional candle, bullish zones in green, bearish in red, with customizable transparency (80-98%)
Fair Value Gap Zones – Rectangular areas marking imbalances, active FVGs display in bright colors with adjustable transparency, mitigated FVGs switch to gray preventing trades on filled zones
Liquidity Level Lines – Dashed horizontal lines extend from pivot creation points, swing highs in bearish color (short targets above), swing lows in bullish color (long targets below), opacity decreases with age
Structure Labels – "BOS" labels appear above/below price when Break of Structure confirmed, colored by direction (green bullish, red bearish), positioned at 1% beyond highs/lows for visibility
Educational Info Panel – Bottom-right table explains key terminology (OB, FVG, BOS, CHoCH) and score interpretation (>70 high probability) with semi-transparent background for readability

✅Best Use Cases
Order Block Retest Entries – After Break of Structure, wait for price retrace into fresh bullish Order Block with Smart Money Score >70, enter long on zone reaction targeting next liquidity level
Fair Value Gap Retracement Trading – When price creates FVG during strong move then retraces, enter as price approaches unfilled gap expecting institutional orders to continue trend
Liquidity Sweep Reversals – Monitor price approaching swing high/low liquidity zones against prevailing Smart Money Score trend, after stop hunt sweep watch for rejection into premium Order Block/FVG
Multi-Timeframe Confluence Setups – Identify alignment when current timeframe Order Block coincides with higher timeframe FVG plus MTF analysis showing matching trend bias
Break of Structure Continuations – After BOS confirms trend direction, trade pullbacks to nearest Order Block or FVG in direction of structure break using Smart Money Score >70 as entry filter
Change of Character Reversal Plays – When CHoCH detected indicating potential reversal, look for Smart Money Score pivot with opposing Order Block formation then enter on structure confirmation
⚠️Limitations
Lagging Pivot Calculations – Pivot-based features (Liquidity Zones, Market Structure) require bars to right of pivot for confirmation, meaning these elements identify levels retrospectively with delay equal to lookback period
Whipsaw in Ranging Markets – During choppy conditions, Order Blocks fail frequently and structure breaks produce false signals as Smart Money Score fluctuates without clear institutional bias, best used in trending markets
Volume Data Dependency – Order Block volume validation requires accurate volume data which may be incomplete on Forex pairs or limited in crypto exchange feeds
Subjectivity in Scoring Weights – Proprietary 25-20-20-20-15 weighting reflects general institutional behavior but may not optimize for specific instruments or market regimes, user cannot adjust factor weights
Visual Complexity on Lower Timeframes – Sub-hour timeframes generate excessive zones creating cluttered charts, requires aggressive display limit reduction and higher minimum thresholds
No Fundamental Integration – Indicator analyzes purely technical price action and volume without incorporating economic events, news catalysts, or fundamental shifts that override technical levels
💡What Makes This Unique
Unified SMC Ecosystem – Unlike indicators displaying Order Blocks OR FVGs OR Liquidity separately, SMFI combines all three institutional concepts plus market structure into single cohesive system
Proprietary Confidence Scoring – Rather than manual setup assessment, automated Smart Money Score quantifies probability by weighting five institutional dimensions into actionable 0-100 rating
Volume-Filtered Quality – Eliminates weak Order Blocks forming without institutional volume confirmation, ensuring displayed zones represent genuine accumulation/distribution
Adaptive Lifecycle Management – Automatically updates mitigation status and removes aged zones preventing trades on dead levels through continuous validity and age monitoring
Educational Integration – Built-in tooltips, labeled zones, and reference panel make indicator functional for both learning Smart Money Concepts and executing strategies
🔬How It Works
Order Block Detection – Scans for patterns where strong directional move follows counter-move creating last down-candle before rally (bullish OB) or last up-candle before sell-off (bearish OB), validates formations only when candle exhibits volume exceeding configurable multiple (default 1.5x) of 20-bar average volume
Fair Value Gap Identification – Compares current candle’s high/low against two-candles-prior low/high to detect price imbalances, calculates gap size as percentage of close and filters micro-gaps below minimum threshold (default 0.3%), monitors whether subsequent price fills 50% triggering mitigation status
Liquidity Zone Mapping – Employs pivot detection using configurable lookback (default 50 bars) to identify swing highs/lows where retail stops cluster, extends horizontal reference lines from pivot creation and applies age-based filtering to remove stale zones
Market Structure Analysis – Tracks pivot progression using structure-specific lookback (default 5 bars) to determine trend, confirms uptrend when new pivot high exceeds previous by minimum move percentage, detects Break of Structure when price breaks recent pivot level, flags Change of Character for potential reversals
Multi-Timeframe Confluence – When enabled, requests security data from higher timeframe (current TF × HTF multiplier, default 4x), compares HTF close against HTF 20-period MA to determine bias, contributes ±50 points to score ensuring alignment with institutional positioning on superior timeframe
Smart Money Score Calculation – Evaluates Order Block component via ATR-normalized distance producing max 100-point contribution weighted at 25%, assesses FVG factor through age penalty and distance at 20% weight, calculates Liquidity proximity at 20%, incorporates structure bias (±50-100 points) at 20%, adds MTF component at 15%, applies 3-period smoothing to reduce volatility
Visual Rendering and Lifecycle – Draws Order Block boxes, Fair Value Gap rectangles with color coding (green/red active, gray mitigated), extends liquidity dashed lines with fade-by-age opacity, plots BOS labels, displays Smart Money Score dashboard, continuously updates checking mitigation conditions and removing elements exceeding age/display limits
💡Note:
The Smart Money Flow Index combines multiple Smart Money Concepts into unified institutional order flow analysis. For optimal results, use the Smart Money Score as confluence filter rather than standalone entry signal – scores above 70 indicate high-probability setups but should be combined with risk management, higher timeframe bias, and market regime understanding.
FVG MagicFVG Magic — Fair Value Gaps with Smart Mitigation, Inversion & Auto-Clean-up
FVG Magic finds every tradable Fair Value Gap (FVG), shows who powered it, and then manages each gap intelligently as price interacts with it—so your chart stays actionable and clean.
Attribution
This tool is inspired by the idea popularized in “Volumatic Fair Value Gaps ” by BigBeluga (licensed CC BY-NC-SA 4.0). Credit to BigBeluga for advancing FVG visualization in the community.
Important: This is a from-scratch implementation—no code was copied from the original. I expanded the concept substantially with a different detection stack, a gap state machine (ACTIVE → 50% SQ → MITIGATED → INVERSED), auto-clean up rules, lookback/nearest-per-side pruning, zoom-proof volume meters, and timeframe auto-tuning for 15m/H1/H4.
What makes this version more accurate
Full-coverage detection (no “missed” gaps)
Default ICT-minimal rule (Bullish: low > high , Bearish: high < low ) catches all valid 3-candle FVGs.
Optional Strict filter (stricter structure checks) for traders who prefer only “clean” gaps.
Optional size percentile filter—off by default so nothing is hidden unless you choose to filter.
Correct handling of confirmations (wick vs close)
Mitigation Source is user-selectable: high/low (wick-based) or close (strict).
This avoids false “misses” when you expect wick confirmations (50% or full fill) but your logic required closes.
State-aware labelling to prevent misleading data
The Bull%/Bear% meter is shown only while a gap is ACTIVE.
As soon as a gap is 50% SQ, MITIGATED, or INVERSED, the meter is hidden and replaced with a clear tag—so you never read stale participation stats.
Robust zoom behaviour
The meter uses a fixed bar-width (not pixels), so it stays proportional and readable at any zoom level.
Deterministic lifecycle (no stale boxes)
Remove on 50% SQ (instant or delayed).
Inversion window after first entry: if price enters but doesn’t invert within N bars, the box auto-removes once fully filled.
Inversion clean up: after a confirmed flip, keep for N bars (context) then delete (or 0 = immediate).
Result: charts auto-maintain themselves and never “lie” about relevance.
Clarity near current price
Nearest-per-side (keep N closest bullish & bearish gaps by distance to the midpoint) focuses attention where it matters without altering detection accuracy.
Lookback (bars) ensures reproducible behaviour across accounts with different data history.
Timeframe-aware defaults
Sensible auto-tuning for 15m / H1 / H4 (right-extension length, meter width, inversion windows, clean up bars) to reduce setup friction and improve consistency.
What it does (under the hood)
Detects FVGs using ICT-minimal (default) or a stricter rule.
Samples volume from a 10× lower timeframe to split participation into Bull % / Bear % (sum = 100%).
Manages each gap through a state machine:
ACTIVE → 50% SQ (midline) → MITIGATED (full) → INVERSED (SR flip after fill).
Auto-clean up keeps only relevant levels, per your rules.
Dashboard (top-right) displays counts by side and the active state tags.
How to use it
First run (show everything)
Use Strict FVG Filter: OFF
Enable Size Filter (percentile): OFF
Mitigation Source: high/low (wick-based) or close (stricter), as you prefer.
Remove on 50% SQ: ON, Delay: 0
Read the context
While ACTIVE, use the Bull%/Bear% meter to gauge demand/supply behind the impulse that created the gap.
Confluence with your HTF structure, sessions, VWAP, OB/FVG, RSI/MACD, etc.
Trade interactions
50% SQ: often the highest-quality interaction; if removal is ON, the box clears = “job done.”
Full mitigation then rejection through the other side → tag changes to INVERSED (acts like SR). Keep for N bars, then auto-remove.
Keep the chart tidy (optional)
If too busy, enable Size Filter or set Nearest per side to 2–4.
Use Lookback (bars) to make behaviour consistent across symbols and histories.
Inputs (key ones)
Use Strict FVG Filter: OFF(default)/ON
Enable Size Filter (percentile): OFF(default)/ON + threshold
Mitigation Source: high/low or close
Remove on 50% SQ + Delay
Inversion window after entry (bars)
Remove inversed after (bars)
Lookback (bars), Nearest per side (N)
Right Extension Bars, Max FVGs, Meter width (bars)
Colours: Bullish, Bearish, Inversed fill
Suggested defaults (per TF)
15m: Extension 50, Max 12, Inversion window 8, Clean up 8, Meter width 20
H1: Extension 25, Max 10, Inversion window 6, Clean up 6, Meter width 15
H4: Extension 15, Max 8, Inversion window 5, Clean up 5, Meter width 10
Notes & edge cases
If a wick hits 50% or the far edge but state doesn’t change, you’re likely on close mode—switch to high/low for wick-based behaviour.
If a gap disappears, it likely met a clean up condition (50% removal, inversion window, inversion clean up, nearest-per-side, lookback, or max-cap).
Meters are hidden after ACTIVE to avoid stale percentages.
