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.
Volume Order Block Scanner [BOSWaves]Volume Order Block Scanner - Dynamic Detection of High-Volume Supply and Demand Zones
Overview
The Volume Order Block Scanner introduces a refined approach to institutional zone mapping, combining volume-weighted order flow, structural displacement, and ATR-based proportionality to identify regions of aggressive participation from large entities.
Unlike static zone mapping or simplistic body-size filters, this framework dynamically evaluates each candle through a multi-layer model of relative volume, candle structure, and volatility context to isolate genuine order block formations while filtering out market noise.
Each identified zone represents a potential institutional footprint, defined by significant volume surges and efficient body-to-ATR relationships that indicate purposeful positioning. Once mapped, each order block is dynamically adjusted for volatility and tracked throughout its lifecycle - from creation to mitigation to potential invalidation - producing an evolving liquidity map that adapts with price.
This adaptive behavior allows traders to visualize where liquidity was absorbed and where it remains unfilled, revealing the structural foundation of institutional intent across timeframes.
Theoretical Foundation
At its core, the Volume Order Block Scanner is built on the interaction between volume displacement and structural imbalance. Traditional order block systems often rely on fixed candle formations or simple engulfing logic, neglecting the fundamental driver of institutional activity: volume concentration relative to volatility.
This framework redefines that approach. Each candle is filtered through two comparative ratios:
Relative Volume Ratio (RVR) - the candle’s volume compared to its rolling average, confirming genuine transactional surges.
Body-ATR Ratio (BAR) - a measure of displacement efficiency relative to recent volatility, ensuring structural strength.
Only when both conditions align is an order block validated, marking a displacement event significant enough to create a lasting imbalance.
By embedding this logic within a volatility-adjusted environment, the system maintains scalability across asset classes and volatility regimes - equally effective in crypto, forex, or index markets.
How It Works
The Volume Order Block Scanner operates through a structured multi-stage process:
Displacement Detection - Identifies candles whose body and volume exceed dynamic thresholds derived from ATR and rolling volume averages. These represent the origin points of institutional aggression.
Zone Construction - Each qualified candle generates an order block with ATR-proportional dimensions to ensure consistency across instruments and timeframes. The zone includes two regions: Body Zone (the precise initiation point of displacement) and Wick Imbalance (the residual inefficiency representing unfilled liquidity).
Lifecycle Tracking - Each zone is continuously monitored for market interaction. Reactions within a defined window are classified as respected, mitigated, or invalidated, giving traders a data-driven sense of ongoing institutional relevance.
Volume Confirmation Layer - Reinforces signal integrity by ensuring that all detected blocks correspond with meaningful increases in transactional activity.
Temporal Decay Control - Zones that remain untested beyond a set period gradually lose visual and analytical weight, maintaining chart clarity and contextual precision.
Interpretation
The Volume Order Block Scanner visualizes how institutional participants interact with the market through zones of accumulation and distribution.
Bullish order blocks denote demand imbalances where price displaced upward under high volume; bearish order blocks signify supply regions formed by concentrated selling pressure.
Price revisiting these areas often reflects institutional re-entry or liquidity rebalancing, offering actionable insights for both continuation and reversal scenarios.
By continuously monitoring interaction and expiry, the framework enables traders to distinguish between active institutional footprints and historical liquidity artifacts.
Strategy Integration
The Volume Order Block Scanner integrates naturally into advanced structural and order-flow methodologies:
Liquidity Mapping : Identify high-volume regions that are likely to influence future price reactions.
Break-of-Structure Confirmation : Validate BOS and CHOCH signals through aligned order block behavior.
Volume Confluence : Combine with BOSWaves volume or momentum indicators to confirm real institutional intent.
Smart-Money Frameworks : Utilize order block retests as precision entry zones within SMC-based setups.
Trend Continuation : Filter zones in line with higher-timeframe bias to maintain directional integrity.
Technical Implementation Details
Core Engine : Dual-filter mechanism using Relative Volume Ratio (RVR) and Body-ATR Ratio (BAR).
Volatility Framework : ATR-based scaling for cross-asset proportionality.
Zone Composition : Body and wick regions plotted independently for visual clarity of imbalance.
Lifecycle Logic : Real-time monitoring of reaction, mitigation, and invalidation states.
Directional Coloring : Distinct bullish and bearish shading with adjustable transparency.
Computation Efficiency : Lightweight structure suitable for multi-timeframe or multi-asset environments.
Optimal Application Parameters
Timeframe Guidance:
5m - 15m : Reactive intraday zones for short-term liquidity engagement.
1H - 4H : Medium-term structures for swing or intraday trend mapping.
Daily - Weekly : Macro accumulation and distribution footprints.
Suggested Configuration:
Relative Volume Threshold : 1.5× - 2.0× average volume.
Body-ATR Threshold : 0.8× - 1.2× for valid displacement.
Zone Expiry : 5 - 10 bars for intraday use, 15 - 30 for swing/macro contexts.
Parameter optimization should be asset-specific, tuned to volatility conditions and liquidity depth.
Performance Characteristics
High Effectiveness:
Markets exhibiting clear displacement and directional flow.
Environments with consistent volume expansion and liquidity inefficiencies.
Reduced Effectiveness:
Range-bound markets with frequent false impulses.
Low-volume sessions lacking institutional participation.
Integration Guidelines
Confluence Framework : Pair with structure-based BOS or liquidity tools for validation.
Risk Management : Treat active order blocks as contextual areas of interest, not guaranteed reversal points.
Multi-Timeframe Logic : Derive bias from higher-timeframe blocks and execute from refined lower-timeframe structures.
Volume Verification : Confirm each reaction with concurrent volume acceleration to avoid false liquidity cues.

DM Price ActionHere’s a tight, rules-based playbook for trading with your DM Price Action (FVG + S/R + Order Blocks + VWAP + Auto PDH/PDL/PMH/PML). It’s educational, not financial advice—tune to your market & risk.
Core ideas (what each tool does for you)
VWAP → intraday trend/mean.
PDH/PDL → yesterday’s extremes; magnet & reversal/continuation levels.
PMH/PML → premarket extremes; first liquidity tests after the open.
FVG → imbalance zones for continuation entries.
Order Blocks (OBs) → origin of impulses; mitigation/breaks = structure shifts.
S/R → target rails and break alerts.
Setups (long/short mirror)
1) Bias + Pullback (FVG/OB) at Key Level
Bias (need 2+ conditions):
Price above VWAP (bulls) / below VWAP (bears)
Price above PDH/PMH (bulls) or below PDL/PML (bears)
Most recent Swing OB bias in your direction (script updates via crosses)
Entry (bullish example):
Wait for a Bullish FVG to form after we reclaim PMH or PDH.
Prefer FVG overlapping a Bullish OB or sitting just above Support.
Enter on retrace into FVG midline or first bullish reversal candle inside.
Stop: a few ticks below OB low (or FVG bottom, whichever is wider).
Targets:
T1: nearest Resistance or PDH/PMH if not yet tested.
T2: next HTF S/R or fixed 2R–3R.
Manage: to BE at 1R, trail under swing lows or VWAP on trend days.
Bearish mirror: below VWAP, below PDL/PML, Bearish FVG into Bearish OB / Resistance; stop above OB high.
2) Range Break & Retest at PDH/PDL (with OB confirmation)
Context: Price consolidates under PDH (or over PDL).
Trigger: Clean break of PDH/PDL with an OB breakout alert in the break direction.
Entry: On retest of PDH/PDL from the other side, look for a small FVG forming with the move → enter on the pullback.
Stop: beyond the retest wick or the OB edge.
Targets: next S/R, opposing day extreme (e.g., from PDH to PMH/HTF level) or 2R/3R.
3) Premarket Sweep Reversal (open-specific)
Setup: At/near the cash open, price sweeps PMH/PML (wick through) but closes back inside, then a counter-direction OB forms.
Entry: On first FVG in the reversal direction that overlaps that new OB.
Stop: beyond the sweep extreme (PMH/PML).
Targets: VWAP first, then PD midline levels/SR.
Confluence checklist (score ≥3 before clicking)
+1 Above/below VWAP in trade direction
+1 Trading from a PDH/PDL/PMH/PML reaction (reclaim or rejection)
+1 FVG overlaps an OB
+1 Entry at S/R (use the script’s lines)
+1 Fresh zone (recently formed OB/FVG)
+1 Higher-TF structure aligned (e.g., 1H trend)
Take the trade only if score ≥3; size up only at ≥4.
Execution framework (simple & repeatable)
Timeframes: 1H (bias) → 5–15m (execution).
Risk per trade: 0.25–1.0% of account (fixed).
Position size: Size = Risk $ / Stop distance.
Management:
Scale ½ at T1 (nearest SR/PD level), move stop to BE at 1R.
Let runner to T2 (2R–3R) or next PD level.
If VWAP flips against you and closes 2 bars opposite, exit remainder.
Using the inputs (what to tweak)
Order Blocks:
Scalping mode for intraday speed; Day Trade for cleaner swings.
Hide Internal OBs if noise is high; keep Swing OBs for structure.
FVG:
Keep Auto Threshold = ON.
If noisy, plot higher TF FVG (e.g., 15m FVG on 5m chart).
PDH/PDL/PMH/PML:
If chart is cluttered, keep “Show lines only on last bar” ON and labels ON.
Session markets (futures/US equities): use default 0400–0930 premarket; FX/crypto can disable PM lines if irrelevant.
Alerts to set (so you only act on confluence)
Create alerts for:
Bullish/Bearish FVG (execution zones)
Swing/Internal OB Breakout (structure shift)
Support/Resistance Broken (targets/continuation)
(Optional) Crossing PDH/PDL: use TV “Price crossing” with the plotted PDH/PDL values or visually monitor the labels
Workflow: Wait for ≥2 alerts to line up (e.g., Swing OB Breakout + Bullish FVG near PDH), then open the chart and execute the rule set.
Example trade (bullish)
Price reclaims PDH, holds above VWAP.
Bullish FVG prints overlapping a Bullish Internal OB just above PDH.
Limit at FVG midline, stop below OB low.
T1 = next Resistance; T2 = 2R. Move to BE at 1R; trail under new swing lows.

ICT Turtle SoupICT Turtle Soup identifies classic “failed breakout” reversals after liquidity sweeps of recent highs/lows, then augments the setup with volume validation, market structure context, Kill Zone (session) filters, Order Blocks (OB), Fair Value Gaps (FVG), OTE (61.8–78.6%) zones, and optional risk targets (SL/TP 1:1, 1:2, 1:3). A compact dashboard summarizes current context (recent high/low, lookbacks, active session, structure state, mitigation counts).
What the Script Does
⦁ Detects Turtle Soup events: Price breaks a prior swing extreme and then quickly reverses back inside the range.
⦁ Grades signal quality: Factors include reversal speed, volume confirmation, breakout magnitude, and consecutive patterns.
⦁ Overlays market context: Trend/range classification (ADX / MA / ATR Bands / Combined), Kill Zones (Asian/London/NY), and time-of-day filters.
⦁ Marks IMB / mitigation zones: Draws Order Blocks and Fair Value Gaps, with optional live mitigation tracking and fading/removal on mitigation.
⦁ Shows OTE zones (61.8–78.6%) after confirmed reversals to highlight potential pullback entries.
⦁ Plots risk management guides: Optional SL buffer below/above reversal wick and TP bands at 1:1, 1:2, 1:3 R multiples.
⦁ Emits alerts on bullish/bearish Turtle Soup confirmations.
How It Works (Conceptual)
1. Liquidity Sweep & Breakout Check
⦁ Looks back over user-defined windows (single or multiple lookbacks: short/medium/long) to find the most recent swing high/low.
⦁ Flags a breakout when price pierces that swing (above for bearish, below for bullish).
⦁ Optional breakout bar volume check requires volume > avg(volume, N) × multiplier.
⦁ Optional swing age check requires the broken swing to be at least X bars old.
2. Reversal Confirmation
⦁ Within N bars after the sweep, validates a mean-reversion close back inside the prior range with a minimum wick/body ratio to confirm rejection.
⦁ Quality Score adds points for:
⦁ Speed: reversal within fast_reversal_bars;
⦁ Volume: breakout and/or reversal volume spike;
⦁ Series: previous consecutive signals;
⦁ Magnitude: sufficient sweep distance.
⦁ Optional high-quality filter only shows signals meeting a minimum score.
3. Context Filters (Optional)
⦁ Sessions/Kill Zones: Only allow signals in selected sessions (Asian/London/NY) with fully custom HHMM inputs.
⦁ Time Window: Restrict to specific hours (e.g., 08–12).
⦁ Market Structure: Classify Trending vs. Ranging (via ADX, MA separation/slope, ATR bands, or Combined). You can allow signals in trends, ranges, or both.
4. Smart Confluence Layers
⦁ Order Blocks: Finds likely OBs with structural validation (e.g., bearish up-candle prior to down move), imbalance score (body/range × volume factor), and extend-until-touched with mitigation % tracking.
⦁ Fair Value Gaps: Detects valid 3-bar gaps (bull/bear) with size threshold, supports touch / 50% / full mitigation logic, and can fade or remove after mitigation.
⦁ OTE Zones: After a reversal, projects the 61.8–78.6% retracement box from the actual swing range; offset scales to timeframe to avoid clutter.
5. Risk & Display
⦁ SL/TP guides: Optional wick-buffered SL and 1:1/1:2/1:3 TPs.
⦁ Dashboard: Recent high/low, active lookbacks, current session, structure label, and live counts of mitigated OBs/FVGs.
Signals & Visuals
⦁ Bullish Turtle Soup: Triangle up + label (🐢S/M/L/D + star rating).
⦁ Bearish Turtle Soup: Triangle down + label (🐢S/M/L/D + star rating).
⦁ Labels can show: quality stars, FAST/SLOW reversal, reversal & breakout volume tags, previous consecutive count, and last move %.
⦁ Lines/Boxes: OBs, FVGs, OTE zones, SL/TP bands, and optional breakout magnitude line.
Inputs (Key Groups)
⦁ Turtle Soup: Lookbacks (single or S/M/L), reversal bars, wick ratio, magnitude line, reversal speed, volume confirmation (multiplier/length), consecutive tracking.
⦁ Order Blocks: Show/validate structure, lookback, extend-until-touched, mitigation % threshold, colors.

⦁ OTE: Show OTE (61.8–78.6%), color, timeframe-adaptive offsets.
⦁ Signal Filters: Filter by session, time window, market structure method (ADX/MA/ATR/Combined), thresholds (ADX, MA periods, ATR multiplier), trending/ranging allowances, structure label & offset.
⦁ SL/TP: SL buffer %, TP 1:1/1:2/1:3 toggles & colors.
⦁ Breakout Validation: Require breakout-bar volume, min swing age, volume label toggles.
⦁ Alerts: Enable/disable.
⦁ Dashboard: Position, text size, colors, border.
How to Use
1. Markets & Timeframes: Works on FX, crypto, indices, and futures. Start with M5–H1 for intraday and H1–H4 for swing; refine lookbacks per instrument volatility.
2. Core Flow:
⦁ Enable multiple lookbacks for robustness on mixed volatility.
⦁ Turn on validate_swing_significance to avoid micro sweeps.
⦁ Use validate_breakout_volume + use_volume_confirmation to filter weak pokes.
3. Context Choice:
⦁ In ranging environments, allow both sides; in trends, consider counter-trend only at HTF OB/FVG/OTE confluence.
⦁ Narrow to London/NY for higher activity if desired.
4. Entries/Stops/Targets:
⦁ Entry on confirmed label close or at OTE pullback post-signal.
⦁ SL: below/above reversal wick + sl_buffer%.
⦁ TP: scale at 1:1/1:2/1:3 or manage via OB/FVG/structure breaks.
5. Confluence: Prefer Turtle Soup that aligns with OB/FVG zones and Combined structure method for added reliability.

Price Action Trader [BackQuant]Price Action Trader
Introduction
Price Action Trader is an all-in-one, chart-side workflow for reading trend, timing impulses, and mapping high-probability zones the way discretionary traders actually trade. It blends an ensemble trend engine with clean price-action building blocks—Market Structure (BOS/MSB), Fair Value Gaps, Order Blocks, and Volumetric Support/Resistance—so you can form a bias, find confluence, and execute with context.
What is it
A modular “price-action stack” that:
Paints trend bias and impulse shifts on the chart (optional candle coloring).
Auto-annotates internal & swing structure (BOS / MSB).
Finds FVGs on your chosen timeframe and draws them cleanly.
Detects Order Blocks (with optional FVG confirmation).
Builds volumetric S/R levels that adapt to liquidity.
Emits alerts for key events (new levels, touches, breaks, OB creation/touch).
Everything is configurable—keep it minimal (trend + a few zones) or run the full toolkit.
What’s it used for
Bias first, trade second: establish direction/conviction, then execute where structure, gaps, blocks, and volume agree.
Timing: impulse flips and level touches provide actionable triggers.
Risk placement: OB edges, FVG midlines, and volumetric bands give logical stop/target references.
Review & journaling: optional session shading and labeled structures make post-trade notes simple.
Composite Trend Model
A lightweight signal line (default: 30-period) that turns green when the composite regime is bullish and red when bearish. Under the hood, multiple cues (adaptive momentum, de-noised oscillation, volatility-aware filters) are blended into a single directional score; when thresholds flip, the line recolors and optional Long/Short dots appear.
How to use
Treat the line as your bias rail : favor longs while green, shorts while red.
Flat/rapid flips = stand down or reduce size.
Prefer clean charts? Keep only the line and (optionally) trend-painted candles.
Inputs to know
Show Trend Signal Line / Width.
Paint Candles by Trend.
Long/Bearish color controls.
Impulse Model
Highlights short-term pressure shifts with optional impulse candle coloring and ▲/▼ markers. Great for entries in the prevailing trend and for early warnings when impulses fire against bias.
How to use
Up-bias: look for the next impulse-up near structure/FVG/OB or volumetric support.
Down-bias: mirror the logic.
Frequent counter-impulses → expect chop or regime change.
Inputs to know
Show Impulse Signals.
Paint Impulse Candles.
Market Structure
Automatic Internal (tight lookback) and Swing (wider lookback) structure with BOS and MSB (CHoCH) labels. You decide what to show—All, BOS only, MSB only—independently for internal vs swing.
How to use
Use Swing labels for the primary map; Internal for entry refinement.
After a bullish MSB , seek the first HL back into support/FVG/OB.
After a bearish BOS , favor LH fades into resistance/FVG/OB.
Inputs to know
Swing Lookback / Internal Lookback.
Swing/Internal Structure: All | BOS | MSB | None .
Separate bull/bear color controls for both layers.
Fair Value Gaps
Detects bullish/bearish FVGs on the current or higher TF, draws boxes, and can extend them forward. Midlines provide quick visual targeting.
How to use
In-trend fills: in an up-bias, tags of bullish FVGs often offer high-quality continuation entries, especially with structure/OB confluence.
Failed fills: rejections at the midline can signal emerging strength/weakness.
Inputs to know
Show FVG / Show Last N / Extend.
Timeframe (blank = chart TF; set higher TF for macro FVGs).
Bull/Bear colors (tune opacity to taste).
Volumetric Support and Resistance
Builds adaptive S/R from price interaction + relative volume over a rolling lookback. Levels store touch counts; you can show volume stats on labels or inside boxes. Transparency and border thickness can scale with volume so stronger levels are visually louder. Broken levels can auto-remove.
How to use
Use as confluence with structure, OBs, and FVGs. A long at volumetric support + Bull OB + FVG midline is qualitatively different from a naked level.
If a level breaks on strong volume, stop fading—flip expectations or wait for a clean retest.
Inputs to know
Detection Sensitivity / Volume Multiplier.
Analysis Period / Max Levels / Min Distance (%).
Remove Broken / Extend Right / Show Volume Info / Text Inside.
Support/Resistance colors (+ high-vol variants).
Alerts
New Support/Resistance Level Created.
Level Touch.
Level Break.
Order Blocks
Detects bullish/bearish OBs using configurable fractals (3- or 5-bar) with a break confirmation (by Close or High/Low). Optional FVG proximity filter, right-extension, and auto-delete when filled.
How to use
Bullish bias: stalk pullbacks into fresh Bull OBs aligned with a bullish FVG or volumetric support.
If price fills an opposing OB and fails to continue, reassess bias—context may be shifting.
Inputs to know
Fractal Type & Break Method (Close / HL).
Filter with FVG + Max FVG Distance.
Extend Blocks / Delete When Filled / Show Labels.
Alerts
New Order Block Created.
Order Block Touch.
Final Notes
Suggested workflow
Start with Composite Trend (bias).
Mark Swing structure in that direction.
Wait for an Impulse in-direction near an OB / FVG / Volumetric level.
Risk = nearest opposite level or OB edge; targets = FVG midlines / next S/R.
Timeframes & assets
Defaults suit liquid intraday and 1–4H swing.
Slower markets → lengthen lookbacks, lower sensitivity.
Very noisy crypto → keep trend visible, trim drawings (e.g., MSB only, last 3–5 FVGs, 8–12 volume levels).
Keep it readable
Turn off modules you don’t need today—fewer, higher-quality signals beat clutter.
About this release
Internal scoring, smoothing, and detection logic are proprietary. Behavior is controlled via inputs described above.
Trade with a plan, test your settings, and let confluence do the heavy lifting.
Multi TF - HTF→LTF OrderblocksMulti TF — HTF→LTF Orderblocks
Identify higher-timeframe (HTF) order blocks and project them onto your lower-timeframe (LTF) chart—clean, fast, and publication-ready.
The script automatically detects swing breaks on your chosen HTF, builds the originating order block, and renders that zone on your current chart so you can execute on lower timeframes with higher-timeframe context.
--------------------
How it works
HTF swing structure is tracked via pivot highs/lows and a user-selected break confirmation (Close or Wick).
On a valid break, the script backtracks to the last opposite candle and creates the HTF order block (wick-to-wick or body-only depending on your setting).
The OB is projected to the LTF and extended bar-by-bar until:
Mitigation: price penetrates at least 50% of the zone → the box is marked “old” (dimmed) or optionally auto-deleted.
Close-break: price closes beyond the far edge → zone is optionally removed immediately.
Each zone includes a centerline and an inside label showing the original HTF (e.g., “M15”, “H1”).
Key features
True HTF→LTF overlay: trade M1/M5 with M15/H1/H4 context.
Mitigation logic (≥50%): first meaningful touch turns the zone “old” or deletes it (your choice).
Close-break handling: auto-remove zones broken by close, to keep charts clean.
Overlap control: choose how to handle overlapping zones on the same side:
Keep Latest, Union (merge), or Intersection (refine).
Wicks vs. Bodies: build zones from full candle range or just the body.
Lightweight UI: only the relevant inputs in the panel; sensible defaults.
Alert included: fires on the first 50% mitigation of any fresh zone.
Performance-friendly limits: cap the number of active zones to fit Pine limits.
Inputs (quick overview)
HTF for Order Blocks: timeframe to scan (e.g., 15, 60, 240, D).
Swing Length (Pivot L/R): pivot sensitivity for structure.
Break Confirmation: Close (recommended) or Wick.
Zones use Wicks: on/off for wick-to-wick zones.
OB Lookback before Break: how far to search for the opposite candle.
Max Active Zones: hard cap for chart cleanliness & performance.
Delete on Close-Break: remove zones that are invalidated by a close.
Delete after Mitigation: remove once a 50% touch occurs.
Handle Overlap: None, Keep Latest, Union (merge), Intersection (refine).
Colors & Border: fresh/old zone colors (default ~35% opacity) and optional borders.
Default profile (as shipped):
Break by Close, zones use wicks, Union overlap handling, 250 lookback, 250 max zones, borders off, and HTF label printed inside each zone.
How to use (suggested workflow)
Pick an HTF (e.g., H1 for intraday) and drop to your execution TF (e.g., M5/M1).
Wait for price to tap ≥50% of a fresh OB → look for your LTF trigger (CHOCH, iFVG, PA).
Place SL beyond the zone (or beyond the LTF swing) and manage to your targets (e.g., 2R–3R or to the next HTF OB).
Keep charts clean by enabling Delete on Close-Break and (optionally) Delete after Mitigation.
Alerts
“OB: Zone berührt (Erstkontakt)” — triggers on the first ≥50% mitigation of any fresh zone.
Create additional TradingView alerts with this condition to get notified in real time.
Notes & limitations
Built with request.security(..., lookahead_off) to avoid future-bar peeking; zones only form after a confirmed HTF break.
As with all pattern-based tools, use alongside your risk management and a defined entry model.
Pine has strict limits on drawings; use Max Active Zones to balance coverage and performance.
Credits
Designed for traders who want HTF precision with LTF execution—a clean, opinionated OB overlay that focuses on what matters: fresh zones, first touch, and invalidation.

SMC ToolBox [WinWorld]👋 INTRODUCTION
SMC ToolBox indicator is not just a simple indicator, but rather a collection of SMC-related algorithms, that our teams has found to make the most profound impact on determination process of the most high-quality liquidity zones and points of interests ( further – POIs ), hence the name of the indicator – Tool Box (and it also sounds cool :) .
From candle patterns to complex orderflow detection algorithm, ToolBox indicator will help any trader with search for useful tools, solving the needs from confirming position entry levels to trend-following and mean reversion opportunities.
❓ WHY DID WE BUILD THIS?
This indicator was initially built for our team's internal use for the sole purpose of gathering all actively used non-structure-related algorithms* in one place, so we could have only the tools that are truly needed at hand at any point of time. After we showed this tool to our trading partners, they were surprised about how light, fast and useful ToolBox was and they advised us on sharing this with our community and, after giving it a proper thought, we decided to follow their advice.
Funnily enough , after researching TradingView's open-source script library, we haven't found even one instance of even remotely alike indicators, so it fair to say that we are one of the first people to release this kind of SMC-related indicator bundles on the market and we strongly that TradingView's community will find this tool of use.
🤷♂️ WHY SHOULD YOU CARE AT ALL?
Frankly speaking, we are not the first people to build our own algorithms of such popular indicators like Equal Highs and Lows (EQHL), Previous Day High Low (PDHL), Orderflow (OF) and etc., but we are definitely one of the first teams to implement these indicators with the help of algorithms, that are actually used by the most professional traders on YouTube and other social media trading influencers. Simply taking trades from our SCOBs, OFs, EQHLs and etc. won't print you millions overnight, but what these algos will do is help you with being aware of is potentially laying ahead of you with a very clean probability.
Why does it matter? It simple: better market awareness gives you an edge over other trades, which use old algorithms, which are clearly outdated, so beating such traders in the long run is just a game of time for you, so good algorithms do matter. Each indicator inside ToolBox is there to help you develop this market awareness and forge your edge bit by bit.
Now let's talk about what is inside the ToolBox.
🔍 OVERVIEW
At the moment of publishing ToolBox contains 8 indicators, so say "Hello" to:
Price Border Bands (further – PBB) ;
Ordeflow (further – OF) ;
Equal Highs & Lows (further – EQHL) ;
Previous Day High & Low ( further – PDHL) ;
Single Candle Order Block (further – SCOB) ;
Institutional Funding Candle (further – IFC) ;
Engulfing Candle (further – EC) ;
Inside Bars (further – IB) .
Some of them you may know, some of them you may not, so let's review each of them one by one.
📍 INDICATOR: Price Border Bands (PBB)
Price Border Bands indicator is a simple yet useful algorithm, based on Triangular Moving Average (TMA), which helps determine extreme price spikes, which on average act as meaningful mean reversion opportunities. It also is a good an effective "verifier" of POIs and zones of interest (further – ZOI) .
We advise on using this indicator this way:
Look for price going beyond upper or lower band of PBB;
Look for price reaching POI or ZOI;
Start searching for your entry point.
The most common sign of potential price reversal, which PBB searches for, is intense price spike, which signals about "liquidity clearing" or, in simple terms, manipulation .
Manipulation of the price inside the POI or price being "stopped" by POI is a screaming sign of the potentional following reversal. See the example of such situation on the screenshot below:
Additionally we need to talk about trend filter inside PBB, which colours the bars on the chart under certain conditions. If bars on the chart are being coloured in gray – this is your sign to stop trading on this asset? because there is risk to catch an uncomfortably big price spike, which might turn the '+' of your position's PnL in to '-'. See the example of PBB highlighting bar's of risky price zone in gray colour on the screenshot below:
In order to continue trading you need to wait for bars to stop being coloured in gray OR confirm the fact that price made Change of Character (ChoCh) in reverse to the previous direction of price, which was marked as risky by PBB.
And last but not least: if you see POI being reach by price inside the bands of PBB, then consider this POI weak and avoid trading it. See the example of weak POI inside PBB bands on the screenshot below:
📍 INDICATOR: Orderflow (OF)
Orderflow indicator is an algorithm, which detects Sell-to-Buy (furthert – STB) or Buy-to-Sell (further – BTS) manipulations, using the algorithm of impulse & correction price movement detection, taken from one of our previously built indicators – Impulse Correction SCOB Mapper (ICSM) .
Let's explain the terms from above:
Impulse – series of bars, each bar of which consecutively updated previous bar's high and then last candle broke previous bar's low ;
Correction – series of bars, each bar of which consecutively updated previous bar's low and then last candle broke previous bar's high ;
STB – a type of price manipulation, which can be described as a correction of price inside global upward movemnt;
BTS – a type of price manipulation, which can be describd as a impulse of price inside global downward movement.
Unlike traditional order blocks, which are often narrower and more selective, Orderflow zones cover a wider price range and present a higher probability of mitigation. This makes them more reliable for entries in ovaerage in comparison to classic orderblocks.
Let's review examples of bullish and bearish orderflows on the screenshots below:
Bullish orderflows (STBs) (blue boxes with "OF" text inside)
Bearish orderflows (BTSs) (orange boxes with "OF" text inside)
The usage of ZOIs, detected by OF algorithm, is pretty straightforward: take trades against the ordeflow block, that price has reached. Even though we don't recommend relying on Orderflow blocks as sole producers of signals, you can use them as such in way, that can be described like this:
Place stop-loss (SL) beyond the furthest border of OF block (bottom of the bullish OF or top of the bearish OF), that price has reached;
Aim for >2:1 RR ratio and place your take-profit (TP) accordingly.
You can see the example setups of OF blocks as signal producers on the screenshots below:
Examples of LONG trades, taken from price reaching bullish OF block.
Examples of SHORT trades, taken from price reaching bearish OF block.
Summarising, Orderflow can be described as a tool that helps determine the STB and BTS price manipulations, which are great price ZOIs and can be used both as confirmation tools for your exisiting signals and sole signal producers, in which case such they needed to be handled extra mindfully and preferrably bonded with other tools for additional confirmation. We personally recommend using Ordeflow as confirmation tool, because ZOIs, detected by Orderflow, are usually the price ranges, around which traders tend to place their stop-losses, which only gives more strength to these zones for supporting the price and helps traders with "trading from support/resistance" strategies gain additional edge.
📍 INDICATOR: Equal Highs & Lows (EQHL)
EQHL indicator is an algorithm, which scans the extremums of impulse and correction movements, detected by our ICSM indicator , and marks ones which are roughly or equaly placed on the same price levels. Equal highs (further – EQH) and equal lows (further – EQL) are local liquidity pools, where stop orders and resting orders cluster; price often gravitates to these zones for liquidity “top-ups,” after which a reaction or continuation to the next liquidity source may occur. Basically, EQHL algorithm highlights clusters of equal extremes as navigational anchors for “collect → react → confirm” scenarios.
Talking about usage, we advise to not take swept or reached EQHLs as entries by themselves. Evaluate them alongside HTF structure, Inducement (IDM), orderblocks (OB), orderflow (OF), candle pattern context (e.g., IFC/EC) on the LTF and etc. Intended usage scenario of this algorithm is something like this:
Price reaches EQH/EQL;
Price hangs around the reached EQH/EQL;
Another tool (for example, OF or OB) signals about price reversals from the level of reached EQH/EQL;
Trader starts looking for an entry.
See the examples of EQHLs, which algorithms maps on the chart, on the screenshots below:
Equal Lows (EQLs)
Equal Highs (EQHs)
📍 INDICATOR: Previous Day High & Low (PDHL)
PDHL indicator is an algorithm, princples of work of which can be derived from its name: algorithm tracks previous day's high and low and displays it on the chart.
Previous day's high and low are fundamental POIs in any financial market, which are traded not only by SMC traders, but by many other traders, especially by traders, which consider these POIs are one of the most crucial, because they usually highly liquidity-rich and can signal about wondeful reversal opportunities.
We expect traders to use PDHL algorithm as confirmation tool when trading by mean reversion strategies. Usage of PDHL as signal source is advised against, but traders are free to experiment nevertheless.
PDHL algorithm shows two types of PDHLs on the chart: active PDHL (solid line) and swept PDHL (dashed line) . You can the examples of PDHLs, detected by our algorithm, on the screenshot below:
📍 INDICATOR: Single Candle Order Block (SCOB)
SCOB indicator is an algorithm, which marks a very specific POIS, which are based on of the most simple yet highly profound SMC and candle pattern principles and are usually a good alternative for classic orderblocks.
Principles of SCOB detection are very simple:
Price sweeps previous candle's extremum (high/low). So called "liquidity sweep" ;
Immediately after step 1 price forms a fair value gap (FVG).
You can see basic examples of bearish and bullish SCOBs on the screenshot below:
As a matter of fact, SCOB can be used both as a confirmation tool and source of signals. However! To be a source of signals, SCOB is most suitable to be used while trading on lower timeframe (LTF), while trading on a higher timeframe (HTF) on average requires to look at SCOB as a POI rather than as independent source of signals. That being said, we would like additionally to point out, that due to the nature of SCOB being an orderblock, this tool by its nature is best suitable as confirmation tool and we expect traders to use it as such, but either way this indicator is quite multifunctional and can be used by each trader for a more specific purposes.
SCOBs, which are detected by our algorithm, are painted on the chart either as coloured candles (SCOBs without inside bars) or coloured boxes (SCOBs with inside bars) . You can see examples of SCOBs, which were detected by our SCOB algorithm, on the screenshot below:
📍 INDICATOR: Institutional Funding Candle (IFC)
IFC is a candle, which is a more strict version of SCOB. Our algorithms detects an IFC, if SCOB satisfies these conditions:
SCOB candle has large shadow (more than 50% of candle's body);
SCOB candle has large range ( | high - low | is more than a certain value, which is base on ATR).
That's basically it! Being simple as that, IFC represents itself as a high-trust SCOB, which on average has larger chance of reversing price when IFC candle is reached by it and our practice shows that it is indeed the case. IFC candles are usually go hand in hand with large price and volume spikes, which are believed to be caused by large institutional players, who trading eager to catch retail trader's stop orders, which they usually place around POIs like IFC and SCOB.
We expect traders to use IFC as a tool for entry confirmation bias, especially when considering IFC from HTF.
You can see IFC, which our algoritms detects on the chart, on the screenshot below:
📍 INDICATOR: Engulfing Candle (EC)
An Engulfing Candle is a candle, which occurs when the current candle’s body engulfs the prior candle’s body, showing a short-term shift in demand/supply balance. In SMC context, it is most useful around POIs/liquidity as a contextual confirmation element. The indicator marks bullish and bearish EC without implying a “must reverse” outcome – it’s a focus cue, not a promise.
As with any other alike tool, this algorithm should not be used as sole source of signals, but rather as a confirmation tool. ECs near support/resistance zones or POIs are typically more impactufl than those inside choppy consolidations. Structural and LTF price impulse confirmation usually enhances existing position bias in a positive way.
You can see examples of engulfing candles on the screenshots below:
Bullish engulfing candles
Bearish engulfing candles
📍 INDICATOR: Inside Bars (IB)
Inside Bars are bars, which are contained inside the range of high and low prices of the bars preceding them. This algorithm was designed to showcase periods of potential price consolidation/volatylity compression and quite often precedes price movement towards closest liquidity POIs and ZOIs. When price finally breaks out of its previous range, it usually provides good opportunities for entering trades using breakout strategies (especially ones, that are based on SMC principles) .
You can see examples of IBs, which are detected by our algorithm on the chart, on the screenshot below:
That was a long list of features, now let's talk about settings now.

This indicator doesn't produce any particular signals not it gives any financial advice, but it helps you deepen understanding about potential existing liquidity zones and price points by employing principles of SMC algorithms, which are most commonly used by retail traders on a daily basis.
You can view this indicator as a Christmas candy box: you pick only the candles (indicators) you need and want. We expect any trader to use this indicator by exactly same way: you should take onlt the things you need to enhance your strategy, not worrying about what to do with other indicators, fi they don't suit you.
Lastly, we would like to share our team's recommendations (they are optional, of course) on how to use certain POIs from ToolBox:
Use PBB as a filter for validating POis. Pay close attention to the rule "don't trade POIs, which are located inside the bands of PBB" (described above in "INDICATOR: PBB") ;
Use Orderflow to find short-term and mid-term trading opportunitions for trend-following strategies, using OF blocks as resistance in bearish trend and support in bullish trend;
Use EQHL and PDHL indicators when trading by mean-reversion strategies on intraday timeframes. These indicators will be especially of use to forex, stock and crypto traders;
Use SCOB and IFC indicators when trading by mean-reversion strategy to find short-term reversal opportunities;
Use ECs and IBs as confirmation/denial tools for your entry ideas. We recommend avoiding trading If price is currently going inside HTF's IB range.
We have no doubts that SMC ToolBox indicator will be of use to any trader, who employs and desire to employ SMC principles in his strategy. We will be waiting for your feedback, meanwhile you can ask your questions in the comments :)
Sincerely,
WinWorld team.
True Order Block (OB) True Order Block (OB)
This script automatically detects and plots Order Blocks (OBs) based on the presence of Fair Value Gaps (FVGs).
Only Order Blocks are displayed on the chart.
🔎 How it works
The script looks for Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) according to a relaxed 3-candle definition.
Once an FVG is detected:
For a Bullish FVG → the last bearish candle before the gap is marked as the Bullish Order Block.
For a Bearish FVG → the last bullish candle before the gap is marked as the Bearish Order Block.
OBs are extended into the future until price either:
mitigates the zone (optional auto-removal), or
the number of live OBs exceeds the user’s maximum (FIFO cleanup).
⚙️ User settings
Draw Order Blocks (enable/disable plotting)
Minimum OB length (how far each zone extends initially)

Svl - Trading SystemPrice can tell lies but volume cannot, so keeping this in mind I have created this indicator in which you see sell order block and buy order block on the basis of price action + volume through which we execute our trade
First of all, let us know its core concepts and logic, which will help you in taking the right decisions in it.
core concept of the " Svl - Trading System " TradingView indicator is based on professional price action, volume, and swing structure. This indicator smartly gives real-time insights of important price turning points, reversal zones, and trend continuation. Its deep explanation is given below.
Edit - default swing length -5 , change according your nature , tested With 7 For 5 minute timeframe
Core Concept:
1. Swing Structure Detection
The indicator automatically detects swing highs (HH/LH) and swing lows (HL/LL) on the chart.
HH: Higher High
HL: Higher Low
LH: Lower High
LL: Lower Low
These swings are the backbone of price action – signaling a change in trend, a bounce, reversal or trend continuation.
2. Order Block (OB) Mapping
Buy Order Block (Buy OB): When the indicator detects the HL/LL swing, we declare Buy OB, the lowest point of the swing.
Sell Order Block (Sell OB): On HH/LH swing, the highest point of our swing is called Sell OB.
Order Blocks are those important zones of price where historically price has reacted strongly – where major clusters of buyers/sellers are located in the market.
3. Volume Analysis (Optional Dashboard/Barcolor)
The candle color depends on the volume ranking on the chart (most high/low, normal, pressure blue shade).
Highest/lowest volume candles are a special highlight, which helps to spot liquidity spikes, exhaustion, or big orders.
4. Live Dashboard
There is an automated dashboard in the top-right of the chart, which shows this in real-time:
Last swing type (HH/HL/LH/LL)
Reversal price (last swing level)
Swing direction (Bull/Bear/Neutral)
Volume, Buy OB, Sell OB, etc.
This helps the trader understand the market situation at a glance.
5. Smart Plotting/Labels
Buy/Sell are plotted as distinct lines on the OB chart.
The Labels option gives clear visual swing points.
All calculations are fast and automated – the user does not need to mark manually.
This indicator is an advanced, fully-automated price action tool that combines
trend, reversal, volume, liquidity and zone detection in one smart system,
makes entry/exit decisions objective and error-free,
and provides complete trading confidence with a live monitor/dashboard.
All of its functions/properties such as: swing detect, OB plot, volume color, dashboard follow best practice for professional chart analysis!
Apex Edge – Liquidity RaiderApex Edge – Liquidity Raider
The Predator That Hunts Where Retail Never Looks
The Liquidity Raider is not your average liquidity line plotter.
This is an institutional-grade hunting system that tracks the pools of liquidity Smart Money algos stalk — and tells you exactly when price is circling in for the strike.
Where most retail tools simply mark lines, this one acts like a predator:
Scans the chart dynamically to detect clustered highs & lows (pivot-based liquidity zones).
Filters noise with sensitivity & price rounding so you only get real liquidity levels — not every random swing.
Plots live BSL (Buy-Side Liquidity) & SSL (Sell-Side Liquidity) lines in clean dotted format.
Auto-deletes levels when swept, so your chart stays clean and focused.
Triggers directional arrows when price comes within your specified % distance to the target liquidity pool — before the market moves.
EMA confluence layer lets you align with institutional flow (customizable Fast & Slow EMAs).
Core Power
Cluster Logic – Finds high-probability liquidity zones using repeated pivot levels.
Sweep Awareness – Lines vanish the moment liquidity is taken, keeping focus on the next pool.
Proximity Strike Detection – Arrow signals only when price is within striking range.
Directional Clarity – Red arrows = targeting BSL, Green arrows = targeting SSL.
Scalable Across Timeframes – Adapts to your chart’s timeframe with dynamic lookback scaling.
Institutional Flow Filter – Optional EMA confirmation keeps you aligned with the real trend.
How to Use
Identify liquidity pools – Dotted green = buy-side, dotted red = sell-side.
Watch proximity arrows – These mean price is in range and hunting that pool.
Align with EMA bias – Enter only in the direction of institutional momentum.
Target the sweep – Your take profit is where the liquidity is resting.
Why Liquidity Raider Wins
This is not a lagging signal system.
It’s a real-time, clean, predictive tool designed to mimic the targeting logic of high-frequency algos.
By removing swept levels and focusing only on the next available pools, Liquidity Raider keeps you one step ahead of the crowd — and perfectly positioned for the kill shot.

ICT HTF Candles [Pro] (fadi)The ICT HTF Candles shows you multi-timeframe price action by plotting up to six higher timeframe candles on your chart, scaled to real price levels. Set candle counts per timeframe or toggle them off for a clean view, saving you time switching between charts. This helps you spot trends and reversals quickly, align trades with the market’s direction, and time setups like sweeps or bounces better. From scalping on the 1m to swinging on the 4H, it simplifies ICT and Smart Money Concepts (SMC), revealing trend shifts and institutional moves clearly. Once you use it, trading without this clarity just won’t feel right.
Key Features:
In-Depth Price Action Levels
These levels track ICT PD arrays and confluences across timeframes, making it easy to see how price action flows from higher timeframes and what your setup faces. Is your 5m trade about to run into a 1H bearish order block? Did it bounce off a higher timeframe FVG and create an SMT with a correlated asset? They make your chart a clear roadmap to market structure, helping you find strong setups, save time, and align with institutional moves:
Change in State of Delivery (CISD): In ICT trading, CISD marks potential reversal levels on each timeframe by showing the open of the highest series of up (green) candles for a bullish shift or the open of the lowest series of down (red) candles for a bearish shift. These levels are set at the opening price of the first candle in those runs, highlighting where the market turns. The indicator makes these levels easy to spot across timeframes, so you can track reversal points clearly. You can set your own confirmation criteria—a close or wick above/below the CISD line (bearish/bullish) or a close or wick above/below the high/low—to verify the CISD level cross. When confirmed, there is a high probability that we have a change in trend, and a reversal order block forms. CISD helps you track these reversal levels and confirm market shifts, making multi-timeframe analysis straightforward.
Order Blocks: When a CISD level cross is confirmed, the price is now below a series of up (green) candles or above a series of down (red) candles, marking these candles as order blocks that usually support the new trend direction. The indicator shows these levels clearly across timeframes, making it easy to spot high-probability reversal or consolidation areas. Keep in mind that price may sometimes move to mitigate an imbalance, so use your best judgment based on your multi-timeframe analysis to confirm they meet your trading criteria.
Trend Bias: Traders often struggle figuring out market bias—guessing the trend wrong, losing on trades against the flow, or missing how lower and higher timeframes line up. The Trend Bias feature tracks order blocks and change in state of delivery, displaying bullish or bearish trends for each timeframe to help you choose trades that go with the market’s direction. The indicator shows these trends clearly across timeframes, so you can quickly see if the 5m matches the 1H or if you’re going against the bigger trend. This makes it easier to avoid bad trades and make decisions faster, keeping you on track with setups that follow the main trend.
Immediate Rebalance: When looking at price action, you’ll see the market doesn’t usually leave behind many Fair Value Gaps (FVGs). That’s because the market is efficient and always rebalancing any inefficiencies. When the market starts a strong move, the last candle will usually close above the previous candle high (for up moves) or below the low (for down moves). At this point, the market will do one of two things: immediately rebalance by retracing first, or have a small retracement but leave behind an FVG. The Immediate Rebalance feature tracks rebalance levels across multiple timeframes, clearly showing where price rebalances. This helps traders have a better expectation of how the market may need to retrace and anticipate Power of Three (PO3) setups by being ready for a Judas swing to rebalance the imbalance.
Fair Value Gaps and Volume Imbalances: If the market fails to immediately rebalance, it will usually attempt to come back and rebalance it at a later time. FVGs and VIs give you a clear area where the price might be heading if it starts breaking structure on lower timeframes. These inefficiencies—price gaps (FVGs) or aggressive moves (VIs)—show where the market’s working to fix imbalances. The Fair Value Gaps and Volume Imbalances feature tracks these levels across timeframes.
Previous Candle Levels: The Previous Candle Levels feature marks the high, low, and middle of the prior candle on each timeframe, helping you identify key price levels for sweeps, bounces, or breakouts. It tracks the candle’s high and low as its extremes and the middle as the 50% mark, which you can set to calculate using the high-to-low range or the open-to-close range. These levels can provide tradable setups on lower timeframes.
Smart Money Techniques (SMT): What’s an ICT indicator without an SMT feature to track cracks in correlated assets? The ICT HTF Candles monitors your chosen correlated assets, like EUR/USD and GBP/USD or SQ and NQ, for signs of strength or weakness to use as confluence with other features and build the case for A+ setups. The SMT feature spots divergences when one asset makes a higher high or lower low while the other doesn’t follow, hinting at potential reversals or market shifts. It tests SMT using two immediate candles, since higher timeframes (HTFs) create larger gaps on lower timeframes. Traders can easily see these divergence levels, like a 15m SMT lining up with a 1H order block or CISD, helping you confirm high-probability setups and strengthen trade entries with multi-timeframe confluence.
Multitimeframe Order Block Finder (Zeiierman)█ Overview
The Multitimeframe Order Block Finder (Zeiierman) is a powerful tool designed to identify potential institutional zones of interest — Order Blocks — across any timeframe, regardless of what chart you're viewing.
Order Blocks are critical supply and demand zones formed by the last opposing candle before an impulsive move. These areas often act as magnets for price and serve as smart-money footprints — ideal for anticipating reversals, retests, or breakouts.
This indicator not only detects such zones in real-time, but also visualizes their mitigation, bull/bear volume pressure, and a smoothed directional trendline based on Order Block behavior.
█ How It Works
The script fetches OHLCV data from your chosen timeframe using request.security() and processes it using strict pattern logic and volume-derived strength conditions. It detects Order Blocks only when the structure aligns with dominant pressure and visually extends valid zones forward for as long as they remain unmitigated.
⚪ Bull/Bear Volume Power Visualization
Each OB includes proportional bars representing estimated buy/sell effort:
Buy Power: % of volume attributed to buyers
Sell Power: % of volume attributed to sellers
This adds a visual, intuitive layer of intent — showing who controlled the price before the OB formed.
⚪ Order Block Trendline (Butterworth Filtered)
A smoothed trendline is derived from the average OB value over time using a two-pole Butterworth low-pass filter. This helps you understand the broader directional pressure:
Trendline up → favor bullish OBs
Trendline down → favor bearish OBs
█ How to Use
⚪ Trade From Order Blocks Like Institutions
Use this tool to find institutional footprints and reaction zones:
Enter at unmitigated OBs
⚪ Volume Power
Volume Pressure Bars inside each OB help you:
Confirm strong buyer/seller dominance
Detect possible traps or exhaustion
Understand how each zone formed
⚪ Find Trend & Pullbacks
The trendline not only helps traders detect the current trend direction, but the built-in trend coloring also highlights potential pullback areas within these trends.
█ Settings
Timeframe – Selects which timeframe to scan for Order Blocks.
Lookback Period – Defines how many bars back are used to detect bullish or bearish momentum shifts.
Sensitivity – When enabled, the indicator uses smoothed price (RMA) with rising/falling logic instead of raw candle closes. This allows more flexible detection of trend shifts and results in more Order Blocks being identified.
Minimum Percent Move – Filters out weak moves. Higher = only strong price shifts.
Mitigated on Mid – OB is removed when price touches its midpoint.
Show OB Table – Displays a panel listing all active (unmitigated) Order Blocks.
Extend Boxes – Controls how far OB boxes stretch into the future.
Show OB Trend – Toggles the trendline derived from Order Block strength.
Passband Ripple (dB) – Controls trendline reactivity. Higher = more sensitive.
Cutoff Frequency – Controls smoothness of trendline (0–0.5). Lower = smoother.

Order Blocks [TakingProphets]The Order Blocks indicator automatically finds and highlights institutional Order Blocks (OBs) on your chart — powerful price zones where smart money has previously entered the market with large orders. These areas often act as strong support or resistance, and they’re key tools for traders using ICT (Inner Circle Trader) and Smart Money Concepts (SMC) strategies.
📘 What’s an Order Block?
An Order Block is usually the last bullish or bearish candle before a big move or shift in market structure. It represents where banks, funds, or institutions placed large buy or sell orders. Retail traders often miss these zones, but smart money traders use them to anticipate where price may return, stall, or even reverse.
This indicator identifies these zones for you — both bullish and bearish — so you don’t have to manually mark them.
🔍 How the Indicator Works
It waits for a market structure shift — when price breaks out of a recent high or low range.
Then it looks back to find the last opposite candle before that breakout — that candle becomes the OB.
It draws a box from the open of that candle to the high/low (depending on type) and keeps updating the box forward.
You can choose how strict the OBs need to be (Small, Medium, or Large) using ATR-based size filtering.
🔄 Breaker Blocks (Optional Feature)
If price closes through an Order Block in the opposite direction, that OB is considered invalid. But instead of deleting it, the indicator can automatically draw a Breaker Block. Breakers are important because they often become new support or resistance zones — a sign the market has flipped direction and is now respecting that level in a new way.
🎛 Custom Settings
Choose OB detection sensitivity: High (shows smaller moves), Medium, or Low (only the biggest institutional moves).
Customize colors and whether you want to show borders on each block.
Turn Breaker Blocks on or off based on your strategy.
Everything is dynamic and updates live as price evolves.
💡 Why Use It?
Knowing where smart money entered the market gives you a huge edge. Price often returns to these Order Blocks to "rebalance" or fill unfilled orders. With this indicator, you’ll:
Spend less time marking charts.
Spot high-probability entry zones faster.
Avoid common retail traps and trade with the algorithm.
Volume Order Blocks [BigBeluga]Volume Order Blocks is a powerful indicator that identifies significant order blocks based on price structure, helping traders spot key supply and demand zones. The tool leverages EMA crossovers to determine the formation of bullish and bearish order blocks while visualizing their associated volume and relative strength.
🔵 Key Features:
Order Block Detection via EMA Crossovers:
Plots bullish order blocks at recent lows when the short EMA crosses above the long EMA.
Plots bearish order blocks at recent highs when the short EMA crosses below the long EMA.
Uses customizable sensitivity through the “Sensitivity Detection” setting to fine-tune block formation.
Volume Collection and Visualization:
Calculates the total volume between the EMA crossover bar and the corresponding high (bearish OB) or low (bullish OB).
Displays the absolute volume amount next to each order block for clear volume insights.
Percentage Volume Distribution:
Shows the percentage distribution of volume among bullish or bearish order blocks.
100% represents the cumulative volume of all OBs in the same category (bullish or bearish).
Order Block Removal Conditions:
Bullish order blocks are removed when the price closes below the bottom of the block.
Bearish order blocks are removed when the price closes above the top of the block.
Helps maintain chart clarity by only displaying relevant and active levels.
Midline Feature:
Dashed midline inside each order block indicates the midpoint between the upper and lower boundaries.
Traders can toggle the midline on or off through the settings.
Shadow Trend:
Shadow Trend dynamically visualizes trend strength and direction by adapting its color intensity based on price movement.
🔵 Usage:
Supply & Demand Zones: Use bullish and bearish order blocks to identify key market reversal or continuation points.
Volume Strength Analysis: Compare volume percentages to gauge which order blocks hold stronger market significance.
Breakout Confirmation: Monitor block removal conditions for potential breakout signals beyond support or resistance zones.
Trend Reversals: Combine EMA crossovers with order block formation for early trend reversal detection.
Risk Management: Use OB boundaries as potential stop-loss or entry points.
Volume Order Blocks is an essential tool for traders seeking to incorporate volume-based supply and demand analysis into their trading strategy. By combining price action, volume data, and EMA crossovers, it offers a comprehensive view of market structure and potential turning points.
Advanced Market Structure & Order Blocks (fadi)Advanced Market Structure & Order Blocks indicator provides a new approach to understanding price action using ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts related to candle blocks to analyze the market behavior and eliminate much of the noise created by the price action.
This indicator is not intended to provide trade signals, it is designed to provide the traders with to support their trading strategies and add clarity where possible.
There are currently three main elements to this indicator:
Market Structure
Order Blocks
Liquidity Voids
Market Structure
In trading, market structure is often identified by observing higher highs and higher lows. An uptrend is characterized by a series of higher highs, where each peak surpasses the previous one, and higher lows, where each trough is higher than the preceding one. Conversely, a downtrend is marked by lower highs and lower lows.
Other indicators usually determine these peaks by calculating the highest or lowest levels within a predefined number of candles. For example, identifying the highest price level within the last 15 candles and marking it as a higher high or a lower high. While this approach offers some structure to price action, it can be arbitrary and random due to price fluctuations and the lack of proper structure analysis beyond finding the highest peaks and valleys within candle ranges.
In his 2022 mentorship, episode 12, ICT introduced an alternative approach focusing on three-candle pivots called Short Term High and Low (STH/STL), which are then used to calculate the Intermediate Term High and Low (ITH/ITL), and in turn, the Long Term High and Low (LTH/LTL). ICT’s approach provides better structure than the traditional method mentioned above. However, it can be confusing and difficult to track. There are great indicators that track and label ICT’s levels, but traders still find it challenging to follow and understand.
The Advanced Market Structure indicator takes a unique approach by analyzing candle formations, using ICT concepts, to identify possible turning points that mimic a real trader’s analysis of price action as closely as possible. However, it should be expected that Market Makers may use market manipulation to induce traders to make failed trades, and no tooling can eliminate these situations.
Advanced Market Structure tracks true Peaks and Valleys as they form, confirms them, and marks the chart with corresponding labels using traditional labeling methods (HH/HL/LH/LL), as such labeling makes it easier for traders to follow and understand. The indicator also draws levels to help identify possible liquidity areas and trade targets.
The indicator uses different calculation methods for the different type of market structure length, however all calculations are based on the same ICT candle blocks concepts.
Market Structure Settings
Other than the display settings, there are four (4) settings, mainly under the Level Settings section.
Allow Nested Candles
This option is only available on the Short Market Structure due to the methods used in calculating highs and lows. When used, the indicator will attempt to detect smaller fluctuations in price by tracking smaller candle moves, if any.
Level Settings
Level Settings allows the trader to decide two main calculations:
1. A new pivot point will form when a candle’s is crossed by the following candle’s
2. For a liquidity sweep and marking a level as mitigated, a candle’s must cross that level
Order Blocks
ICT (Inner Circle Trader) defines an Order Block as the last down-closing candle, or series of candles, before a significant upward price move or the last up-closing candle, or series of candles, before a significant downward price move. These key price levels, marked by substantial buy or sell orders from institutional traders or "smart money," create a block or zone on the price chart. When the price revisits these levels, it often leads to a strong market reaction. Order Blocks can consist of one or multiple consecutive candles of the same color, signaling areas of significant buying or selling interest. ICT's approach to Order Blocks provides traders with a structured method to identify potential areas of support or resistance, where price movements are more likely to change direction. Although ICT has shared some criteria for identifying Order Blocks publicly, the full details are reserved for his upcoming books. This indicator leverages the publicly available information to provide traders with valuable insights into these crucial price levels.
The Advanced Market Structure indicator is designed to be highly flexible, allowing traders to define their own combination of rules for identifying Order Blocks, thus customizing it to fit their unique trading strategies.
Order Block Configuration
Can be nested
An Order Block is defined as the last down candle or candles before a strong move higher, and vice versa for bearish Order Blocks. However, larger-than-usual candles resulting from news events or price action may not qualify as Order Blocks and can mute any Order Block within their range.
The "Can be nested" flag ensures that each Order Block is treated as an independent entity, even if it appears within the body of another Order Block.
Forms at swing point
Order Blocks formed at swing points typically have higher probabilities but are less frequent, assuming the same rules are applied. Additionally, Order Blocks at swing points may become Breaker and Mitigation blocks if they fail, providing more trading opportunities.
Forms a simple pivot point
A simple pivot point corresponds to ICT Short Term High and Low (STH/STL). Order Blocks using simple pivot points can occur in the middle of a move, not just at swing points. These are useful for identifying IOFED setups and supporting blocks that can bolster the price move.
Causes Market Structure Shift
Order Blocks that result in a break above or below a short swing point can help narrow down target order blocks, but they are less frequent. An Order Block causing a break above or below a pivot point does not necessarily indicate a strong Order Block. For example, an Order Block formed at a Lower Low is more likely to fail in a downtrend.
A clean close above order block
When the first candle breaks above an Order Block and closes above its high, this indicates a stronger Order Block. On the other hand, if a candle merely wicks through the Order Block without a solid close above it, it suggests a weaker Order Block. This may indicate hesitation or an impending reversal, as the wick represents a temporary and unsustained price movement.
Has displacement more than X the body
While some traders may capitalize on the initial break above an Order Block's CISD level, others prefer to focus on the return to an Order Block after displacement. Displacement is determined by the body size of the Order Block, and an Order Block cannot be tested until this level has been achieved.
Has a Fair Value Gap
When an Order Block is combined with a Fair Value Gap (FVG), it signifies a strong Order Block. The Fair Value Gap indicates a strong price movement away from the Order Block.
Has a liquidity void
A Liquidity Void occurs when two consecutive candles of the same color do not overlap, creating a gap similar to a Fair Value Gap, but involving one or more middle candles. Liquidity Voids can be utilized in combination with, or as an alternative to, the displacement setting.
Maximum number of OBs
The maximum number of Order Blocks to display.
Mitigated at block’s
An Order Block is considered mitigated when price reaches one of the main Order Block levels.
Liquidity Void
Liquidity Void refers to areas on a price chart where there is one-sided trading activity. This phenomenon occurs when the price of an asset moves sharply in one direction, leaving gaps where two consecutive candles of the same color do not overlap. These gaps can comprise one or more middle candles and indicates a pronounced lack of trading within that price range. Liquidity Voids are important because they highlight areas of minimal resistance, where price is more likely to return to fill the void and balance the market.
Liquidity Void vs Fair Value Gap
While both concepts are related to gaps in price action, they are distinct. A Fair Value Gap is a specific three-candle pattern where the middle candle creates a gap between the first and third candles. In contrast, a Liquidity Void represents a broader area on the chart where there is little to no trading activity, often encompassing multiple candles and indicating a more pronounced imbalance between buy and sell orders.
A FVG can be part of a Liquidity Void, a Liquidity Void can exist without necessarily including an FVG. Both concepts highlight areas of minimal resistance and potential price movement, but they differ in their formation and implications.
Advanced Market Structure and Order Blocks indicator focus on liquidity voids since a liquidity void can substitute for a FVG and it is usually less addressed by other indicators.

Order blocksHi all!
This indicator will show you found order blocks that can be used as supply or demand. It's my take on trying to create good order blocks and I hope it makes sense.
First off I suggest to verify the current trend before using an order block. This can be done in a variety of ways, one way could be to use my other script "Market structure" () which I use and suggest.
You can configure the indicator to behave differently depending on settings. These are the settings available:
• The order blocks created can be found in any higher timeframe defined in "Timeframe"
• The number of active order blocks are defined in "Count". If an order block is found the earliest order block will be replaced
• You can choose the type of order blocks that are found ("Bullish", "Bearish " or "Both") in "Type"
• The old order blocks can be kept if "Keep history" is checked
• Order blocks that are found are not removed when mitigated (entered) but when a new one appears. They can be removed when they are broken by price if "Remove broken zones" are checked
There is also a setting section called "Requirements" that defines what is required for an order block to be created. These are the settings:
• "Take out"
Check this if you want the base of the order block (the candle where the zone is drawn from (high and low)) to have to take out the previous candle (be higher or lower depending if the order block is bullish or bearish).
• "Consecutive rising/falling"
Each following candle in the reaction (the 3 reaction candles) needs to reach higher or lower (depending on bullish or bearish). Check this if you want that to be true.
• "Reaction"
Some sort of reaction is needed from the 3 candles creating the order block. This reaction is based on the value of the Average True Length (ATR) of length 14. You can here define a factor of the value from the ATR that these 3 candles needs to move in price. A higher need for a reaction (higher factor of the ATR) will create lesser zones. You can also choose to show this limit with the checkbox.
• "Fair Value Gap"
The reaction needs to create a gap (imbalance) in price. This gap is known as a "Fair Value Gap" and is created when the last candle's wick does not meet with the base candle's wick. Check this if you want this to be needed.
After these settings you can also choose the colors of the created zones. The ones that are active (called "Zones"), the ones that are replaced ("Replaced zones") and the ones that are broken ("Broken zones") (if this is enabled in "Remove broken zones").
I'm using my library "Touched" to be able to show you labels when the order blocks have a retest, false breakout and breakout. These labels can be hidden if you disable the labels under the style tab in the indicator settings.
The concept of order blocks is widely used among traders and can provide you with good supply or demand zones. I hope that this indicator makes sense.
My todo-list has a few things, but top of that list is adding alerts for zone interactions or creations. Please feel free to say what you want to be coded!
The order blocks in the publication chart are found in weekly timeframe but are shown on the daily timeframe. Other than that the image shows you zones from the default settings (which are based on the daily timeframe).
Best of luck trading!
