Candle 2 Closure [LuxAlgo]The Candle 2 Closure tool detects a specific reversal pattern on the chart spanning four bars. The first bar trades into a key price level. The second bar trades outside the first bar's range, but closes inside, indicating a reversal. The third bar closes outside the second bar's range, in the direction of the reversal, creating a price expansion. The fourth bar is a continuation of prices in that same direction.
This tool features key levels, equilibrium zones, and real-time alarms upon confirmation of the second and third candles of the pattern.
This specific part of the more complete Fractal model by TTrades was requested by a lot of you. We are happy to bring it to you and wish you a merry Christmas!
🔶 USAGE
This pattern is a TTrades concept: a reversal setup that is very easy to understand. It occurs when the current bar trades outside of the previous bar's range, but closes inside it. In other words, traders try to push prices outside of the previous bar's range, but fail. This is considered a reversal, meaning that traders encountered opposing forces that overwhelmed them. Thus, the expectation is that prices will trade in the new direction, changing the market bias from bullish to bearish, or vice versa.
Let's look at the example in the chart, where the four candles of this setup are marked. Note that we have selected a perfect setup, where all conditions are met.
Candle 1: This bar traded into a key price area at the top of the range, spanning several months.
Candle 2: This bar traded outside the range of Candle 1, but failed to close outside. This is the reversal.
Candle 3: The wick of this bar formed at or below the equilibrium zone of Candle 2, and it closed outside the range of Candle 2. This is the expansion.
Candle 4: At this point, the setup is complete, and the expectation for this candle is that it will trade in the same direction. The top of the candle is at or below the equilibrium zone of Candle 3. This is the continuation.
In a strong setup, the top or bottom of the next bar will form inside the equilibrium zone defined by the highlighted areas on candles 2 and 3.
This is a perfect bearish setup, featuring all elements. Not all setups will be like this, but when this setup occurs, it is important for traders to be aware of it.
The tool is highly customizable from the settings panel and features real-time alerts at candle 2 and 3 confirmations.
Now, let's take a broader view of the same chart. We have disabled the display of candle 2 and filtered the setups with a length of 50.
As we can see, most of the last 17 setups found on the EUR/USD daily chart lead to multi-day or multi-month price movements.
🔹 Filtering Reversals
The tool features a reversals filter that is disabled by default. This filter allows us to filter out minor reversals and display only those that are important.
Traders can adjust the length parameter to display reversals only at the top or bottom of the last N specified bars. We can see some examples in the chart.
🔹 Wick Threshold
From the settings panel, traders can fine-tune the equilibrium zone for candle 2.
If the wick exceeds the threshold expressed as a percentage of the total bar range, the equilibrium zone will be calculated based only on the wick. In all other cases, the full bar range will be used.
🔶 SETTINGS
Candle 2 (Reversal): Enable or disable Candle 2 reversals.
Candle 3 (Expansion): Enable or disable Candle 3 expansions.
Reversals Filter: Filter reversals as the highest or lowest of the last N bars.
Wick Threshold %: Filter wicks as percentage of total bar range.
🔹 Style
Bullish Color: Select bullish color.
Bearish Color: Select bearish color.
Transparency: Select the transparency level. 0 is solid and 100 is fully transparent.
Levels: Enable or disable the horizontal levels.
Candle 2 Zone: Enable or disable the Candle 2 equilibrium zones.
Candle 3 Zone: Enable or disable the Candle 3 equilibrium zones.
🔹 Alerts

Wyckoff Pro Detector + Dashboard & Alerts [Gemini]Description
Overview The Wyckoff Pro Detector is an advanced Price Action tool designed to automatically identify market structures based on Richard D. Wyckoff's theory. Its main goal is to help traders spot Accumulation and Distribution phases, highlighting critical turning points and institutional manipulation.
Development Logic This script was engineered using Pine Script v5 with a focus on institutional footprint tracking.
Structure Algorithm: It utilizes a custom Pivot High/Low detection mechanism with a variable lookback period (configurable) to filter out market noise and identify valid trading ranges.
Volume Anomaly Detection: Instead of raw volume, the script uses a Relative Volume logic (comparing current volume to a Moving Average) to mathematically identify "Climatic Action" typical of Smart Money intervention.
State Machine: The code operates on a state-based logic, meaning it remembers the previous market phase (Accumulation or Distribution) to validate subsequent signals like Springs or UTADs, reducing false positives.
Key Features
Automated Phase Detection: Identifies and draws dynamic boxes for Accumulation (Green) and Distribution (Red) structures.
VSA Integration: Highlights candles with "Ultra High" volume to signal Selling/Buying Climaxes.
Manipulation Signals:
SPRING (Buy): Detects false breakouts of support with an immediate return into the range.
UTAD (Sell): Detects false breakouts of resistance (Upthrust After Distribution).
Live Dashboard: An on-screen table showing the current Phase, Last Event, Event Time, and Volume Status.
Alert System: Fully configurable alerts for Climaxes, Structure Tests, and Entry Signals.
How to Use
LONG Signal: Wait for an Accumulation phase (Green Box). Look for the yellow "SPRING!" label. This indicates a "bear trap" and potential markup.
SHORT Signal: Wait for a Distribution phase (Red Box). Look for the orange "UTAD!" label. This indicates a "bull trap" and potential markdown.
Settings
Pivot Length: Higher values (20-30) filter noise for macro-structures.
Volume Factor: Adjusts the sensitivity for climatic volume detection.

SMC Strategy Tool v1.0 - Institutional SuiteDescription: The SMC Strategy Tool v1.0 is a comprehensive technical analysis suite designed for traders following the Smart Money Concepts (SMC) methodology. It combines market structure, institutional liquidity zones, and mathematical pivots to provide a high-probability trading environment.
Key Features:
Automatic Market Structure: Real-time detection of CHoCH (Change of Character) and BOS (Break of Structure) based on price action confirmation.
Institutional Order Flow (FVG): Identifies Fair Value Gaps with a dynamic mitigation system (boxes disappear once the price fills the inefficiency).
Premium & Discount Zones: Automatically calculates the current trading range and highlights the "cheap" (Discount) and "expensive" (Premium) areas for optimal entry.
Daily Pivot Points: Seamless integration of Daily Pivots (P, R1-R3, S1-S3) for institutional confluence.
Live Analytics Dashboard: A clean, non-intrusive table monitoring Market Phase, RSI (Momentum), and ATR (Volatility).
Smart Alerts: Built-in logic for "Discount Entry" during Bullish trends and "Premium Entry" during Bearish trends.
How to Trade:
Identify the Trend: Look at the Dashboard for the current Market Phase (Bullish/Bearish).
Wait for Value: Do not chase the price. Wait for the price to return to the Discount Zone (for Longs) or Premium Zone (for Shorts).
Find Confluence: The highest probability trades occur when a Discount/Premium entry aligns with an FVG and a Daily Pivot level.
Confirmation: Check the RSI cell. If it's red/green, the move might be exhausted; wait for a neutral reading or a structural reaction.
Available Alerts:
Trend Shift (CHoCH): Get notified immediately when the market structure shifts (e.g., from Bearish to Bullish).
Trend Continuation (BOS): Signals when the current trend is confirmed by a new structural break.
Discount Zone Entry (Long Bias): Notifies you when the price enters the Discount Zone while the Market Phase is Bullish. This prevents FOMO buying at high prices.
Premium Zone Entry (Short Bias): Notifies you when the price enters the Premium Zone while the Market Phase is Bearish. This ensures you are selling at institutional "expensive" prices.
How to set up Alerts:
Click the Alerts icon in the right sidebar.

SMA MAD Trend [Alpha Extract]A sophisticated trend identification system that combines Simple Moving Average with Mean Absolute Deviation methodology to create adaptive Super Trend-style bands with advanced strength filtering and gradient visualization. Utilizing ADX-based trend strength validation and slope analysis for signal quality enhancement, this indicator delivers institutional-grade trend detection with dynamic ATR-based ribbon visualization and comprehensive strength measurement. The system's dual-filter architecture eliminates false signals during weak or choppy market conditions while maintaining sensitivity to genuine trend establishment and reversal events.
🔶 Advanced SMA-MAD Band Construction
Implements innovative Mean Absolute Deviation calculation around Simple Moving Average baseline to create volatility-adaptive bands with ratcheting logic for trend persistence. The system calculates MAD by measuring absolute price deviations from the mean, then applies configurable multipliers to generate upper and lower bands that adjust to changing market conditions while preventing premature band violations.
// Core SMA-MAD Framework
SMA_Value = ta.sma(close, SMA_Length)
Mean = ta.sma(close, MAD_Length)
Abs_Deviation = abs(close - Mean)
MAD_Value = ta.sma(Abs_Deviation, MAD_Length)
// Adaptive Bands
Upper_Band = SMA_Value + MAD_Factor * MAD_Value
Lower_Band = SMA_Value - MAD_Factor * MAD_Value
🔶 Intelligent Dual-Filter System
Features comprehensive trend validation using ADX strength measurement and slope analysis to eliminate low-conviction signals during ranging or consolidating markets. The system calculates normalized slope strength using ATR scaling and combines with ADX threshold analysis, generating filtered trend states that distinguish genuine trends from temporary price fluctuations.
🔶 Dynamic Trend Strength Engine
Implements sophisticated strength calculation combining slope intensity and ADX readings to produce normalized 0-100% strength scores with gradient colour intensity modulation. The system normalizes slope by minimum threshold and ADX by configurable level, multiplying factors to create composite strength measurement that drives visual feedback intensity across all indicator elements.
🔶 Super Trend-Style Direction Logic
Utilizes classic Super Trend methodology adapted for SMA-MAD bands, where trend direction flips occur on opposite band violations with persistent state maintenance. The system tracks previous band levels with ratcheting behaviour that adjusts bands only when price movement or new calculations warrant changes, preventing oscillation during normal volatility.
🔶 ATR-Based Ribbon Visualization
Provides dynamic ribbon overlay using ATR-scaled width around the trend line with opacity modulation based on trend strength for intuitive conviction assessment. The system creates upper and lower ribbon bounds at configurable ATR multiples, filling the channel with gradient-adjusted transparency that increases during strong trends and fades during weak conditions.
🔶 Multi-Dimensional Visual Architecture
Provides complete chart integration through trend line overlay, ATR ribbon fills, candle colouring, background glow, and transition signal labels with configurable visibility toggles. The system enables traders to customize display density from minimal (trend line only) to comprehensive (all visual elements) while maintaining consistent colour scheme and strength-based intensity across components.
🔶 Slope Strength Validation
Calculates ATR-normalized slope over configurable lookback periods to measure trend line momentum and filter sideways price action. The system compares absolute slope against minimum threshold requirements, preventing trend signals when price movement relative to the trend line lacks sufficient directional conviction regardless of band position.
🔶 Signal Generation Framework
Generates trend change signals when filtered direction state transitions from bearish to bullish or vice versa, with label placement and alert integration. The system implements state persistence that maintains previous trend until both ADX and slope filters confirm directional change, reducing whipsaw signals while capturing genuine reversals with minimal lag.
🔶 Performance Optimization Framework
Utilizes efficient calculation methods with optimized variable management and configurable parameters for balance between responsiveness and stability. The system includes intelligent state tracking with NA handling for initial bars and smooth gradient calculations that maintain performance across extended historical periods and real-time updates.
This indicator delivers sophisticated trend identification through Mean Absolute Deviation methodology combined with dual-strength filtering for superior signal quality. Unlike traditional Super Trend indicators that rely solely on ATR bands, the SMA-MAD approach uses statistical deviation measurement while incorporating ADX strength and slope validation to eliminate false signals during choppy conditions. The system's gradient-based visual feedback, ATR ribbon visualization, comprehensive dashboard, and multi-dimensional filtering make it essential for traders seeking reliable trend-following approaches with clear conviction measurement across cryptocurrency, forex, and equity markets. The combination of adaptive bands, strength-based transparency, and intelligent filtering creates an institutional-grade trend system suitable for systematic trading strategies.
Liquidity Sweep Sniper AP StyleAP Capital – Liquidity Sweep Sniper (Fab-Style)
📌 Overview
This indicator is a precision scalping tool inspired by professional liquidity-based trading concepts often demonstrated by elite intraday scalpers.
The script focuses on liquidity sweeps followed by strong displacement, aiming to capture short, high-probability momentum moves — particularly effective on lower timeframes (1–5 min) during active market sessions.
It is not a signal spam tool. Signals appear only when multiple objective conditions align.
🧠 Core Concept
Markets do not move randomly — they seek liquidity before expanding.
This indicator identifies:
Buy-side / Sell-side liquidity
Liquidity sweeps (stop-hunts)
Strong displacement candles reclaiming price
Optional higher-timeframe trend alignment
Only when all conditions are met does a signal print.
🔍 What the Indicator Detects
1️⃣ Liquidity Pools
Equal highs or equal lows detected within a configurable lookback
Minimum number of touches required
ATR-based tolerance to adapt to volatility
These levels represent areas where stop orders are likely resting.
2️⃣ Liquidity Sweep
A valid sweep requires:
Price to wick beyond the liquidity level
Candle to close back inside the range
This indicates failed breakout / stop-hunt behaviour.
3️⃣ Displacement Confirmation
After the sweep, the candle must show:
Strong body (default >60% of candle range)
Candle range large relative to ATR
Clear directional intent (momentum)
This filters out weak reactions and chop.
4️⃣ Optional Trend Filter
EMA-based higher-timeframe bias
Helps align scalps with dominant direction
Can be enabled or disabled
📈 Signals
BUY: Sell-side liquidity sweep → bullish displacement
SELL: Buy-side liquidity sweep → bearish displacement
Signals are plotted directly on the chart and can be used with alerts.
⚙️ Recommended Usage
Markets: XAUUSD, indices, liquid FX pairs
Timeframes: 1m–5m
Sessions: London & New York (best performance)
Risk Management: Always required — this tool does not place trades
Best used as a confirmation tool, not standalone.
⚠️ Important Notes
This indicator is inspired by liquidity-based scalping concepts, not an exact replication of any individual trader’s private strategy.
No indicator predicts the future — this tool highlights high-probability scenarios, not guarantees.
Past performance is not indicative of future results.
TCR by AMAGADON TCR - THREE CANDLE RULES
The Methodology
TCR (Three Candle Rules) is a systematic confirmation indicator developed to solve the problem of "False Breakouts." Many traders lose capital by entering as soon as price touches a level; TCR eliminates this by enforcing a Two-Candle Validation rule.
The algorithm identifies a session-based range and requires price to "prove" its strength by holding outside that range for two consecutive candles before a signal is issued.
How the TCR Logic Works:
Zone Identification: The script anchors to the high and low of the session start (Asia, London, or NY).
Validation (The Rule):
For a BUY: Two consecutive M15 candles must both Open and Close entirely above the session high.
For a SELL: Two consecutive M15 candles must both Open and Close entirely below the session low.
The Trigger Box: Once validated, a Blue (Buy) or Red (Sell) box is drawn. The 50% (Midpoint) of the trigger candle becomes the high-probability entry zone.

TSS by AMAGADONTSS - THE SESSION SETUP
The Methodology
THE SESSION SETUP (TSS) is a price-action framework that utilizes session-specific volatility to define intraday expansion zones. By isolating the opening ranges of the Asia, London, and New York sessions on the 15-minute (M15) timeframe, TSS identifies clear institutional "interest zones."
The algorithm monitors these ranges for two specific price-action events:
Primary Breakouts: Decisive candle closes outside the session boundaries.
Liquidity Reversals (Counter-Signals): Identification of "fake-outs" where price traps initial breakout traders before reversing through the entire session range.
Features
Automated Session Boxes: Dynamic range calculation for all major global sessions.
Precision TP Levels: Systematic profit targets based on the measured session range (R).
Timeframe Integrity: Built-in guard to ensure the logic is only applied to the M15 timeframe, preserving the accuracy of the range calculations.
Visual Median: Dotted mid-lines to identify the "mean" price within a session.
CRITICAL DISCLOSURE - PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

Volatility High/Low Projection (PHOD / PLOD)AP Capital – Volatility + High/Low Projection
This indicator is designed to identify high-probability intraday turning points by combining daily range statistics, session behaviour, and volatility context into a single clean framework.
It is built for index, forex, and metals traders who want structure, not noise.
🔹 Core Features
1️⃣ Potential High of Day (PHOD) & Potential Low of Day (PLOD)
The indicator highlights likely intraday extremes based on:
Session timing (Asia, London, New York)
Current day volatility vs historical averages
Prior day expansion or compression behaviour
Each level is displayed with:
A clear label (PHOD / PLOD)
A forward-extending box acting as a live Point of Interest (POI)
Automatic invalidation when price breaks the zone
2️⃣ Volatility & Range Context (Info Panel)
A compact information panel in the top-right corner provides real-time context without cluttering the chart:
20-Day Average Range
% of the average range already used today
Range status (NORMAL / EXHAUSTED)
Average session ranges for:
Asia
London
New York
This allows traders to immediately assess whether price is:
Early in the day with room to trend
Statistically stretched and prone to reversal
Over-extended where breakout chasing is risky
3️⃣ Session-Aware Logic
The model respects how markets behave across the trading day:
Asia favours accumulation and potential lows
London provides expansion
New York often delivers distribution or exhaustion
This prevents random high/low marking and focuses only on structurally meaningful levels.
🧠 How to Use
Use PHOD / PLOD boxes as reaction zones, not blind entries
Combine with your own confirmation (structure break, momentum, volume, EMA reclaim, etc.)
Avoid chasing trades when the Range Status = EXHAUSTED
Particularly effective on 15m – 1h timeframes
⚠️ Important Notes
This indicator does not repaint
It is contextual, not a buy/sell signal generator
Best used as part of a complete trading plan
📈 Suitable Markets
XAUUSD (Gold)
Indices (NASDAQ, S&P 500, DAX)
Major FX pairs
📌 Disclaimer
This indicator is for educational and analytical purposes only.

VCAI BOS-Zone PROVCAI BOS-Zone PRO is a structure-driven order-block mapper that tracks swing highs/lows, detects Break of Structure (BOS), and automatically draws clean bullish and bearish OB zones with midlines and directional flags.
It provides a clear, rules-based map of where structural shifts occurred and where price may react on future retests.
What it does:
Uses configurable swing pivots to define structure.
A bullish BOS is triggered when price closes above the last swing high;
a bearish BOS when price closes below the last swing low.
After each BOS, the script finds the last opposite candle (bearish before a bullish BOS, bullish before a bearish BOS) and builds an order-block zone from that candle’s high/low.
Each zone is projected a fixed number of bars into the future, keeping charts clean and preventing zones from extending into the price scale.
Only the latest N bullish and N bearish zones are kept, so the chart focuses on the most relevant active levels.
How to read it:
Yellow boxes + BULL flags = bullish demand zones.
Purple boxes + BEAR flags = bearish supply zones.
The edges of each zone act as potential support/resistance.
Reactions inside a yellow zone suggest buy-side interest;
rejection at a purple zone suggests sell-side pressure.
Optional midlines mark the 50% level of each zone, commonly used for refined entries, mitigations, and partial management.
How traders typically use it:
BOS-Zone PRO does not generate buy/sell alerts, but many traders use the zones as part of a broader decision process:
Bullish zones are often monitored for long setups when price returns and shows strength or continuation.
Bearish zones are often monitored for short setups when price retests and shows rejection or weakness.
Midlines provide refined entry levels with clearer invalidation points.
This tool is best used as structural context alongside your own entry model, risk settings, and trade management.
Notes & best practices:
BOS is directional, not predictive — treat zones as context, not guaranteed reversals.
Works on all symbols and timeframes.
Lower swing settings capture local structure; higher settings focus on major breaks and cleaner OB's.
Ideal as a structural map for discretionary traders or as a component inside automated systems.
Part of the VCAI toolset.
We develop a range of market-structure, volume, trend and liquidity tools designed to work together or stand alone.
100% Price Action Sequential Multi-TF Break Strategy Analyse 100% sur l'action du prix en regroupant timeframe H1, U15 et U5 sur un seul graphique
Apex IndicatorThe Apex Indicator is a physics-based momentum tool designed to measure the 2nd Derivative (Acceleration) of both Price and Volume.
Unlike standard oscillators which often lag, this indicator uses Kinematics to identify the subtle shifts in momentum before price makes a major move. It answers the critical questions: Is the selling pressure fading? and Is there fresh fuel (Volume) entering to support a turn?
This script uses Hull Moving Average (HMA) smoothing for low-latency calculation, and Z-Score Normalization to force Price and Volume onto a shared, readable scale.
Visual Guide
The Histogram (Price Acceleration)
Bright Green: Strong Bullish Acceleration (High Velocity).
Dark Green: Developing Bullish Momentum (or Waning Bullishness depending on context).
Bright Red: Strong Bearish Acceleration (Panic/Dump).
Dark Red: Developing Bearish Momentum (or Waning Bearishness).
The Line (Volume Acceleration)
Yellow: Volume is accelerating (Interest is entering).
Purple: Volume is decelerating (Interest is leaving).
The Background Highlights
Green/Red Background: These mark Statistical Extremes (>1 Standard Deviation). While these show maximum power, they often mark the climax of a move rather than the start.
How to Trade: Reading the Subtleties
The power of the Apex Indicator is not in chasing the spikes, but in reading the Transitions.
1. The Turn (The Reversal Entry)
Don't wait for the explosion; look for the "braking" action.
The Setup: Price has been moving down strongly (Bright Red bars).
The Signal: The histogram shifts to Dark Red and begins moving up toward the zero line (less negative). This means the selling acceleration is dying.
The Trigger: A Dark Green bar prints, accompanied by the Volume Line turning Yellow/Rising.
Why it works: You are entering when the bearish energy is exhausted and fresh volume is stepping in to lift the price, often before the main breakout occurs.
2. The Second Wind (Trend Continuation)
The Setup: You are already in a trend (Green bars), but the bars fade to Dark Green or near Zero (a pullback or pause).
The Trigger: The next bar flips Bright Green and the Volume Line spikes Yellow.
Why it works: This confirms that the pause was just a breather, and buyers are stepping back on the gas.
3. The "Hollow Move" (Trap Avoidance)
The Scenario: Price is moving up (Green bars), but the Volume Line is Purple or dropping.
Interpretation: This is a drift, not a drive. Without volume acceleration support, these moves are prone to rapid reversal.
4. The Climax (Exits)
If the Background flashes Green (Alert Trigger), be aware that price acceleration has hit a statistical extreme (Z-Score > 1).
If you are in a position, this is often a good place to Take Profit, as maintaining that level of acceleration is mathematically difficult for the market to sustain.
Settings
Analysis Length (21): The lookback period for the HMA smoothing.
Normalization Lookback (21): The historical window used to calculate the Z-Score. A setting of 21 allows the indicator to self-adjust quickly to recent volatility conditions.
PRICE ACTION TRAKKERThis indicator isolates the core price-phase engine from the full Price Action Tracker (PAT) system.
It identifies and visualises structural phases of price, including:
Upper phase boundary (dynamic resistance)
Lower phase boundary (dynamic support)
Phase average (mean-reversion anchor)
Pivot markers (LPH, LPL, oLPH, oLPL)
The phase engine dynamically adapts to evolving market structure using pivot behaviour and structural breaks. This creates a real-time visual map of how price is organising itself — independent of time-based indicators and without the lag associated with classical moving averages.
This version focuses exclusively on price action structure, making it clean, fast, and ideal as a core tool on its own.
However, it is also designed as a foundation for more advanced analysis and will expand over time as additional modules are released.
This phase engine works exceptionally well in combination with my other indicators, such as moving-average structure tools, volume-weighted frameworks, and trend-strength models. Together, they provide a layered view of market behaviour:
phase structure → trend bias → volume confirmation → entry logic.
This makes the indicator valuable for:
Intra-day and swing traders
Wyckoff and liquidity-based traders
Mean-reversion and range-trading strategies
Understanding where accumulation/distribution behaviour is forming
Identifying when a phase is likely ending or breaking
Future updates will add modular expansion paths (trend scoring, VWAP phase weighting, multi-phase confluence, and signal logic), while maintaining the simplicity and reliability of this core engine.
Works Best With:
This indicator is part of a broader toolkit designed to analyse structure, trend, and behaviour.
When used alongside my other published tools — such as trend-strength MAs, VWMA frameworks, and higher-timeframe bias indicators — it provides a complete, multi-layered view of market conditions.
VOLX+ VWAP Range BandsVOLX+ plots multiple VWAP-weighted high/low channels across different lookback periods to show how price behaves relative to short-term and long-term value zones.
Instead of using a single VWAP line, this tool creates four rolling VWAP envelopes:
Short-term range (fast reaction)
Mid-term range
Mid-mid range (transitional layer)
Long-term range (macro context)
Each band is computed as:
VWAP-High = SMA(high × volume, length) ÷ SMA(volume, length)
VWAP-Low = SMA(low × volume, length) ÷ SMA(volume, length)
This produces dynamic price channels that account for both price and traded volume, offering a clearer sense of where the market is accepting or rejecting value.
What It Shows
Four VWAP-weighted high/low bands
A short-term VWAP midline
Price line
Three SMAs for trend context
Optional visibility switches for each VWAP band
The filled regions between VWAP highs and lows create a layered “value map,” helping you interpret:
Trend continuation (price hugging outer VWAP bands)
Mean reversion (price returning toward inner bands)
Volatility contraction/expansion
Shifts in short-term vs long-term balance
🧠 How to Use
Use the short-term band for day-trading context or detecting short-term excess.
Use mid-term and mid-mid bands to confirm developing structure.
Use the long-term VWAP band to understand broader value zones.
Combine VWAP bands with SMAs and structure analysis for confluence.
This indicator is intended for price interpretation and analytical support.
✔ Does Not Repaint
The script uses rolling VWAP formulas and standard MAs; everything is stable and non-repainting.
Liquidation Heatmap [Alpha Extract]A sophisticated liquidity zone visualization system that identifies and maps potential liquidation levels based on swing point analysis with volume-weighted intensity measurement and gradient heatmap coloring. Utilizing pivot-based pocket detection and ATR-scaled zone heights, this indicator delivers institutional-grade liquidity mapping with dynamic color intensity reflecting relative liquidity concentration. The system's dual-swing detection architecture combined with configurable weight metrics creates comprehensive liquidation level identification suitable for strategic position planning and market structure analysis.
🔶 Advanced Pivot-Based Pocket Detection
Implements dual swing width analysis to identify potential liquidation zones at pivot highs and lows with configurable lookback periods for comprehensive level coverage. The system detects primary swing points using main pivot width and optional secondary swing detection for increased pocket density, creating layered liquidity maps that capture both major and minor liquidation levels across extended price history.
🔶 Multi-Metric Weight Calculation Engine
Features flexible weight source selection including Volume, Range (high-low spread), and Volume × Range composite metrics for liquidity intensity measurement. The system calculates pocket weights based on market activity at pivot formation, enabling traders to identify which liquidation levels represent higher concentration of potential stops and liquidations with configurable minimum weight thresholds for noise filtering.
🔶 ATR-Based Zone Height Framework
Utilizes Average True Range calculations with percentage-based multipliers to determine pocket vertical dimensions that adapt to market volatility conditions. The system creates ATR-scaled bands above swing highs for short liquidation zones and below swing lows for long liquidation zones, ensuring zone heights remain proportional to current market volatility for accurate level representation.
🔶 Dynamic Gradient Heatmap Visualization
Implements sophisticated color gradient system that maps pocket weights to intensity scales, creating intuitive visual representation of relative liquidity concentration. The system applies power-law transformation with configurable contrast adjustment to enhance differentiation between weak and strong liquidity pockets, using cyan-to-blue gradients for long liquidations and yellow-to-orange for short liquidations.
🔶 Intelligent Pocket State Management
Features advanced pocket tracking system that monitors price interaction with liquidation zones and updates pocket states dynamically. The system detects when price trades through pocket midpoints, marking them as "hit" with optional preservation or removal, and manages pocket extension for untouched levels with configurable forward projection to maintain visibility of approaching liquidity zones.
🔶 Real-Time Liquidity Scale Display
Provides gradient legend showing min-max range of pocket weights with 24-segment color bar for instant liquidity intensity reference. The system positions the scale at chart edge with volume-formatted labels, enabling traders to quickly assess relative strength of visible liquidation pockets without numerical clutter on the main chart area.
🔶 Touched Pocket Border System
Implements visual confirmation of executed liquidations through border highlighting when price trades through pocket zones. The system applies configurable transparency to touched pocket borders with inverted slider logic (lower values fade borders, higher values emphasize them), providing clear historical record of liquidated levels while maintaining focus on active untouched pockets.
🔶 Dual-Swing Density Enhancement
Features optional secondary swing width parameter that creates additional pocket layer with tighter pivot detection for increased liquidation level density. The system runs parallel pivot detection at both primary and secondary swing widths, populating chart with comprehensive liquidity mapping that captures both major swing liquidations and intermediate level clusters.
🔶 Adaptive Pocket Extension Framework
Utilizes intelligent time-based extension that projects untouched pockets forward by configurable bar count, maintaining visibility as price approaches potential liquidation zones. The system freezes touched pocket right edges at hit timestamps while extending active pockets dynamically, creating clear distinction between historical liquidations and forward-projected active levels.
🔶 Weight-Based Label Integration
Provides floating labels on untouched pockets displaying volume-formatted weight values with dynamic positioning that follows pocket extension. The system automatically manages label lifecycle, creating labels for new pockets, updating positions as pockets extend, and removing labels when pockets are touched, ensuring clean chart presentation with relevant liquidity information.
🔶 Performance Optimization Framework
Implements efficient array management with automatic clean-up of old pockets beyond lookback period and optimized box/label deletion to maintain smooth performance. The system includes configurable maximum object counts (500 boxes, 50 labels, 100 lines) with intelligent removal of oldest elements when limits are approached, ensuring consistent operation across extended timeframes.
This indicator delivers sophisticated liquidity zone analysis through pivot-based detection and volume-weighted intensity measurement with intuitive heatmap visualization. Unlike simple support/resistance indicators, the Liquidation Heatmap combines swing point identification with market activity metrics to identify where concentrated liquidations are likely to occur, while the gradient color system instantly communicates relative liquidity strength. The system's dual-swing architecture, configurable weight metrics, ATR-adaptive zone heights, and intelligent state management make it essential for traders seeking strategic position planning around institutional liquidity levels across cryptocurrency, forex, and futures markets. The visual heatmap approach enables instant identification of high-probability reversal zones where cascading liquidations may trigger significant price reactions.
(QUANTLABS) Fractal God Mode: 25-Timeframe Scanner The indicator aggregates data into three distinct metric columns:
1. STRUCT (Market Structure) This analyzes price action relative to Fractal Pivots (Highs and Lows) to determine market direction.
HH (Breakout): Price has closed above the previous Pivot High. (Bullish Structure)
LL (Breakdown): Price has closed below the previous Pivot Low. (Bearish Structure)
TRAPPED: Price is trading between the last Pivot High and Low. This indicates a ranging market where trend trades should be avoided.
2. VELOCITY (Thrust) This measures the specific strength of the current candle on that timeframe.
The Math: It calculates the ratio of the body (Close - Open) relative to the total candle range (High - Low).
The Signal: High positive numbers (Green) indicate buyers are closing near highs. High negative numbers (Red) indicate sellers are dominating the range.
3. QUALITY (Efficiency Ratio) This acts as a "Noise Filter." It determines if the trend is moving in a straight line or whipping back and forth.
The Math: It divides the Net Price Movement (Distance from 5 bars ago) by the Total Path Traveled (Sum of the ranges of the last 5 bars).
PRISTINE (Values > 0.6): The market is moving efficiently in one direction.
CHOPPY (Values < 0.4): The market is volatile and non-directional (High Noise).
1. The Matrix (Dashboard) Located in the bottom right, this table gives you an instant read on Short-Term (3m-9m), Medium-Term (10m-45m), and Long-Term (1H-Daily) trends.
2. Coherence Flow At the bottom of the table, the script sums up the structural score of all 25 timeframes.
COHERENT BULL: When the Short, Medium, and Long terms align green.
COHERENT BEAR: When the Short, Medium, and Long terms align red.
3. God Mode (Global S/R) The indicator can plot Support and Resistance levels from higher timeframes onto your current chart. For example, while trading the 5m chart, you can see the 4H and Daily pivot levels plotted automatically as dotted lines, ensuring you never trade blindly into a higher-timeframe wall.
Trend Following: Wait for the "Coherent Bull/Bear" signal at the bottom of the dashboard. This confirms that momentum is aligned from the 3m chart up to the Daily.
Scalping: Focus on the Quality column. Only take trades when the Quality is "CLEAN" or "PRISTINE." Avoid entries when the dashboard warns of "High Noise" (Choppy).
Risk Management: If the dashboard shows "TRAPPED" on the Long Term (1H+), reduce position size or wait for a breakout.
Pivot Lookback: Adjusts the sensitivity of the Fractal Structure (Default: 5).
Show Fractal DNA Matrix: Toggles the dashboard table.
Show ALL Timeframe S/R: Enables "God Mode" to see supports/resistances from all 25 timeframes (Heavy visual processing, use carefully).
Future High LinePlot a horizontal line from the current high n bars into the future. Line is user configurable.
Works well with Ichimoku Cloud. When line (26 bars) rises into an overhead cloud, this often signals bullish price movement.

RaymondRatio [Qanexra] - Volatility with Doji Noise CancellationThe Problem with Standard Volatility: Most volatility indicators force a calculation on every single candle, regardless of quality. This means that during periods of market indecision (Dojis), your indicators are digesting "noise," leading to lag and false signals when the market finally moves.
The Solution: RaymondRatio Developed by Qanexra, the RaymondRatio is a sophisticated volatility gauge that introduces a proprietary "Doji Pause" mechanism. Instead of smoothing over noise, this indicator intelligently ignores it.
How It Works:
Volatility Engine: The core calculates the Raymond Trending value derived from a composite of short-term compare with the long-term volatility.
The Doji Pause: The indicator constantly monitors the Body-to-Range ratio of every candle. If a candle is detected as a Doji (indecision), the indicator freezes its calculation. It retains the last known "valid" volatility state.
The Ratio: The output is a ratio.
> 1.0: Volatility is expanding relative to the baseline (Active Market).
< 1.0: Volatility is compressing (Squeeze/Consolidation).
Key Features:
Smart Filtering: Background highlights in Gray indicate "Paused" zones where the market is undecided.
Clean Data: Prevents the baseline from being dragged down by low-quality price action.
Customizable Threshold: Users can define what constitutes a "Doji" (e.g., body is less than 30% of the range).
How to Trade: Use this as a filter for your existing strategy.
Green Light: When the Ratio is above 1.0 and rising, the market is in a valid expansion phase.
Red Light: When the Ratio is below 1.0 or "flatlining" during Doji Pauses, stay out of the market to avoid chop.
Breakdown Sniper [Riz]Breakdown Sniper is a complete structural-based price-action system designed to identify and validate three major setups
1. Failed Breakdowns (FBD)
2. Breakouts / Breakdowns (BO)
3. Back-Tests (BT)
The script analyzes swing structure, undercuts, reclaim behavior, channel bias, support/resistance levels, and a multi-layer confluence engine to highlight high-quality long/short signals.
It also includes trade management, target projections, trailing logic, risk models, and an optional dashboard for clarity.
Core Concepts Behind the System
1. Pivot Structure & New Low/High Logic
Breakdown Sniper continuously detects pivot highs and lows using user-defined left/right bars.
These pivots are used to determine
⦁ Recent structural lows/highs
⦁ Undercuts (for failed breakdowns)
⦁ Structural breaks (for FBO/BO setups)
This provides the foundation for all three setup types.
2. Failed Breakdown (FBD) Detection
The primary logic of the script is to detect failed breakdowns, which follow this sequence:
1. Identify an initial pivot low
2. Price undercuts that low
3. Price reclaims the level by a specified number of points
4. Optional: new higher low print confirming strength
5. Once confirmed, the script calculates:
⦁ Entry trigger price
⦁ Stop placement (multiple options: below undercut, below initial low, ATR-based, fixed)
⦁ Three profit targets based on risk multiples
The reverse logic is applied for failed breakouts (FBO).
3. Breakouts & Breakdowns (BO)
The system also captures momentum breakouts/breakdowns defined by:
⦁ Price breaking major support/resistance
⦁ Bar-level strength (close vs range)
⦁ ATR-based expansion
⦁ Holding above/below breakout level for a user-defined number of bars
If confirmed, the script projects T1/T2/T3 targets and stop placement automatically.
4. Back-test Setups (BT)
After a confirmed breakout/breakdown, the script monitors for a return to the breakout level, within a percentage tolerance.
If a clean retest occurs:
⦁ A BT Long or BT Short setup is generated
⦁ Risk and target calculations are performed automatically
This allows identifying continuation setups after strong breaks.
Channel & Levels System (Support/Resistance Engine)
The script builds a hybrid S/R and environment model using:
⦁ Regression channel OR
⦁ Donchian, Keltner, Bollinger channels (user-selectable)
The channel provides:
⦁ Upper/Lower boundaries
⦁ Midline
⦁ Trend bias based on slope
Additionally, a multi-touch support/resistance detector clusters pivot-based levels and scores them by:
⦁ Touch count
⦁ Recency
⦁ Age
⦁ Whether they classify as major levels
This explains where reversals and breakouts are most likely.
Confluence Engine
Every Long/Short signal receives a 0–100 score derived from:
⦁ Market structure: HH/HL or LL/LH
⦁ Trend filter (EMA-based)
⦁ Volatility conditions (ATR range requirements)
⦁ Session bias (Asian / London / New York / Overlap)
⦁ Volume expansion
⦁ Higher-timeframe trend (optional)
⦁ Location inside channel
⦁ Distance to nearest S/R
⦁ Setup-type priority (FBD/BO/BT)
Users can require a minimum score before a signal becomes valid.
Trade Management Logic
Once a trade triggers, the indicator handles:
⦁ Entry execution confirmation
⦁ Stop loss tracking
⦁ Three independent profit targets
⦁ Optional scale-ins
⦁ ATR-based trailing stop
⦁ Risk calculations
⦁ Real-time PnL monitoring
The script does not execute live trades — it only visualizes management levels for analysis.
Visual Components
Breakdown Sniper plots:
⦁ Channels & fills
⦁ Auto-detected S/R levels
⦁ Pivot highs/lows
⦁ Buy/Sell markers
⦁ Entry/Stop/Targets
⦁ Trade dashboard (optional)
⦁ Equity curve (optional)
Everything is toggle-based for clean charting.
How To Use the Indicator
Recommended Use-Case
⦁ Futures (ES/NQ/CL/RTY)
⦁ Indices
⦁ Crypto
⦁ FX
Works well on:
⦁ 5m / 15m / 1H
Signals do not repaint because pivots and reclaim sequences require bar completion.
Basic Usage Steps
1. Enable the setups you want to trade: FBD, BO, BT
2. Optionally turn on filters:
⦁ Trend filter
⦁ Volatility filter
⦁ Market structure filter
⦁ MTF trend filter
3. Wait for a valid long/short signal with sufficient confluence
4. Follow the plotted entry level, stop, and targets
5. Use the dashboard to monitor performance of each setup type

Quantura - Liquidity Sweep & Run LevelsIntroduction
“Quantura – Liquidity Sweep & Run Levels” is a structural price-action indicator designed to automatically detect swing-based liquidity zones and visualize potential sweep and run events. It helps traders identify areas where liquidity has likely been taken (sweep) or released (run), improving precision in market structure analysis and timing of entries or exits.
Originality & Value
This tool translates institutional liquidity concepts into an automated visual framework. Instead of simply marking highs and lows, it dynamically monitors swing points, tracks their breaches, and identifies subsequent reactions. The indicator is built to highlight the liquidity dynamics that often precede reversals or continuations.
Its originality lies in:
Automatic identification and tracking of swing highs and lows.
Real-time detection of broken levels and liquidity sweeps.
Distinction between “Run” and “Sweep” modes for different market behaviors.
Persistent historical visualization of liquidity levels using clean line structures.
Configurable signal markers for bullish and bearish sweep confirmations.
Functionality & Core Logic
Detects swing highs and lows using a user-defined Swing Length parameter.
Stores and updates all swing levels dynamically with arrays for efficient memory handling.
Draws horizontal lines from each detected swing point to visualize potential liquidity zones.
Monitors when price breaks a swing level and marks that event as “broken.”
Generates signals when the market either sweeps above/below or runs away from those levels, depending on the chosen mode.
Provides optional visual signal markers (“▲” for bullish sweeps, “▼” for bearish sweeps).
Parameters & Customization
Mode: Choose between “Sweep” (detects liquidity grabs) or “Run” (detects breakout continuations).
Swing Length: Sets the sensitivity for detecting swing highs/lows. A higher value focuses on larger structures, while smaller values detect micro liquidity points.
Bullish Color / Bearish Color: Customize color themes for sweep/run lines and signal markers.
Signals: Enables or disables visual up/down markers for confirmed events.
Visualization & Display
Horizontal lines represent potential liquidity levels (unbroken swing highs/lows).
Once broken, lines automatically stop extending, marking the moment liquidity is taken.
Depending on the selected mode:
“Sweep” mode identifies false breaks or stop-hunt behavior.
“Run” mode highlights breakouts that continue the trend.
Colored arrows indicate the direction and type of liquidity reaction.
Clean, non-intrusive visualization suitable for overlaying on price charts.
Use Cases
Detect liquidity sweeps before major reversals.
Identify breakout continuations after liquidity runs.
Combine with Supply/Demand or FVG indicators for multi-layered confirmation.
Validate liquidity bias in algorithmic or discretionary strategies.
Analyze market manipulation patterns and institutional stop-hunting behavior.
Limitations & Recommendations
This indicator identifies structural behavior but does not guarantee trade direction or profitability.
Works best on liquid markets with clear swing structures (e.g., crypto, forex, indices).
Signal interpretation should be combined with confluence tools such as volume, order flow, or structure-based filters.
Excessively small swing settings may cause over-signaling in volatile markets.
Markets & Timeframes
Optimized for all major asset classes — including crypto, Forex, indices, and equities — and for intraday to higher-timeframe structural analysis (5-minute up to daily charts).

Island Reversal [LuxAlgo]The Island Reversal tool allows traders to identify reversal patterns directly on the chart. These patterns signal a potential change in trend, either from bullish to bearish or vice versa.
The tool enables traders to filter these patterns by trend, volume, and range, making it easy to display pure or less constrained island reversals.
🔶 USAGE
An island reversal pattern may indicate a change in trend. It occurs when prices change direction from an uptrend to a downtrend, or vice versa.
This pattern is a great tool for timing the market. Traders should be aware of when these patterns develop and watch how prices behave after the pattern forms.
Now, let's take a closer look at one of these island reversal patterns to highlight its different components.
The different parts are depicted in the image above.
1. A trend prior to the pattern
2. A gap starts the pattern.
3. A range of prices
4. A final gap, opposite to the first one, closes the pattern.
5. In this case, the pattern leads to a bearish trend, which is opposite to the trend in the first step.
🔹 Trend, Volume and Range Filters
Enabling the trend filter causes the tool to only detect top island reversals during a bullish trend and bottom island reversals during a bearish trend.
Traders can adjust the size of the detected trend in the settings panel. The larger the trend size, the more relevant the reversal patterns can be.
The volume filter only detects reversal patterns if there is more volume within the range of the pattern than in the preceding trend.
The idea is that more people tend to participate at the top and bottom of a trend as it changes direction.
The tool has two range filters that discriminate the range within the island reversal pattern:
Horizontality Filter (R2): Based on the R-squared statistic from linear regression, it detects whether the price is moving sideways within the range.
Volatility Filter: Based on long-term volatility, it detects the size of the range within the pattern.
The smaller the value in the Horizontality Filter, the more horizontal the prices will be within the range. A larger value will detect more reversal patterns.
The larger the value in the Volatility Filter, the larger the ranges will be. A smaller value will detect fewer reversal patterns.
🔶 SETTINGS
