Sweep2Trade Pro [CHE]Sweep2Trade Pro \ — Liquidity Sweep → Trend → Confirmation
Sweep2Trade Pro \ helps you catch high-probability reversals or continuations that start with a liquidity sweep, align with the T3 trend, and finalize with a structure confirmation (BOS). It’s designed to reduce noise, time your entries, and keep you out of weak, chop-driven signals.
What’s a “sweep”?
A liquidity sweep happens when price briefly breaks a prior swing high/low (where many stops sit), triggers those stops, and then snaps back. This “stop-hunt” creates liquidity for bigger players and often precedes a sharp move in the opposite direction if the break fails, or fuels continuation if structure actually shifts.
What’s a BOS (Break of Structure)?
A BOS is a price action event where the market takes out a recent swing level in the trend’s direction, signaling continuation and confirming that structure has shifted (bullish BOS through a recent swing high, bearish BOS through a recent swing low).
How the indicator works (at a glance)
1. Regime Filter (T3 + R²)
T3 Moving Average: A smoother, faster-responding moving average that aims to reduce lag while filtering noise, so trend direction changes are clearer.
R² (Coefficient of Determination): Measures how “linear” the recent price path is (0→1). Higher values = stronger, cleaner trend; lower values = more chop. Used here to allow trades only when trend quality exceeds a user-set threshold.
2. Sweep Detection
Bullish sweep: price pokes below a prior swing low and closes back above it.
Bearish sweep: price pokes above a prior swing high and closes back below it.
Lookback length is configurable.
3. Sequence Lock (built-in FSM)
The script manages state in phases so you don’t jump the gun:
Phase 1: Sweep detected → wait for T3 to turn in the corresponding direction.
Phase 2: T3 direction confirmed → show “SWEEP OK” and wait for final confirmation.
Trade Signal: Only fires if confirmation arrives before a timeout.
4. Confirmation Layer
BOS via wick or close (you choose),
Strong close toward the signal (top/bottom quartile of the candle),
Optional “close above/below T3” condition.
These checks help avoid weak sweeps that immediately fade.
5. Alerts & Visuals
“SWEEP OK” markers show when the sweep + T3 direction align.
Final BUY/SELL arrows appear only when the confirmation layer passes.
Ready-made alert conditions for automation.
What you can do with it
Time reversals after sweeps: Enter when a stop-hunt fades and structure confirms.
Ride continuations: Use BOS with the T3 trend to pyramid or re-enter with structure on your side.
Filter chop: Let R² gate entries to periods with cleaner directional drift.
Automate: Use the included alerts with your platform or webhook setup.
Inputs (key settings)
Regime Filter
T3 Length / Volume Factor: Controls smoothness and responsiveness. Smaller length → faster, more sensitive; higher volume factor → smoother curve.
R² Lookback & Threshold: Length of the linear fit window and the minimum “trend quality” required. Higher thresholds mean fewer, cleaner signals.
Sweep / Sequence
Swing Lookback: How far back to define the “reference” high/low for sweeps.
Timeout: Maximum bars allowed between phases to keep signals fresh.
Restart timeout on Phase 2: Optional safety so entries don’t go stale.
Confirmation
BOS Lookback: Micro-pivot window for structure breaks.
Wick vs Close BOS: Conservative traders may prefer close.
Require close above/below T3: Tightens confirmation with trend alignment.
Practical guide (quick start)
1. Timeframe & markets: Works across majors, indices, and crypto. Start with 5m–1h intraday or 1h–4h swing; adjust R² threshold upward on noisier pairs.
2. Entry recipe (Long):
Bullish sweep of a prior low → T3 turns up → BOS/strong close.
Optional: enable “close above T3” for extra confirmation.
3. Entry recipe (Short): Mirror the above.
4. Stops: Common choices are just beyond the sweep wick (tighter) or past the BOS invalidation (safer).
5. Targets: Previous structural levels, measured move, or a T3 trail (exit when price closes back through T3).
6. Avoid low-quality contexts: If R² is very low, market is likely ranging erratically—skip or widen filters.
Tips & best practices
Context first: The same sweep means different things in a strong trend vs. flat regime; that’s why the T3+R² filter exists.
BOS choice: Wick-based BOS is earlier but noisier; close-based BOS is slower but cleaner. Tune per market.
Backtest -> Forward test: Validate settings per symbol/timeframe; then paper trade before going live.
Risk: Fixed fractional risk with asymmetric R\:R (e.g., 1:1.5–1:3) generally performs better than “all-in” discretionary sizing.
Behind the scenes (for the curious)
T3 is a multi-stage EMA construction that produces a smooth curve with reduced lag versus simple/standard EMAs.
R² is the square of correlation (0–1). Here it’s used as a moving gauge of how well price aligns to a linear path—our “trend quality” dial.
Stop-hunts / sweeps are a recognized microstructure phenomenon where clustered stops provide the liquidity that fuels the next move.

Contrarian 100 MAPairs nicely with Enhanced-Stock-Ticker-with-50MA-vs-200MA located here:
Description
The Contrarian 100 MA is a sophisticated Pine Script v6 indicator designed for traders seeking to identify key market structure shifts and trend reversals using a combination of a 100-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) envelope and Inner Circle Trader (ICT) Break of Structure (BoS) and Market Structure Shift (MSS) logic. By overlaying a semi-transparent SMA-based shadow on the price chart and plotting bullish and bearish structure signals, this indicator helps traders visualize critical price levels and potential trend changes. It leverages higher timeframe (HTF) pivot points and dynamic logic to adapt to various chart timeframes, making it ideal for swing and contrarian trading strategies. Customizable colors, timeframes, and alert conditions enhance its versatility for manual and automated trading setups.
Key Features
SMA Envelope: Plots a 100-period SMA for high and low prices, creating a semi-transparent (50% opacity) purple shadow to highlight the price range and provide context for price movements.
ICT BoS/MSS Logic: Identifies Break of Structure (BoS) and Market Structure Shift (MSS) signals for both bullish and bearish conditions, based on HTF pivot points.
Dynamic Timeframe Support: Adjusts pivot detection based on user-selected HTF (default: 1D) and chart timeframe (1M, 5M, 15M, 30M, 1H, 4H, 1D), ensuring adaptability across markets.
Visual Signals: Draws dotted lines for BoS (bullish/bearish) and MSS (bullish/bearish) signals at pivot levels, with customizable colors for easy identification.
Contrarian Approach: Signals potential reversals by combining SMA context with ICT structure breaks, ideal for traders looking to capitalize on trend shifts.
Alert Conditions: Supports alerts for bullish/bearish BoS and MSS signals, enabling integration with TradingView’s alert system for automated trading.
Performance Optimization: Uses efficient pivot detection and line management to minimize resource usage while maintaining accuracy.
Technical Details
SMA Calculation:
Computes 100-period SMAs for high (smaHigh) and low (smaLow) prices.
Plots invisible SMAs (fully transparent) and fills the area between them with 50% transparent purple for visual context.
Pivot Detection:
Uses ta.pivothigh and ta.pivotlow to identify HTF swing points, with dynamic lookback periods (rlBars: 5 for daily, 2 for intraday).
Tracks pivot highs (pH, nPh) and lows (pL, nPl) using a custom piv type for price and time.
BoS/MSS Logic:
Bullish BoS: Triggered when price breaks above a pivot high in a bullish trend, drawing a line at the pivot level.
Bearish BoS: Triggered when price breaks below a pivot low in a bearish trend.
Bullish MSS: Occurs when price breaks a pivot high in a bearish trend, signaling a potential trend reversal.
Bearish MSS: Occurs when price breaks a pivot low in a bullish trend.
Lines are drawn using line.new with xloc.bar_time for precise alignment, styled as dotted with customizable colors.
HTF Integration: Fetches HTF close prices and pivot data using request.security with lookahead_on for accurate signal timing.
Line Management: Maintains an array of lines (lin), removing outdated lines when new MSS signals occur to keep the chart clean.
Pivot Reset: Clears broken pivots (e.g., when price exceeds a pivot high or falls below a pivot low) to ensure fresh signal generation.
How to Use
Add to Chart:
Copy the script into TradingView’s Pine Editor and apply it to your chart.
Configure Settings:
SMA Length: Adjust the SMA period (default: 100 bars) to suit your trading style.
Structure Timeframe: Set the HTF for pivot detection (default: 1D).
Chart Timeframe: Select the chart timeframe (1M, 5M, 15M, 30M, 1H, 4H, 1D) to adjust pivot sensitivity.
Colors: Customize bullish/bearish BoS and MSS line colors via input settings.
Interpret Signals:
Bullish BoS: White dotted line (default) at a broken pivot high in a bullish trend, indicating trend continuation.
Bearish BoS: White dotted line at a broken pivot low in a bearish trend.
Bullish MSS: White dotted line at a broken pivot high in a bearish trend, suggesting a reversal to bullish.
Bearish MSS: White dotted line at a broken pivot low in a bullish trend, suggesting a reversal to bearish.
Use the SMA shadow to gauge price position within the recent range.
Set Alerts:
Create alerts for bullish/bearish BoS and MSS signals using TradingView’s alert system.
Customize Visuals:
Adjust line colors or SMA fill transparency via TradingView’s settings for better visibility.
Example Use Cases
Swing Trading: Use MSS signals to enter trades at potential trend reversals, with the SMA envelope confirming price extremes.
Contrarian Trading: Capitalize on BoS and MSS signals to trade against prevailing trends, using the SMA shadow for context.
Automated Trading: Integrate BoS/MSS alerts with trading bots for systematic entries and exits.
Multi-Timeframe Analysis: Combine HTF signals (e.g., 1D) with lower timeframe charts (e.g., 1H) for precise entries.
Notes
Testing: Backtest the indicator on your chosen market and timeframe to validate performance.
Compatibility: Built for Pine Script v6 and tested on TradingView as of June 19, 2025.
Limitations: Signals rely on HTF pivot accuracy, which may lag in fast-moving markets. Adjust rlBars or timeframe for sensitivity.
Optional Enhancements: Consider uncommenting or adding a histogram for SMA divergence (e.g., smaHigh - smaLow) for additional insights.

TrendCraft ICT SwiftEdge// The TrendCraft ICT SwiftEdge is a trend-following indicator that combines Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) with Inner Circle Trader (ICT) concepts, specifically Break of Structure (BOS) and Market Structure Shift (MSS), to generate precise buy and sell signals. This unique mashup leverages the strengths of trend confirmation through SMAs and market structure analysis via ICT to help traders identify high-probability trend entries. The indicator is designed to be intuitive, customizable, and suitable for traders of all levels seeking to align with market trends on various timeframes.
//
// ### What It Does
// The indicator plots two SMAs based on the high and low prices of candles to define the trend direction. It colors the SMAs and fills the area between them to visually indicate whether the price is in a bullish (above both SMAs), bearish (below both SMAs), or neutral (between SMAs) state. Simultaneously, it identifies BOS and MSS levels on a user-defined higher timeframe to confirm trend continuation or reversal points. Buy and sell signals are generated when the price closes above/below the latest BOS or MSS level (based on user preference) while also being correctly positioned relative to the SMAs, ensuring alignment with the trend.
//
// ### Why Combine SMAs and ICT?
// SMAs provide a reliable way to gauge trend direction by smoothing price data, but they can lag or generate false signals in choppy markets. ICT's BOS and MSS concepts address this by focusing on key market structure breaks, offering context for significant price movements. By requiring price to close beyond a BOS or MSS level and align with the SMA-defined trend, the TrendCraft ICT SwiftEdge filters out noise and enhances signal reliability. This combination creates a robust system that balances trend-following simplicity with structural market insights, making it ideal for trend traders.
//
// ### How to Use
// 1. **SMA Length**: Adjust the `SMA Length` (default: 20) to control the sensitivity of the SMAs. Shorter lengths react faster to price changes, while longer lengths provide smoother trends.
// 2. **Structure Timeframe**: Set the `Structure Timeframe` to a higher timeframe (e.g., "1H" on a 15M chart) to calculate BOS and MSS levels. This ensures structural signals are based on significant market moves.
// 3. **Chart Timeframe**: Select the `Chart Timeframe` to optimize pivot point calculations for your current chart (e.g., "30M" for a 30-minute chart).
// 4. **Signal Type**: Choose between "BOS" (default) for signals based on trend continuation breaks or "MSS" for signals based on potential reversal points (breakers).
// 5. **Display Options**: Enable/disable `Show Continuation (BOS)` and `Show Breaker (MSS)` to toggle the visibility of BOS and MSS lines. Customize their colors for better chart clarity.
//
// ### Signals
// - **Buy Signal**: Appears when the close price crosses above the latest BOS or MSS level (based on Signal Type) and is above both SMAs, indicating a bullish trend entry. Marked with a green "Buy" label.
// - **Sell Signal**: Appears when the close price crosses below the latest BOS or MSS level (based on Signal Type) and is below both SMAs, indicating a bearish trend entry. Marked with a red "Sell" label.
//
// ### Originality
// The TrendCraft ICT SwiftEdge stands out by integrating the trend-following reliability of SMAs with the structural precision of ICT's BOS and MSS. Unlike standalone SMA or ICT indicators, this script requires both trend alignment and structural confirmation, reducing false signals. The user-selectable Signal Type (BOS or MSS) adds versatility, allowing traders to adapt the indicator to trend-following or counter-trend strategies. Its dynamic timeframe adjustments and visual clarity make it a unique tool for traders seeking to capture trend entries with confidence.
//
// ### Notes
// - Ensure the `Structure Timeframe` is higher than your chart timeframe to avoid calculation issues.
// - Signals are generated only when the trend state changes to avoid redundant signals in the same trend direction.
// - Past performance is not indicative of future results. Always combine this indicator with other analysis and risk management techniques.
Smart Money Oscillator [ChartPrime]The "Smart Money Oscillator " is a premium and discount zone oscillator with BOS and CHoCH built in for further analysis of price action. This indicator works by first determining the the premium and discount zones by using pivot points and high/lows. The top of this oscillator represents the current premium zone while the bottom half of this oscillator represents the discount zone. This oscillator functionally works like a stochastic oscillator with more sophisticated upper and lower bounds generated using smart money concept theories. We have included a moving average to allow the user to visualize the currant momentum in the oscillator. Another key feature we have included lagging divergences to help traders visualize potential reversal conditions.
Understanding the concepts of Premium and Discount zones, as well as Break of Structure (BoS) and Change of Character (CHoCH), is crucial for traders using the Smart Money Oscillator. These concepts are rooted in market structure analysis, which involves studying price levels and movements.
Premium Zone is where the price is considered to be relatively high or 'overbought'. In this zone, prices have risen significantly and may indicate that the asset is becoming overvalued, potentially leading to a reversal or slowdown in the upward trend.
The Discount Zone represents a 'discount' or 'oversold' area. Here, prices have fallen substantially, suggesting that the asset might be undervalued. This could be an indicator of a potential upward reversal or a pause in the downward trend.
Break of Structure (BoS) is about the continuation of a trend. In a bullish trend, a BoS is identified by the break of a recent higher high. In a bearish trend, it's the break of a recent Lower Low. BoS indicates that the trend is strong and likely to continue in its current direction. It's a sign of strength in the prevailing trend, whether up or down.
Change of Character (CHoCH) is an indication of a potential end to a trend. It occurs when there's a significant change in the market's behavior, contradicting the current trend. For example, in an uptrend characterized by higher highs and higher lows, a CHoCH may occur if a new high is formed but then is followed by an impulsive move downwards. This suggests that the bullish trend may be weakening and a bearish reversal could be imminent. CHoCH is essentially a sign of trend exhaustion and potential reversal.
With each consecutive BoS, the signal line of the oscillator will deepen in color. This allows you to visually see the strength of the current trend. The maximum strength of the trend is found by keeping track of the maximum number of consecutive BoS's within a window of 10. This calculation excludes periods without any BoS's to allow for a more stable max.
Quick Update is a feature that implements a more aggressive algorithm to update the highs and lows. Instead of updating the pivot points exclusively to update the range levels, it will attempt to use the current historical highs/lows to update the bounds. This results in a more responsive range at the cost of stability. There are pros and cons for both settings. With Quick Update disabled, the indicator will allow for strong reversals to register without the indicator maxing out. With Quick Update enabled, the indicator will show shorter term extremes with the risk of the signal being pinned to the extremities during strong trends or large movements. With Quick Update disabled, the oscillator prioritizes stability, using a more historical perspective to set its bounds. When Quick Update is enabled, the oscillator becomes more responsive, adjusting its bounds rapidly to reflect the latest market movements.
The Scale Offset feature allows the indicator to break the boundaries of the oscillator. This can be useful when the market is breaking highs or lows allowing the user to identify extremities in price. With Scale Offset disabled the oscillator will always remain inside of the boundaries because the extremities will be updated instantly. When this feature is enabled it will update the boundaries one step behind instead of updating it instantly. This allows the user to more easily see overbought and oversold conditions at the cost of incurring a single bar lag to the boundaries. Generally this is a good idea as this behavior makes the oscillator more sensitive to recent price spikes or drops, reflecting sudden market movements more accurately. It accentuates the extremities of the market conditions, potentially offering a more aggressive analysis. The main trade-off with the Scale Offset feature is between sensitivity and potential overreaction. It offers a more immediate and exaggerated reflection of market conditions but might also lead to misinterpretations in certain scenarios, especially in highly volatile markets.
Divergence is used to predict potential trend reversals. It occurs when the price of an asset and the reading of an oscillator move in opposite directions. This discrepancy can signal a weakening of the current trend and possibly indicate a potential reversal.
Divergence doesn't always lead to a trend reversal, but it's a warning sign that the current trend might be weakening. Divergence can sometimes give false signals, particularly in strongly trending markets where the oscillator may remain in overbought or oversold conditions for extended periods. The lagging nature of using pivot points to calculate divergences means that all divergences are limited by the pivot look forward input. The upside of using a longer look forward is that the divergences will be more accurate. The obvious con here is that it will be more delayed and might be useless by the time it appears. Its recommended to use the built in divergences as a way to learn how these are formed so you can make your own in real time.
By default, the oscillator uses a smoothing of 3 to allow for a more price like behavior while still being rather smooth compared to raw price data. Conversely, you can increase this value to make this indicator behave smoother. Something to keep in mind is that the amount of delay from real time is equal to half of the smoothing period.
We have included a verity of alerts in this indicator. Here is a list of all of the available alerts: Bullish BOS, Bearish BOS, Bullish CHoCH, Bearish CHoCH, Bullish Divergence, Hidden Bullish Divergence, Bearish Divergence, Hidden Bearish Divergence, Cross Over Average, Cross Under Average.
Below are all of the inputs and their tooltips to get you started:
Settings:
Smoothing: Specifies the degree of smoothing applied to the oscillator. Higher values result in smoother but potentially less responsive signals.
Average Length: Sets the length of the moving average applied to the oscillator, affecting its sensitivity and smoothness.
Pivot Length: Specifies the forward-looking length for pivot points, affecting how the oscillator anticipates future price movements. This directly impacts the delay in finding a pivot.
Max Length: Sets the maximum length to consider for calculating the highest values in the oscillator.
Min Length: Defines the minimum length for calculating the lowest values in the oscillator.
Quick Update: Activates a faster update mode for the oscillator's extremities, which may result in less stable range boundaries.
Scale Offset: When enabled, delays updating minimum and maximum values to enhance signal directionality, allowing the signal to occasionally exceed normal bounds.

BK AK-King Quazi🦁👑 BK AK–KING QUAZI — MEASURED HAND, CLEAN BLADE. 👑🦁
This is Quasimodo turned into a permissioned process: PROTO → BOS proof → RETEST → CONFIRM → resolve or invalidate — with mapped levels so you execute clean or you stand down.
All glory to the Almighty — the true source of wisdom, restraint, and endurance.
AK is honor — my mentor’s standard: clarity, patience, no shortcuts, no gambling.
🧠 What It Does
King Quazi detects and manages Quasimodo (QM) structures and outputs an execution-ready battlefield:
PROTO detection: identifies developing QM structure early (awareness, not a trade)
BOS validation: requires a displacement break (ATR-based) so you don’t trade fake breaks
RETEST logic: watches the key QM level for the “return to the scene”
CONFIRM stage: only triggers when structure + proof + timing align
INVALIDATION + cleanup: marks failure clearly and manages drawings to keep charts readable
Projections + targets: maps QM / BOS / INV, plus optional T1/T2 so planning is standardized
MTF War Room: reads multiple timeframes and shows who’s in PROTO / CONFIRM / NOW so you stop trading against the higher court
This is not a pattern sticker. It’s a workflow.
What You See On Chart (so it’s usable)
QM level + BOS level + invalidation line
Optional forward projections / extension
Optional target mapping (T1/T2)
Stage-aware labels (PROTO / CONFIRM / invalidation handling)
MTF table showing which timeframe is active and which stage is “live”
🔍 How It Works (So You Know It’s Not Random)
1) Swing Structure → QM Candidate
The script builds swing structure and recognizes valid QM geometry — no guesswork labels without structure.
2) BOS Displacement Filter (Proof of Intent)
Most QM tools fire when the shape appears. King Quazi demands body displacement vs ATR so a “break” has force behind it — not wick theater.
3) Retest + Confirm (Permissioned Entry)
After BOS, it expects retest behavior and confirms only when the market acts right at the level — not in the middle of nowhere.
4) Object Lifecycle (Clean Chart, Honest Outcome)
The script manages lines/labels so your chart stays readable and outcomes are tracked — not hidden.
🧩 Why This Script Is Original (Not Another QM Clone)
The Quasimodo concept is public. The edge here is the integration:
staged event sequencing (PROTO → BOS → RETEST → CONFIRM)
ATR displacement proof to cut false positives
standardized execution mapping (QM/BOS/INV + optional targets)
multi-timeframe stage awareness (so you stop fighting higher structure)
alert routing by event stage (signal control, not spam)
It’s not “more signals.” It’s better permission.
🧭 How To Use It (Execution Rules)
1) Campaign Mode (Trend-Aligned)
Trade only when the MTF posture supports it. PROTO is awareness — BOS/RETEST is proof.
2) Verdict Mode (Turns)
A reversal is not a feeling. It’s testimony failing at the boundary and pressure flipping. Confirm at the level or don’t touch it.
3) Stand-Down Mode (The Feature Tourists Hate)
When the tool goes quiet, it’s telling you the truth:
no permission = no trade.
That’s how capital survives.
⚙️ What You Actually Tune
Zigzag sensitivity (tight vs clean structure)
BOS displacement strictness (how hard price must prove intent)
Retest window + expiration (how strict confirmation is)
Projection visibility (QM/BOS/INV, forward extension)
Targets & entry zone behavior (T1/T2 + buffers)
MTF table + alerts (what you want surfaced)
🧑🏫 BK / AK / Faith
BK is the mark I’m building.
AK is honor — discipline, patience, clean execution.
All glory to the Almighty — the true source of wisdom and endurance.
🗡️ King David Lens (Deep — Discipline Under Fire)
David’s power wasn’t impulse. It was governed force — strength that answers to law.
He learned early that the most dangerous trap is moving before you’re sent.
That’s why his life is full of the same pattern traders ignore:
He was anointed long before he was crowned.
Meaning: truth can be real before it’s allowed to manifest.
He fought Goliath with a weapon people mocked — not because it was flashy, but because it was mastered.
Meaning: edge isn’t what looks impressive — it’s what’s trained and repeatable.
He had Saul in his hands and still refused the shortcut.
Meaning: opportunity is not permission; proximity is not assignment.
He waited through wilderness seasons where nothing “looked like progress.”
Meaning: silence isn’t rejection — sometimes it’s preparation.
That is the trader’s war.
Price will always offer motion.
But motion without permission is bait.
David didn’t survive by chasing what was available.
He survived by waiting until the moment was proved, the ground was chosen, and the strike was clean.
That’s what King Quazi enforces:
PROTO is the rumor.
BOS displacement is the proof.
Retest is the test of legitimacy.
Confirm is permission to strike.
Invalidation is humility — stand down immediately.
A lion doesn’t chase every shadow.
A lion waits until the prey is committed — then ends it.
🦁👑 BK AK–KING QUAZI — execute with proof. 👑🦁
Gd bless. 🙏
🔥 SMC Reversal Engine v3.5 – Clean FVG + DashboardSMC Reversal Engine v3.5 – Clean FVG + Dashboard
The SMC Reversal Engine is a precision-built Smart Money Concepts tool designed to help traders understand market structure the single most important foundation in reading price action. It reveals how institutions move liquidity, where structure shifts occur, and how Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) align with these changes to signal potential reversals or continuations.
Understanding How It Works
At its core, the script detects CHoCH (Change of Character) and BOS (Break of Structure)—the two key turning points in institutional order flow. A CHoCH shows that the market has reversed intent (for example, from bearish to bullish), while a BOS confirms a continuation of the current trend. Together, they form the backbone of structure-based trading.
To refine this logic, the engine uses fractal pivots clusters of candles that confirm swing highs and lows. Fractals filter out noise, identifying points where price truly changes direction. The script lets you set this sensitivity manually or automatically adapts it depending on the timeframe. Lower fractal sensitivity captures smaller intraday swings for scalpers, while higher sensitivity locks onto major swing structures for swing and position traders.
The dashboard gives you a real-time reading of the trend, the last high and low, and what the market is likely to do next—for example, “Expect HL” or “Wait for LH.” It even tracks the accuracy of these structure predictions over time, giving an educational feedback loop to help you learn price behavior.
Fair Value Gaps and Tap Entries
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) mark moments when price moves too quickly, leaving inefficiencies that institutions often revisit. When price taps into an FVG, it often acts as a high-probability entry zone for reversals or continuations. The script automatically detects, extends, and deletes old FVGs, keeping only relevant zones visible for a clean chart.
Traders can enable markTapEntry to visually confirm when an FVG gets filled. This is a simple but powerful trigger that often aligns with CHoCH or BOS moments.
Recommended Settings for Different Traders
For Scalpers, use a lower HTF structure such as 1 minute or 5 minutes. Keep Auto Fractals on for faster reaction, and limit FVG zones to 2–3. This gives you a clean, real-time reflection of order flow.
For Intraday Traders, 15-minute to 1-hour structure gives the perfect balance between reactivity and stability. Fractal sensitivity around 3–5 captures the most actionable levels without excessive noise.
For Swing Traders, use 4-hour, 1-day, or even 3-day structure. The chart becomes smoother, showing higher-order CHoCH and BOS that define true institutional transitions. Combine this with EMA confirmation for higher conviction.
For Position or Macro Traders, select Weekly or Monthly structure. The dynamic label system expands automatically to keep more historical BOS/CHoCH points visible, allowing you to see long-term shifts clearly.
Educational Value
This indicator is built to teach traders how to see structure the way professionals and smart money do. You’ll learn to recognize how markets transition from one phase to another from accumulation to manipulation to expansion. Each CHoCH or BOS helps you decode where liquidity is being taken and where new intent begins.
The included SMC Quick Guide explains each structural cue right on your chart. Within days of using it, you’ll start noticing patterns that reveal how price really moves, instead of guessing based on indicators.
Settings and How to Use Them
Everything in the SMC Reversal Engine is designed to adapt to your trading style and help you read structure like a professional.
When you open the Inputs Panel, you’ll see sections like Fractal Settings, FVG Settings, Buy/Sell Confirmation, and Educational Tools.
Under Fractal Settings, you can choose the higher timeframe (HTF) that defines structure—from minutes to weeks. The Auto Fractal Sensitivity option automatically adjusts how tight or wide swing points are detected. Lower sensitivity captures short-term fluctuations (great for scalpers), while higher values filter noise and isolate major swing highs and lows (perfect for swing traders).
The Fair Value Gap (FVG) options manage imbalance zones—the footprints of institutional orders. You can show or hide these zones, extend them into the future, and control how long they remain before auto-deletion. The Mark Entry When FVG is Tapped option places a small label when price revisits the gap—a potential entry signal that aligns with smart money logic.
EMA Confirmation adds a layer of confluence. The script can automatically scale EMA lengths based on timeframe, or you can input your preferred values (for example, 9/21 for intraday, 50/200 for swing). Require EMA Crossover Confirmation helps filter false moves, keeping you trading only with aligned momentum.
The Educational section gives traders visual reinforcement. When enabled, you’ll see tags like HH (Higher High), HL (Higher Low), LH (Lower High), and LL (Lower Low). These show structure shifts in real time, helping you learn visually what market structure really means. The Cheat Sheet panel summarizes each term, always visible in the corner for quick reference.
Early Top Warnings use wick size and RSI divergence to signal when price may be overextended—a useful heads-up before potential CHoCH formations.
Finally, the Narrative and Accuracy System translates structure into simple English—messages like Trend Bullish → Wait for HL or BOS Bearish → Expect LL. Over time, you can monitor how accurate these expectations have been, training your pattern recognition and confidence.
Pro Tips for Getting the Most Out of the SMC Reversal Engine
1. Start on Higher Timeframes First: Begin on the 4H or Daily chart where structure is cleaner and signals have more weight. Then scale down for entries once you grasp directional intent.
2. Use FVGs for Context, Not Just Entries: Observe how price behaves around unfilled FVGs—they often act as magnets or barriers, offering insight into where liquidity lies.
3. Combine With HTF Bias: Always trade in the direction of your higher timeframe trend. A bullish weekly BOS means lower timeframes should ideally align bullishly for optimal setups.
4. Clean Charts = Clear Mind: Use Minimal Mode when focusing on price action, then toggle the educational tools back on to review structure for learning.
5. Don’t Chase Every CHoCH or BOS: Focus on significant breaks that align with broader context and liquidity sweeps, not minor fluctuations.
6. Accuracy Rate Is a Feedback Tool: Use the accuracy stat as a reflection of consistency—not a trade trigger.
7. Build Narrative Awareness: Read the on-chart narrative messages to reinforce structured thinking and stay disciplined.
8. Practice Replay Mode: Step through past structures to visually connect CHoCH, BOS, and FVG behavior. It’s one of the best ways to train pattern recognition.
Summary
* Detects CHoCH and BOS automatically with fractal precision
* Identifies and manages Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) in real time
* Displays a smart dashboard with accuracy tracking
* Adapts label visibility dynamically by timeframe
* Perfect for both learning and trading with institutional clarity
This tool isn’t about predicting the market—it’s about understanding it. Once you can read structure, everything else in trading becomes secondary.
PowerHouse SwiftEdge AI v2.10 StrategyOverview
The PowerHouse SwiftEdge AI v2.10 Strategy is a sophisticated trading system designed to identify high-probability trade setups in forex, stocks, and cryptocurrencies. By combining multi-timeframe trend analysis, momentum signals, volume confirmation, and smart money concepts (Change of Character and Break of Structure ), this strategy offers traders a robust tool to capitalize on market trends while minimizing false signals. The strategy’s unique “AI” component analyzes trends across multiple timeframes to provide a clear, actionable dashboard, making it accessible for both novice and experienced traders. The strategy is fully customizable, allowing users to tailor its filters to their trading style.
What It Does
This strategy generates Buy and Sell signals based on a confluence of technical indicators and smart money concepts. It uses:
Multi-Timeframe Trend Analysis: Confirms the market’s direction by analyzing trends on the 1-hour (60M), 4-hour (240M), and daily (D) timeframes.
Momentum Filter: Ensures trades align with strong price movements to avoid choppy markets.
Volume Filter: Validates signals with above-average volume to confirm market participation.
Breakout Filter: Requires price to break key levels for added confirmation.
Smart Money Signals (CHoCH/BOS): Identifies reversals (CHoCH) and trend continuations (BOS) based on pivot points.
AI Trend Dashboard: Summarizes trend strength, confidence, and predictions across timeframes, helping traders make informed decisions without needing to analyze complex data manually.
The strategy also plots dynamic support and resistance trendlines, take-profit (TP) levels, and “Get Ready” signals to alert users of potential setups before they fully develop. Trades are executed with predefined take-profit and stop-loss levels for disciplined risk management.
How It Works
The strategy integrates multiple components to create a cohesive trading system:
Multi-Timeframe Trend Analysis:
The strategy evaluates trends on three timeframes (1H, 4H, Daily) using Exponential Moving Averages (EMA) and Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP). A trend is considered bullish if the price is above both the EMA and VWAP, bearish if below, or neutral otherwise.
Signals are only generated when the trend on the user-selected higher timeframe aligns with the trade direction (e.g., Buy signals require a bullish higher timeframe trend). This reduces noise and ensures trades follow the broader market context.
Momentum Filter:
Measures the percentage price change between consecutive bars and compares it to a volatility-adjusted threshold (based on the Average True Range ). This ensures trades are taken only during significant price movements, filtering out low-momentum conditions.
Volume Filter (Optional):
Checks if the current volume exceeds a long-term average and shows positive short-term volume change. This confirms strong market participation, reducing the risk of false breakouts.
Breakout Filter (Optional):
Requires the price to break above (for Buy) or below (for Sell) recent highs/lows, ensuring the signal aligns with a structural shift in the market.
Smart Money Concepts (CHoCH/BOS):
Change of Character (CHoCH): Detects potential reversals when the price crosses under a recent pivot high (for Sell) or over a recent pivot low (for Buy) with a bearish or bullish candle, respectively.
Break of Structure (BOS): Confirms trend continuations when the price breaks below a recent pivot low (for Sell) or above a recent pivot high (for Buy) with strong momentum.
These signals are plotted as horizontal lines with labels, making it easy to visualize key levels.
AI Trend Dashboard:
Combines trend direction, momentum, and volatility (ATR) across timeframes to calculate a trend score. Scores above 0.5 indicate an “Up” trend, below -0.5 indicate a “Down” trend, and otherwise “Neutral.”
Displays a table summarizing trend strength (as a percentage), AI confidence (based on trend alignment), and Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) for market context.
A second table (optional) shows trend predictions for 1H, 4H, and Daily timeframes, helping traders anticipate future market direction.
Dynamic Trendlines:
Plots support and resistance lines based on recent swing lows and highs within user-defined periods (shortTrendPeriod, longTrendPeriod). These lines adapt to market conditions and are colored based on trend strength.
Why This Combination?
The PowerHouse SwiftEdge AI v2.10 Strategy is original because it seamlessly integrates traditional technical analysis (EMA, VWAP, ATR, volume) with smart money concepts (CHoCH, BOS) and a proprietary AI-driven trend analysis. Unlike standalone indicators, this strategy:
Reduces False Signals: By requiring confluence across trend, momentum, volume, and breakout filters, it minimizes trades in choppy or low-conviction markets.

Multi Timeframe Market Structure ContinuationOverview
This indicator identifies Break of Structure (BOS) and Change of Character (ChoCh) patterns using multi-timeframe (MTF) analysis to filter high-probability trade setups. By aligning lower timeframe signals with higher timeframe bias, it helps traders enter positions in the direction of the dominant trend while avoiding counter-trend traps.
Multi-Timeframe Analysis
The indicator analyzes market structure on two timeframes simultaneously:
Current Timeframe (CTF): Detects immediate BOS and ChoCh signals for entry timing
Higher Timeframe (HTF): Establishes the overall trend direction (default: 1H, customizable)
Signals only appear when the current timeframe structure aligns with the higher timeframe bias, ensuring you're trading with the momentum, not against it.
Break of Structure (BOS)
BOS signals indicate trend continuation - when price breaks a previous high in an uptrend or a previous low in a downtrend. These are reliable entries that confirm the trend is still active and strong.
Change of Character (ChoCh)
ChoCh signals mark early trend reversals - when market structure shifts from bearish to bullish (or vice versa). When captured in alignment with the higher timeframe trend, ChoCh entries can achieve exceptional risk-to-reward ratios as they allow entry near the beginning of a new impulse move.
Exit Signals
Exit signals are plotted when a ChoCh occurs in the opposite direction of the HTF trend. For example, if the HTF is bullish and a bearish ChoCh forms on the current timeframe, an orange "EXIT" signal appears - warning long traders that the lower timeframe structure is shifting against them. This provides an early warning system to protect profits or minimize losses before the HTF trend itself reverses.
Trading Strategy Recommendations
Trending Markets (Recommended)
In strong trending conditions, both BOS and ChoCh signals can be taken when aligned with the HTF bias. ChoCh entries are particularly powerful as they catch early reversals within the larger trend, offering entries with tight stop losses and extended profit targets.
Ranging Markets
During consolidation or choppy conditions, it's best to be selective and take only BOS entries. BOS signals confirm that the trend is continuing beyond the range, reducing false breakouts and whipsaw trades that are common with counter-trend ChoCh signals in sideways markets.
Customization
Pivot Length: Adjust the sensitivity of structure detection (default: 5). Lower values detect structure more frequently with earlier but potentially noisier signals. Higher values provide cleaner, more significant structural breaks but with some delay.
Higher Timeframe: Customize the HTF to suit your trading style. Day traders might use 1H HTF on 5m charts, while swing traders could use 4H or Daily HTF.
Alert System
Six alert conditions available:
Long BOS Entry / Long ChoCh Entry
Short BOS Entry / Short ChoCh Entry
Long Exit / Short Exit
All alerts fire only on confirmed candle closes to eliminate repainting and false signals.

PowerHouse SwiftEdge AI v2.10 with Custom Filters & AI AnalysisPowerHouse SwiftEdge AI v2.10 with Custom Filters & AI Analysis
Overview
PowerHouse SwiftEdge AI v2.10 is an advanced TradingView Pine Script indicator designed to identify high-probability trading setups by combining pivot-based structure analysis, multi-timeframe trend detection, and adaptive AI-driven signal filtering. The script integrates Change of Character (CHoCH) and Break of Structure (BOS) signals with customizable momentum, volume, breakout, and trend filters to enhance trade precision. Additionally, it offers an optional AI Market Analysis module that predicts future price trends across multiple timeframes, providing traders with a comprehensive market outlook.
The script is highly customizable, allowing users to tailor inputs to their trading style, whether for scalping, swing trading, or long-term strategies. It is suitable for all asset classes, including stocks, forex, crypto, and commodities, and performs optimally on timeframes ranging from 1-minute to daily charts.
Key Features
Pivot-Based Signal Generation:
Identifies pivot highs and lows to detect CHoCH (reversal patterns) and BOS (continuation patterns).
Signals are plotted as "Buy" or "Sell" labels with optional "Get Ready" pre-signals to prepare traders for potential setups.
Take-profit (TP) levels are automatically calculated based on user-defined points, with optional TP box visualization.
Multi-Timeframe Trend Analysis:
Analyzes trends across seven timeframes (1M, 5M, 15M, 30M, 1H, 4H, D) using EMA and VWAP to determine bullish, bearish, or neutral conditions.
Displays a futuristic AI-Trend Matrix dashboard showing trend direction, strength, and confidence levels for quick decision-making.
Customizable Signal Filters:
Momentum Filter: Ensures signals align with significant price changes, adjusted dynamically using ATR-based volatility.
Higher Timeframe Trend Filter: Requires signals to align with the trend of a user-selected higher timeframe (e.g., 1H).
Lower Timeframe Trend Filter: Prevents signals that conflict with the trend of a user-selected lower timeframe (e.g., 5M).
Volume Filter: Optionally requires above-average volume to confirm signals.
Breakout Filter: Optionally requires price to break previous highs/lows for signal validation.
Repeated Signal Restriction: Prevents consecutive signals in the same trend direction until the trend changes on a user-defined timeframe.
AI-Driven Adaptivity:
Incorporates Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) to assess buying/selling pressure and classify market volatility (Low, Medium, High).
Uses ATR to dynamically adjust momentum thresholds, ensuring signals adapt to current market conditions.
Optional AI Market Analysis module predicts trends across multiple timeframes by combining trend, momentum, and volatility scores.
Visual Elements:
Plots CHoCH and BOS levels as horizontal lines with distinct colors (aqua for CHoCH sell, lime for CHoCH buy, fuchsia for BOS sell, teal for BOS buy).
Draws dynamic support and resistance trendlines based on short and long-term price action, colored by trend strength.
Displays TP levels and pivot highs/lows for easy reference.
How It Works
The script combines several technical analysis concepts to create a robust trading system:
Market Structure Analysis:
Pivot highs and lows are identified using a user-defined lookback period (Pivot Length).
CHoCH occurs when price crosses below a pivot high (bearish reversal) or above a pivot low (bullish reversal).
BOS occurs when price breaks a previous pivot low (bearish continuation) or pivot high (bullish continuation).
Trend and Momentum Integration:
Trends are determined by comparing price to EMA and VWAP on multiple timeframes.
Momentum is calculated as the percentage price change, with thresholds adjusted by ATR to account for volatility.
"Get Ready" signals appear when momentum approaches the threshold, preparing traders for potential CHoCH or BOS signals.
Signal Filtering:
Filters ensure signals align with user-defined criteria (e.g., trend direction, volume, breakouts).
The Restrict Repeated Signals option prevents over-signaling by requiring a trend change on a specified timeframe before generating a new signal in the same direction.
AI Market Analysis:
The optional AI module calculates a score for each timeframe based on trend direction, momentum, and volatility (ATR compared to its SMA).
Scores are translated into predictions (▲ for bullish, ▼ for bearish, — for neutral), displayed in a dedicated table.
CVD and Volatility Context:
CVD tracks buying vs. selling pressure by accumulating volume based on price direction.
Volatility is classified using CVD magnitude, influencing the script’s visual cues and signal sensitivity.
Why This Combination?
The integration of pivot-based structure analysis, multi-timeframe trend filtering, and AI-driven adaptivity addresses common trading challenges:
Precision: CHoCH and BOS signals focus on key market turning points, reducing noise from minor price fluctuations.
Context: Multi-timeframe analysis ensures trades align with broader market trends, improving win rates.
Adaptivity: ATR and CVD adjustments make the script responsive to changing market conditions, avoiding static thresholds that fail in volatile or quiet markets.
Customization: Extensive input options allow traders to adapt the script to their preferred markets, timeframes, and risk profiles.
Predictive Insight: The AI Market Analysis module provides forward-looking trend predictions, helping traders anticipate market moves.
This combination creates a self-contained system that balances responsiveness with reliability, making it suitable for both novice and experienced traders.

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

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.

Credits
This indicator is a modified version of an open-source tool originally developed by Lux Algo. I literally modded their indicator to create the DTFX Algo Zones version, incorporating additional features and refinements. Special thanks to Lux Algo for their original work and for providing the open-source code that made this development possible.
Introduction
DTFX Algo Zones is a technical analysis indicator designed to automatically identify key supply and demand zones on your chart using market structure and Fibonacci retracements. It helps traders spot high-probability reversal areas and important support/resistance levels at a glance. By detecting shifts in market structure (such as Break of Structure and Change of Character) and highlighting bullish or bearish zones dynamically, this tool provides an intuitive framework for planning trades. The goal is to save traders time and improve decision-making by focusing attention on the most critical price zones where market bias may confirm or reverse.
Logic & Features
• Market Structure Shift Detection (BOS & CHoCH): The indicator continuously monitors price swings and marks significant structure shifts. A Break of Structure (BOS) occurs when price breaks above a previous swing high or below a swing low, indicating a continuation of the current trend. A Change of Character (ChoCH) is detected when price breaks in the opposite direction of the prior trend, often signaling an early trend reversal. These moments are visually marked on the chart, serving as anchor points for new zones. By identifying BOS and ChoCH in real-time, the DTFX Algo Zones indicator ensures you’re aware of key trend changes as they happen.
• Auto-Drawn Fibonacci Supply/Demand Zones: Upon a valid structure shift, the indicator plots a Fibonacci-based zone between the breakout point and the preceding swing high/low (the source of the move). This creates a shaded area or band of Fibonacci retracement levels (for example 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, etc.) representing a potential support zone in an uptrend or resistance zone in a downtrend. These supply/demand zones are derived from the natural retracement of the breakout move, highlighting where price is likely to pull back. Each zone is essentially an auto-generated Fibonacci retracement region tied to a market structure event, which traders can use to anticipate where the next pullback or bounce might occur.
• Dynamic Bullish and Bearish Zones: The DTFX Algo Zones indicator distinguishes bullish vs. bearish zones and updates them dynamically as new price action unfolds. Bullish zones (formed after bullish BOS/ChoCH) are typically highlighted in one color (e.g. green or blue) to indicate areas of demand/support where price may bounce upward. Bearish zones (formed after bearish BOS/ChoCH) are shown in another color (e.g. red/orange) to mark supply/resistance where price may stall or reverse downward. This color-coding and real-time updating allow traders to instantly recognize the market bias: for instance, a series of bullish zones implies an uptrend with multiple support levels on pullbacks, while consecutive bearish zones indicate a downtrend with resistance overhead. As old zones get invalidated or new ones appear, the chart remains current with the latest key levels, eliminating clutter from outdated levels.
• Flexible Customization: The indicator comes with several options to tailor the zones to your trading style. You can filter which zones to display – for example, show only the most recent N zones or limit to only bullish or only bearish zones – helping declutter the chart and focus on recent, relevant levels. There are settings to control zone extension (how far into the future the zones are drawn) and to automatically invalidate zones once they’re no longer relevant (for instance, if price fully breaks through a zone or a new structure shift occurs that supersedes it). Additionally, the Fibonacci retracement levels within each zone are customizable: you can choose which retracement percentages to plot, adjust their colors or line styles, and decide whether to fill the zone area for visibility. This flexibility ensures the DTFX Algo Zones can be tuned for different markets and strategies, whether you want a clean minimalist look or detailed zones with multiple internal levels.
Best Use Cases
DTFX Algo Zones is a versatile indicator that can enhance various trading strategies. Some of its best use cases include:
• Identifying High-Probability Reversal Zones: Each zone marks an area where price has a higher likelihood of stalling or reversing because it reflects a significant prior swing and Fibonacci retracement. Traders can watch these zones for entry opportunities when the market approaches them, as they often coincide with order block or strong supply/demand areas. This is especially useful for catching trend reversals or pullbacks at points where risk is lower and potential reward is higher.
• Spotting Key Support and Resistance: The automatically drawn zones act as dynamic support (below price) and resistance (above price) levels. Instead of manually drawing Fibonacci retracements or support/resistance lines, you get an instant map of the key levels derived from recent price action. This helps in quickly identifying where the next bounce (support) or rejection (resistance) might occur. Swing traders and intraday traders alike can use these zones to set alerts or anticipate reaction areas as the market moves.
• Trend-Following Entries: In a trending market, the indicator’s zones provide ideal areas to join the trend on pullbacks. For example, in an uptrend, when a new bullish zone is drawn after a BOS, it indicates a fresh demand zone – buying near the lower end of that zone on a pullback can offer a low-risk entry to ride the next leg up. Similarly, in a downtrend, selling rallies into the highlighted supply zones can position you in the direction of the prevailing trend. The zones effectively serve as a roadmap of the trend’s structure, allowing trend traders to buy dips and sell rallies with greater confidence.
• Mean-Reversion and Range Trading: Even in choppy or range-bound markets, DTFX Algo Zones can help find mean-reversion trades. If price is oscillating sideways, the zones at extremes of the range might mark where momentum is shifting (ChoCH) and price could swing back toward the mean. A trader might fade an extended move when it reaches a strong zone, anticipating a reversion. Additionally, if multiple zones cluster in an area across time (creating a zone overlap), it often signifies a particularly robust support/resistance level ideal for range trading strategies.
In all these use cases, the indicator’s ability to filter out noise and highlight structurally important levels means traders can focus on higher-probability setups and make more informed trading decisions.
Strategy – Pullback Trading with DTFX Algo Zones
One of the most effective ways to use the DTFX Algo Zones indicator is trading pullbacks in the direction of the trend. Below is a step-by-step strategy to capitalize on pullbacks using the zones, combining the indicator’s signals with sound price action analysis and risk management:
1. Identify a Market Structure Shift and Trend Bias: First, observe the chart for a recent BOS or ChoCH signal from the indicator. This will tell you the current trend bias. For instance, a bullish BOS/ChoCH means the market momentum has shifted upward (bullish bias), and a new demand zone will be drawn. A bearish structure break indicates downward momentum and creates a supply zone. Make sure the broader context supports the bias (e.g., if multiple higher timeframe zones are bullish, focus on long trades).
2. Wait for the Pullback into the Zone: Once a new zone appears, don’t chase the price immediately. Instead, wait for price to retrace back into that highlighted zone. Patience is key – let the market come to you. For a bullish setup, allow price to dip into the Fibonacci retracement zone (demand area); for a bearish setup, watch for a rally into the supply zone. Often, the middle of the zone (around the 50% retracement level) can be an optimal area where price might slow down and pivot, but it’s wise to observe price behavior across the entire zone.
3. Confirm the Entry with Price Action & Confluence: As price tests the zone, look for confirmation signals before entering the trade. This can include bullish reversal candlestick patterns (for longs) or bearish patterns (for shorts) such as engulfing candles, hammers/shooting stars, or doji indicating indecision turning to reversal. Additionally, incorporate confluence factors to strengthen the setup: for example, check if the zone overlaps with a key moving average, a round number price level, or an old support/resistance line from a higher timeframe. You might also use an oscillator (like RSI or Stochastic) to see if the pullback has reached oversold conditions in a bullish zone (or overbought in a bearish zone), suggesting a bounce is likely. The more factors aligning at the zone, the more confidence you can have in the trade. Only proceed with an entry once you see clear evidence of buyers defending a demand zone or sellers defending a supply zone.
4. Enter the Trade and Manage Risk: When you’re satisfied with the confirmation (e.g., price starts to react positively off a demand zone or shows rejection wicks in a supply zone), execute your entry in the direction of the original trend. Immediately set a stop-loss order to control risk: for a long trade, a common placement is just below the demand zone (a few ticks/pips under the swing low that formed the zone); for a short trade, place the stop just above the supply zone’s high. This way, if the zone fails and price continues beyond it, your loss is limited. Position size the trade so that this stop-loss distance corresponds to a risk you are comfortable with (for example, 1-2% of your trading capital).
5. Take Profit Strategically: Plan your take-profit targets in advance. A conservative approach is to target the origin of the move – for instance, in a long trade, you might take profit as price moves back up to the swing high (the 0% Fibonacci level of the zone) or the next significant zone or resistance level above. This often yields at least a 1:1 reward-to-risk ratio if you entered around mid-zone. More aggressive trend-following traders may leave a portion of the position running beyond the initial target, aiming for a larger move in line with the trend (for example, new higher highs in an uptrend). You can also trail your stop-loss upward behind new higher lows (for longs) or lower highs (for shorts) as the trend progresses, locking in profit while allowing for further gains.
6. Monitor Zone Invalidation: Even after entering, keep an eye on the behavior around the zone and any new zones that may form. If price fails to bounce and instead breaks decisively through the entire zone, respect that as an invalidation – the market may be signaling a deeper reversal or that the signal was false. In such a case, it’s better to exit early or stick to your stop-loss than to hold onto a losing position. The indicator will often mark or no longer highlight zones that have been invalidated by price, guiding you to shift focus to the next opportunity.
Risk Management Tips:
• Always use a stop-loss and don’t move it farther out in hope. Placing the stop just beyond the zone’s far end (the swing point) helps protect you if the pullback turns into a larger reversal.
• Aim for a favorable risk-to-reward ratio. With pullback entries near the middle or far end of a zone, you can often achieve a reward that equals or exceeds your risk. For example, risking 20 pips to make 20+ pips (1:1 or better) is a prudent starting point. Adjust targets based on market structure – if the next resistance is 50 pips away, consider that upside against your risk.
• Use confluence and context: Don’t take every zone signal in isolation. The highest probability trades come when the DTFX Algo Zone aligns with other analysis (trend direction, chart patterns, higher timeframe support/resistance, etc.). This filtered approach will reduce trades taken in weak zones or counter-trend traps.
• Embrace patience and selectivity: Not all zones are equal. It can be wise to skip very narrow or insignificant zones and wait for those that form after a strong BOS/ChoCH (indicating a powerful move). Larger zones or zones formed during high-volume times tend to produce more reliable pullback opportunities.
• Review and adapt: After each trade, note how price behaved around the zone. If you notice certain Fib levels (like 50% or 61.8%) within the zone consistently provide the best entries, you can refine your approach to focus on those. Similarly, adjust the indicator’s settings if needed – for example, if too many minor zones are cluttering your screen, limit to the last few or increase the structure length parameter to capture only more significant swings.
⸻
By combining the DTFX Algo Zones indicator with disciplined confirmation and risk management, traders can improve their timing on pullback entries and avoid chasing moves. This indicator shines in helping you trade what you see, not what you feel – the clearly marked zones and structure shifts keep you grounded in price action reality. Whether you’re a trend trader looking to buy the dip/sell the rally, or a reversal trader hunting for exhaustion points, DTFX Algo Zones provides a robust visual aid to elevate your trading decisions. Use it as a complementary tool in your analysis to stay on the right side of the market’s structure and enhance your trading performance.
Dabel MS + FVGThis script is designed to assist traders by identifying market structures, imbalances, and potential trade opportunities using Break of Structure (BOS) and Market Structure Shifts (MSS). It visually highlights imbalances in price action, key pivots, and market structure changes, providing actionable information for making trading decisions.
Key features:
Imbalances Detection: Highlights bullish and bearish price gaps (Fair Value Gaps) using colored boxes. Users can choose the line style (solid, dashed, or dotted) for imbalance midlines.
Market Structure Analysis: Tracks pivot highs and lows to identify BOS and MSS in two separate market structures with adjustable pivot strengths.
Customizable Visualization: Allows users to choose line styles, colors, and display options for both imbalances and market structures.
Alerts: Alerts traders when BOS or MSS occur, helping to monitor the market effectively.
Trading Strategy
Imbalance Trading:
Imbalances (gaps) represent areas where supply or demand was left unfilled. These gaps often act as magnet zones where the price revisits to fill.
Bullish Imbalance: Look for buying opportunities when price enters a green imbalance zone.
Bearish Imbalance: Look for selling opportunities when price enters a red imbalance zone.
Use the midline of the imbalance box as a key reference point for potential reversals.
Break of Structure (BOS) and Market Structure Shift (MSS):
BOS: Indicates a continuation of the existing trend. For example:
Bullish BOS: Look for continuation in the uptrend after a high is broken.
Bearish BOS: Look for continuation in the downtrend after a low is broken.
MSS: Suggests a potential reversal in market structure. For example:
Bullish MSS: Indicates a possible shift from a bearish to bullish market.
Bearish MSS: Indicates a potential shift from a bullish to bearish market.
Multiple Market Structures:
This script provide two sets of market structures, allowing traders to compare short-term and long-term trends.
Adjust the pivot strength to suit your trading style (lower for intraday trading, higher for swing or positional trading).
Entry and Exit:
Entry: Look for entries near imbalances or after confirmed BOS/MSS in line with the overall trend.
Exit: Place stop-loss below/above recent pivots and take profit at nearby support/resistance or imbalance zones.
For New Traders
Focus on Basics: Understand what BOS and MSS mean and how they signal trend direction or reversals.
Use Alerts: Rely on the script's alert system to catch important moments without staring at charts all day.
Start Small: Test this strategy on a demo account before using it live. You can understand it more with practice.
Market Structure Trailing Stop [BigBeluga]The Market Structure Trailing Stop indicator is an advanced tool for identifying market structure shifts, liquidity sweeps, and potential trend reversals using comprehensive volume analysis. This indicator combines the analysis of market structure pivots (CHoCH - Change of Character) with a sophisticated volume-based trailing stop logic. By evaluating delta volume at key structural points, it allows traders to identify high-probability trend continuations or reversals and manage their trades more effectively.
🔵 KEY FEATURES
● Market Structure Analysis
Pivot-Based Market Structure : The indicator identifies high and lows using user-defined periods, allowing traders to spot key market structure shifts.
Change of Character (CHoCH) : The first significant break of a market structure is marked as a CHoCH, indicating a potential trend reversal.
Break of Structure (BoS) : The indicator highlights subsequent breaks of structure after CHoCH, providing traders with crucial insights into trend strength.
● Advanced Volume Analysis
Delta Volume Evaluation : The indicator calculates delta volume (difference between up and down volume) at each ChoCh or BoS market structure point to assess the strength of the move. Identify Delta Volume from break point back to Pivot
● Trailing Stop Logic
Volume-Validated Trailing Stop : The indicator automatically plots a trailing stop if the delta volume at the UP CHoCH is positive and above the defined threshold and vice versa for Down CHoCH , allowing traders to protect their profits while riding the trend.
Trend Weakness Detection : If a subsequent BoS occurs with negative delta volume or lower volume than the input threshold, the trailing stop disappears, indicating potential trend exhaustion or reversal.
Dynamic Stop Placement : The trailing stop is dynamically adjusted based on market structure and volume, providing traders with a more adaptive stop-loss strategy.
Up Trend Trailing Stop:
Down Trend Trailing Stop:
● Liquidity Sweep Detection
Liquidity Sweep (X) Labels : The indicator identifies liquidity sweeps—points where the price temporarily reverses to sweep liquidity above or below a key level—marked with an “X” label.
Potential Reversal Zones : These liquidity sweeps are potential reversal zones, especially when accompanied by significant delta volume changes, providing traders with early warnings of potential trend reversals.
🔵 HOW TO USE
● Identifying Market Structure Shifts
Change of Character (CHoCH) : When a CHoCH occurs, the indicator calculates the total volume from the high point to the break point. If the delta volume is positive and exceeds the input threshold, a trailing stop is plotted, signaling potential trend continuation.
Break of Structure (BoS) : If BoS is enabled, subsequent breaks of structure are highlighted. If these BoS points show weaker volume or negative delta volume, the trailing stop will disappear, indicating that the trend may be losing strength.
● Using the Trailing Stop Feature
Protecting Profits : Once a CHoCH occurs and the delta volume validates the trend, the trailing stop will be plotted below (or above) the price to protect profits while allowing the trend to run.
Trend Reversal Signals : If the trailing stop disappears due to weak volume at subsequent BoS points, it may signal that the trend is losing momentum, and traders may consider closing their positions or tightening their stops manually.
● Liquidity Sweep Interpretation
Spotting Reversal Zones : Liquidity sweeps, marked with an “X” label, indicate zones where the price has swept liquidity. These areas can serve as potential reversal zones, especially when significant delta volume is observed at these points.
Early Reversal Warnings : Traders can use these liquidity sweep labels as early warnings for potential trend reversals, particularly in conjunction with other technical analysis methods.
🔵 CUSTOMIZATION
Highs and Lows Calculation : Customize the number of bars to the left and right for identifying pivots and market structure shifts.
Volume Threshold : Define the volume threshold to filter out weaker moves and focus on significant market structure shifts.
BoS and Liquidity Sweep Labels : Toggle on or off the BoS and Liquidity Sweep labels to tailor the indicator to your trading style.
Trend Color : Enable or disable trend coloring for candles to visually highlight uptrends and downtrends on the chart.
🔵 CONCLUSION
The Market Structure Trailing Stop indicator combines advanced volume analysis with market structure detection to provide traders with a powerful tool for identifying and managing trends. By leveraging delta volume at key structure points, it helps traders validate trend strength and manage their positions with a dynamic trailing stop strategy. The addition of liquidity sweep detection further enhances its utility, offering early warnings of potential trend reversals. This indicator is ideal for traders who want to gain a deeper understanding of market structure while incorporating volume-based insights into their trading strategies.

Liquidity & inducementsHi all!
This indicator will show liquidity and inducements.
I will continue to try to add different types of liquidity and inducements, at this moment it contains 6 kinds of liquidity/inducement, they are:
• Grabs
• Big grabs
• Sweeps
• Turtle soups
• Equal highs/lows (liquidity and inducement)
• BSL & SSL
And 1 type of inducement:
• Retracement
This description will contain indicator examples of each individual liquidity and inducement. They will all be with the default settings.
Settings
First you will find settings for the market structure (BOS/CHoCH/CHoCH+). Select left and right pivot lengths and if the pivots should have a label or not.
This is the base foundation of this indicator and is possible with my library 'PriceAction' ().
You will see solid lines for break of structures (BOS), change of characters (CHoCH) and change of character plus (CHoCH+).
The pivots found will be the core of this indicator and will show you when the closing price breaks it. When that happens a break of structure (BOS) or a change of character (CHoCH or CHoCH+) will be created. The latest 5 pivots found within the current trend will be kept to take action on.
A break of structure is removed if an earlier pivot within the same trend is broken and the pivot's high price for a bullish trend or low price for a bearish trend is more extreme than the BOS pivot's price.
You are able to show the pivots that are used. "HH" (higher high), "HL" (higher low), "LH" (lower high), "LL" (lower low) and "H"/"L" (for pivots (high/low) when the trend has changed) are the labels used.
In the next section ('Liquidity ($$$)') you can select which types of liquidity you want to see. Note that 'Equal highs/lows' can also show inducement (more on that later).
In the section afterwards ('Inducement (IDM)') you can select if you want retracement inducements to be visible or not. More information on what they are later on.
The section for each individual liquidity and/or inducement can first contain a line named 'Pivot', where you can set the pivot lengths (first left, then right). Then you can set the 'Lookback', which means that the 'Lookback' number of past pivots is to take action on. After that you set the 'Timeframe' for the pivots used. That means that all available liquidity/inducements will be from your desired timeframe. Lastly you set the color of the liquidity/inducement (either a single color or bullish followed by bearish colors).
Lastly in the settings you can select the font sizes for the market structure and liquidity/inducements and what style liquidity/inducements lines will have. The sizes defaults to 7 and has a dotted line look.
Grabs
Liquidity grabs and liquidity sweeps are very similar. It all depends on if the current bar closed above/below the liquidity pivot and on if its a continuation or reversal. In a liquidity grab the bar that's above or below the liquidity pivot was not closed above or below it. Like this:
Or
The visual feedback will be a dotted line between the liquidity pivot and liquidity grab bar and a linefill between the high of the liquidity grab bar and the liquidity pivot.
Indicator example:
Big grabs
This is another 'grabs' option. You can show an additional grab if you want to. I suggest having this grab from a higher timeframe or with larger pivot lengths than the other grab.
The default is with the chart timeframe and 10/10 as pivot lengths.
Indicator example:
Sweeps
A liquidity sweep is like a liquidity grab but with the difference that price closes above/below and has a continuation instead of a reversal. If the liquidity pivot was at the same bar as a BOS/CHoCH/CHoCH+ it will not be a liquidity grab but a structural break instead.
They can look like this:
Indicator example;
Turtle soups
If only one candle is beyond the pivot it could be a liquidity grab. It's a grab if price didn't close beyond the liquidity pivot, if so it's invaliditet. Turtle soups are basically false breakouts that takes liquidity (is a false breakout from a pivot with the lengths and timeframe from the settings).
The turtle soup can have a confirmation in the terms of a change of character (CHoCH). You can enable this in the settings section for 'Turtle soups' through the 'Confirmation' checkbox (enabled by default). The turtle soup strategy usually comes with some sort of confirmation, in this case a CHoCH, but it can also be a market structure shift (MSS) or a change in state of delivery (CISD).
The addition of turtle soups is possible through my script 'Turtle soup' ().
The drawing will be a dotted line between the liquidity pivot and the last bar of the false breakout and a box from the start of the false breakout to the end of it.
Indicator example:
Equal highs/lows
Equal highs/lows will always show liquidity, but might also show inducement. Inducement will be shown on equal lows if the trend is bullish and on equal highs if it's bearish, like this:
Or
Equal highs can only be created if the second pivot is lower than the first one. Equal lows can only be created if the second pivot is higher than the first one. If that is not the case it could be a liquidity grab.
When equal highs or equal lows are find that produces inducement (equal lows in a bullish trend and equal highs in a bearish trend), the indicator will first display inducement and will show liquidity once traders are induced to enter the security. Stop loss placement, for liquidity, is 0.1 * the average true range (ATR, of length 14). They will look like this:
Only inducement:
Inducement and liquidity:
Indicator example:
Equal highs/lows inducements can not be triggered after a BOS/CHoCH/CHoCH+. They are cleared upon a structural break.
BSL & SSL
Buyside liquidity (BSL) and sellside liquidity (SSL) will be shown. A pivot that's been mitigated (touched by price) can never be BSL or SSL. The BSL/SSL available will be dynamic while price moves (work in Replay and lower timeframes that moves fast) and pick the latest pivot/s (with left and right lengths from the 'Market structure' section). You can define how many BSL/SSL you want to see with a default value of 1, meaning only 1 BSL and 1 SSL can be shown. If there is no unmitigated high (BSL) or low (SSL), no BSL/SSL will be available to show. If there are BSL/SSL available they're very useful to use as targets for entering a trade.
The will look like this when available;
And without BSL available:
Or
And without SSL available:
Note that the examples without BSL/SSL available could have liquidity available from previous price legs.
This can be an example of a BSL/SSL sequence:
First both buyside and sellside liquidity is available:
Then a new low appears and new sellside liquidity is available:
Then buyside liquidity is mitigated, so only sellside liquidity is available:
A new high pivot appears and buyside liquidity is available again:
Lastly a bearish CHoCH happens and sellside liquidity is mitigated, only buyside liquidity is available:
Retracement
The first retracement after a BOS/CHoCH/CHoCH+ is considered an inducement with the mission to get traders into a trade prematurely to get stopped out. This level is shown and look like this:
Or
A retracement inducement is removed when a new BOS/CHoCH/CHoCH+ appears and it's not triggered.
---------------------------
As of now there aren't any alerts available. You cannot use the Pine Screener from Tradingview either to see new liquidity/inducement events. I have this planned for future updates though.
I hope that this long description makes sense, let me know otherwise! Also let me know if you experience any bugs or have a feature request or just want to share good settings to use.
Best of trading luck!
Dynamic Market Structure (MTF) - Dow TheoryDynamic Market Structure (MTF)
OVERVIEW
This advanced indicator provides a comprehensive and fully customizable solution for analyzing market structure based on classic Dow Theory principles. It automates the identification of key structural points, including Higher Highs (HH), Higher Lows (HL), Lower Lows (LL), and Lower Highs (LH).
Going beyond simple pivot detection, this tool visualizes the flow of the trend by plotting dynamic Breaks of Structure (BOS) and potential reversals with Changes of Character (CHoCH). It is designed to be a flexible and powerful tool for traders who use price action and trend analysis as a core part of their strategy.
CORE CONCEPTS
The indicator is built on the foundational principles of Dow Theory:
Uptrend: A series of Higher Highs and Higher Lows.
Downtrend: A series of Lower Lows and Lower Highs.
Break of Structure (BOS): Occurs when price action continues the current trend by creating a new HH in an uptrend or a new LL in a downtrend.
Change of Character (CHoCH): Occurs when the established trend sequence is broken, signaling a potential reversal. For example, when a Lower Low forms after a series of Higher Highs.
CALCULATION METHODOLOGY
This section explains the indicator's underlying logic:
Pivot Detection: The indicator's core logic is based on TradingView's built-in ta.pivothigh() and ta.pivotlow() functions. The sensitivity of this detection is fully controlled by the user via the Pivot Lookback Left and Pivot Lookback Right settings.
Structure Calculation (BOS/CHoCH): The script identifies market structure by analyzing the sequence of these confirmed pivots.
A bullish BOS is plotted when a new ta.pivothigh is confirmed at a price higher than the previous confirmed ta.pivothigh.
A bearish CHoCH is plotted when a new ta.pivotlow is confirmed at a price lower than the previous confirmed ta.pivotlow , breaking the established sequence of higher lows.
The logic is mirrored for bearish BOS and bullish CHoCH.
Invalidation Levels: This feature identifies the last confirmed pivot before a structure break (e.g., the last ta.pivotlow before a bullish BOS) and plots a dotted line from it to the breakout bar. This level is considered the structural invalidation point for that move.
MTF Confirmation: This unique feature provides confluence by analyzing a second, lower timeframe. When a pivot (e.g., a Higher Low) is confirmed on the main chart, the script requests pivot data from the user-selected lower timeframe. If a corresponding trend reversal is detected on that lower timeframe (e.g., a break of its own minor downtrend), the pivot is labeled "Firm" (FHL); otherwise, it is labeled "Soft" (SHL).
KEY FEATURES
This indicator is packed with advanced features designed to provide a deeper level of market insight:
Dynamic Structure Lines: BOS and CHoCH levels are plotted with clean, dashed lines that dynamically start at the old pivot and terminate precisely at the breakout bar, keeping the chart clean and precise.
Invalidation Levels: For every structure break, the indicator can plot a dotted "Invalidation" line (INV). This marks the critical support or resistance pivot that, if broken, would negate the previous move, providing a clear reference for risk management.
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Confirmation: Add a layer of confluence to your analysis by confirming pivots on a lower timeframe. The indicator can label Higher Lows and Lower Highs as either "Firm" (FHL/FLH) if confirmed by a reversal on a lower timeframe, or "Soft" (SHL/SLH) if not.
Flexible Pivot Detection: Fully adjustable Pivot Lookback settings for the left and right sides allow you to tune the indicator's sensitivity to match any timeframe or trading style, from long-term investing to short-term scalping.
Full Customization: Take complete control of the indicator's appearance. A dedicated style menu allows you to customize the colors for all bullish, bearish, and reversal elements, including the transparency of the trend-based candle coloring.
HOW TO USE
Trend Identification: Use the sequence of HH/HL and LL/LH, along with the trend-colored candles, to quickly assess the current market direction on any timeframe.
Entry Signals: A confirmed BOS can signal a potential entry in the direction of the trend. A CHoCH can signal a potential reversal, offering an opportunity to enter a new trend early.
Risk Management: Use the automatically plotted "Invalidation" (INV) lines as a logical reference point for placing stop losses. A break of this level indicates that the structure you were trading has failed.
Confluence: Use the "Firm" pivot signals from the MTF analysis to identify high-probability swing points that are supported by price action on multiple timeframes.
SETTINGS BREAKDOWN
Pivot Lookback Left/Right: Controls the sensitivity of pivot detection. Higher numbers find more significant (but fewer) pivots.
MTF Confirmation: Enable/disable the "Firm" vs. "Soft" pivot analysis and select your preferred lower timeframe for confirmation.
Style Settings: Customize all colors and the transparency of the candle coloring to match your chart's theme.
Show Invalidation Levels: Toggle the visibility of the dotted invalidation lines.
This indicator is a powerful tool for visualizing and trading with the trend. Experiment with the settings to find a configuration that best fits your personal trading strategy.

MarketStructureLibMarketStructure Library
This library extends the "MarketStructure" library by mickes () under the Mozilla Public License 2.0, credited to mickes. It provides functions for detecting and visualizing market structure, including Break of Structure (BOS), Change of Character (CHoCH), Equal High/Low (EQH/EQL), and liquidity zones, with enhancements for improved accuracy and customization.
Functionality
Market Structure Detection: Identifies internal (orderflow) and swing market structures using pivot points, with support for BOS, CHoCH, and EQH/EQL.
Volatility Filter: Only confirms pivots when the ATR exceeds a user-defined threshold, reducing false signals in low-volatility markets.
Trend Strength Metric: Calculates a trend strength score based on pivot frequency and volatility, stored in the Structure type for use in scripts.
Customizable Visualizations: Allows users to configure line styles and colors for BOS and CHoCH, and label sizes for pivots, BOS, CHoCH, and liquidity.
Liquidity Zones: Visualizes liquidity levels with confirmation bars and lookback periods.
Methodology
Pivot Detection: Uses ta.pivothigh and ta.pivotlow with a volatility filter (ATR multiplier) to confirm significant pivots.
Trend Strength: Computes a score as pivotCount / LeftLength * (currentATR / ATR), reflecting trend reliability based on pivot frequency and market volatility.
BOS/CHoCH Logic: Detects BOS when price breaks a pivot in the trend direction, and CHoCH when price reverses against the trend, with labels for "MSF" or "MSF+" based on pivot patterns.
EQH/EQL Zones: Creates boxes around equal highs/lows within an ATR-based threshold, with optional extension.
Visualization: Draws lines and labels for BOS, CHoCH, and liquidity, with user-defined styles, colors, and sizes.
Usage
Integration: Import into Pine Script indicators (e.g., import Fenomentn/MarketStructure/1) to analyze market structure.
Configuration: Set pivot lengths, volatility threshold, label sizes, and visualization styles via script inputs.
Alerts: Enable alerts for BOS, CHoCH, and EQH/EQL events, triggered on bar close to avoid repainting.
Best Practices: Use on forex or crypto charts (1m to 12h timeframes) for optimal results. Adjust the volatility threshold for different market conditions.
Originality
This library builds on mickes’ framework by adding:
A volatility-based pivot filter to enhance signal accuracy.
A trend strength metric for assessing trend reliability.
Dynamic label sizing and customizable visualization styles for better usability. No additional open-source code was reused beyond mickes’ library, credited under MPL 2.0.

Market Structure Break Targets [UAlgo]The "Market Structure Break Targets " indicator is designed to identify and visualize key market structure points such as Market Structure Breaks (MSBs) and Break of Structures (BoS). These points are crucial for understanding market trends and potential reversal zones. By plotting these structures on the chart, traders can easily spot significant support and resistance levels, as well as potential entry and exit points.
This indicator uses a combination of swing highs and lows to determine market structures and calculates targets based on user-defined percentages or Average True Range (ATR) multipliers. It provides visual cues in the form of lines, labels, and boxes to help traders quickly interpret market conditions.
🔶 Key Features
Customizable Swing Length: Users can set the swing length to identify the pivot highs and lows, which are crucial for determining market structure.
Target Duration Bars: Defines the maximum duration (in bars) for which the targets will be considered valid.
Target Calculation Methods: The target levels are crucial for setting potential price objectives. The calculation can be based on a percentage move from the identified pivot or using the ATR to factor in market volatility. These targets help in setting realistic profit-taking levels or identifying stop-loss placements.
Bullish and Bearish Market Structure Break (MSB): Detects and highlights bullish and bearish market structure breaks with customizable colors and target percentages.
Bullish MSB
When the price closes above a significant pivot high, a bullish MSB is identified. The indicator will draw a line at this level and calculate a target based on the chosen method (percentage or ATR). The target is visualized with a dotted line, and a label "MSB" is displayed. Additionally, an order block is created at the level of the bullish MSB. This order block is highlighted with a semi-transparent box, representing a potential area where price might find support in the future.
Bearish MSB
Conversely, when the price closes below a significant pivot low, a bearish MSB is marked. Similar to bullish MSBs, targets are calculated and displayed on the chart. An order block is also generated at the level of the bearish MSB, visualized with a semi-transparent box. This box highlights a potential resistance area where price might face selling pressure.
Bullish and Bearish Break of Structure (BoS): Identifies break of structures for both bullish and bearish scenarios, providing additional target levels.
Bullish BoS
If the price continues to rise and breaks another significant level, a bullish BoS is detected. This break is also marked with lines and labels, providing additional target levels for traders. An order block is created at the BoS level, serving as a potential support zone.
Bearish BoS
If the price falls further after a bearish MSB, a bearish BoS is identified and visualized similarly. The indicator creates an order block at the BoS level, which acts as a potential resistance zone.

Zendog V2 backtest DCA bot 3commasHi everyone,
After a few iterations and additional implemented features this version of the Backtester is now open source.
The Strategy is a Backtester for 3commas DCA bots. The main usage scenario is to plugin your external indicator, and backtest it using different DCA settings.
Before using this script please make sure you read these explanations and make sure you understand how it works.
Features:
- Because of Tradingview limitations on how orders are grouped into Trades, this Strategy statistics are calculated by the script, so please ignore the Strategy Tester statistics completely
Statistics Table explained:
- Status: either all deals are closed or there is a deal still running, in which case additional info
is provided below, as when the deal started, current PnL, current SO
- Finished deals: Total number of closed deals both Winning and Losing.
A deal is comprised as the Base Order (BO) + all Safety Orders (SO) related to that deal, so this number
will be different than the Strategy Tester List of Trades
- Winning Deals: Deal ended in profit
- Losing deals: Deals ended with loss due to Stop Loss. In the future I might add a Deal Stop condition to
the script, so that will count towards this number as well.
- Total days ( Max / Avg days in Deal ):
Total Days in the Backtest given by either Tradingview limitation on the number of candles or by the
config of the script regarding "Limit Date Range".
Max Days spent in a deal + which period this happened.
Avg days spent in a deal.
- Required capital: This is the total capital required to run the Backtester and it is automatically calculated by
the script taking into consideration BO size, SO size, SO volume scale. This should be the same as 3commas.
This number overwrites strategy.initial_capital and is used to calculate Profit and other stats, so you don't need
to update strategy.initial_capital every time you change BO/SO settings
- Profit after commission
- Buy and Hold return: The PnL that could have been obtained by buying at the close of the first candle of the
backtester and selling at the last.
- Covered deviation: The % of price move from initial BO order covered by SO settings
- Max Deviation: Biggest market % price move vs BO price, in the other direction (for long
is down, for short it is up)
- Max Drawdown: Biggest market % price move vs Avg price of the whole Trade (BO + any SO), in the other
direction (for long price goes down, for short it goes up)
This is calculated for the whole Trade so it is different than List of Trades
- Max / Avg bars in deal
- Total volume / Commission calculated by the strategy. For correct commission please set Commission in the
Inputs Tab and you may ignore Properties Tab
- Close stats for deals: This is a list of how many Trades were closed at each step, including Stop Loss (if
configured), together with covered deviation for that step, the number of deals, and the percentage of this
number from all the deals
TODO: Might add deal avg value for each step
- Settings Table that can be enabled / disabled just to have an overview of your configs on the chart, this is a
drawn on bottom left
- Steps Table similar to 3commas, this is also drawn on bottom left, so please disable Settings table if you want
to see this one
TODO: Might add extra stats here
- Deal start condition: built in RSI-7 or plugin any external indicator and compare with any value the indicator plots
(main purpose of this strategy is to connect your own studies, so using external indicator is recommended)
- Base order and safety orders configs similar to 3commas (order size, percent deviation, safety orders,
percent scale and volume scale)
- Long and Short
- Stop Loss
- Support for Take profit from base order or from Total volume of the deal
- Configs help (besides self explanatory):
- Chart theme: Adjust according to the theme you run on. There is no way to detect theme at the moment.
This adjust different colors
- Deal Start Type: Either a builtin RSI7 or "External indicator"
- Indicator Source an value: If using External Indicator then select source, comparison and value.
For example you could start a deal when Volume is greater than xxxx, or code a custom indicator that plots
different values based on your conditions and test those values
- Visuals / Decimals for display: Adjust according to your symbol
- BO Entry Price for steps table: This is the BO start deal price used to calculate the steps in the table
