Golden Swap (Zeiierman)█ Overview
The Golden Swap indicator, as designed by Zeiierman, focuses on identifying reversal points around the key levels indicated by the indicator. This pattern works by analyzing the relationship between current and past price movements, considering factors like price symmetry, baseline boundaries, and precision pin bar formations. It can offer insights into potential market reversals, allowing for more precise entries and exits.
█ How It Works
Golden Swap Long
In a market with bullish momentum, we expect the price to dip a bit before it continues to rise again. This dip is like a small retreat in an overall march upwards. So, the pattern aims to assess whether the current period's dip is relatively shallow, indicating that the overall bullish momentum remains robust despite temporary price fluctuations.
Golden Swap Short
In a market with bearish momentum (indicating selling pressure or bearish sentiment), we may still see the price rise a bit before continuing its drop. This temporary rise is like a slight bounce in an overall downward movement. In simpler terms, even when the price bounces up a bit, it's not strong enough to overcome the recent pressure of selling. The sellers are still dominating, and the price will likely continue to drop.
█ The signal is reinforced by symmetry, BaselineBound criteria, and a bearish Precision PinBar.
⚪ Symmetry in Price Movements: The pattern uses the Symmetry Precision filter to analyze the symmetry of recent price movements. This helps in determining the likelihood of a reversal. A high degree of symmetry suggests a more reliable reversal signal.
⚪ BaselineBound Criteria: This component involves the BaselineBound Threshold, which acts as a filter to validate the strength of the potential reversal. Bullish and bearish conditions are assessed based on how the current close price compares to a calculated range around the high and low of the previous period.
⚪ Precision PinBar Analysis: The pattern also incorporates the Precision PinBar filter, which evaluates the characteristics of the recent price bars. A Precision PinBar is a candlestick with a small body and a long tail, indicating a potential reversal.
⚪ Display of Key Levels: The indicator can show Open, High, and Low levels for selected timeframes, helping traders identify key price points.
█ How to Use
The Golden Swap pattern is a valuable confirmation tool, particularly around key levels or session highs and lows. It highlights instances where a previous high or low has been respected, followed by a price reversal—flipping back up in an upward trend (Golden Swap Long) or flipping back down in a downward trend (Golden Swap Short). When this pattern emerges near a key level, it strongly suggests that the price will continue moving in the direction indicated by the current trend.
Consider it akin to a minor liquidity hunt above the previous high or below the previous low. The presence of the Golden Swap pattern, especially when aligned with other indicators and filters, enhances its reliability as a signal for the continuation of the prevailing market trend.
█ Settings
Timeframe Selection: Choose from various timeframes for signal calculation.
Filter Adjustments: Fine-tune the Symmetry Precision, BaselineBound Threshold, and Precision PinBar settings to filter signals according to specific criteria.
Display Options for Key Levels: Enable or disable the display of key price levels and select timeframes for these levels.

Real-time adjustment to changing market structure
2. Statistical Support/Resistance System
How It Works:
SDMS creates support and resistance lines based on statistical extremes confirmed on the 1-hour timeframe.
Trigger Conditions:
Support Lines (Green): Trigger when 1H Bollinger Band % crosses above 0 and bearish momentum subsides.
Resistance Lines (Red): Trigger when 1H Bollinger Band % crosses below 1 and bullish momentum subsides
The Science Behind BB%:
BB% = (Price - Lower Band) / (Upper Band - Lower Band)
BB% <= 0: Price at statistical oversold extreme; also indicated by white candles.
BB% > 1: Price at statistical overbought extreme; also indicated by white candles.
Line Management:
Maximum of 15 active lines
Oldest lines automatically removed
Lines extend across chart for ongoing reference

ICT Anchored Market Structures with Validation [LuxAlgo]The ICT Anchored Market Structures with Validation indicator is an advanced iteration of the original Pure-Price-Action-Structures tool, designed for price action traders.
It systematically tracks and validates key price action structures, distinguishing between true structural shifts/breaks and short-term sweeps to enhance trend and reversal analysis. The indicator automatically highlights structural points, confirms breakouts, identifies sweeps, and provides clear visual cues for short-term, intermediate-term, and long-term market structures.
A distinctive feature of this indicator is its exclusive reliance on price patterns. It does not depend on any user-defined input, ensuring that its analysis remains robust, objective, and uninfluenced by user bias, making it an effective tool for understanding market dynamics.
🔶 USAGE
Market structure is a cornerstone of price action analysis. This script automatically detects real-time market structures across short-term, intermediate-term, and long-term levels, simplifying trend analysis for traders. It assists in identifying both trend reversals and continuations with greater clarity.
Market structure shifts and breaks help traders identify changes in trend direction. A shift signals a potential reversal, often occurring when a swing high or low is breached, suggesting a transition in trend. A break, on the other hand, confirms the continuation of an established trend, reinforcing the current direction. Recognizing these shifts and breaks allows traders to anticipate price movement with greater accuracy.
It’s important to note that while a CHoCH may signal a potential trend reversal and a BoS suggests a continuation of the prevailing trend, neither guarantees a complete reversal or continuation. In some cases, CHoCH and BoS levels may act as liquidity zones or areas of consolidation rather than indicating a clear shift or continuation in market direction. The indicator’s validation component helps confirm whether the detected CHoCH and BoS are true breakouts or merely liquidity sweeps.
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Market Structures
Market structures are derived from price action analysis, focusing on identifying key levels and patterns in the market. Swing point detection, a fundamental concept in ICT trading methodologies and teachings, plays a central role in this approach.
Swing points are automatically identified based exclusively on market movements, without requiring any user-defined input.
🔹 Utilizing Swing Points
Swing points are not identified in real-time as they form. Short-term swing points may appear with a delay of up to one bar, while the identification of intermediate and long-term swing points is entirely dependent on subsequent market movements. Importantly, this detection process is not influenced by any user-defined input, relying solely on pure price action. As a result, swing points are generally not intended for real-time trading scenarios.
Instead, traders often analyze historical swing points to understand market trends and identify potential entry and exit opportunities. By examining swing highs and lows, traders can:
Recognize Trends: Swing highs and lows provide insight into trend direction. Higher swing highs and higher swing lows signify an uptrend, while lower swing highs and lower swing lows indicate a downtrend.
Identify Support and Resistance Levels: Swing highs often act as resistance levels, referred to as Buyside Liquidity Levels in ICT terminology, while swing lows function as support levels, also known as Sellside Liquidity Levels. Traders can leverage these levels to plan their trade entries and exits.
Spot Reversal Patterns: Swing points can form key reversal patterns, such as double tops or bottoms, head and shoulders, and triangles. Recognizing these patterns can indicate potential trend reversals, enabling traders to adjust their strategies effectively.
Set Stop Loss and Take Profit Levels: In ICT teachings, swing levels represent price points with expected clusters of buy or sell orders. Traders can target these liquidity levels/pools for position accumulation or distribution, using swing points to define stop loss and take profit levels in their trades.
Overall, swing points provide valuable information about market dynamics and can assist traders in making more informed trading decisions.
🔹 Logic of Validation
The validation process in this script determines whether a detected market structure shift or break represents a confirmed breakout or a sweep.
The breakout is confirmed when the close price is significantly outside the deviation range of the last detected structural price. This deviation range is defined by the 17-period Average True Range (ATR), which creates a buffer around the detected market structure shift or break.
A sweep occurs when the price breaches the structural level within the deviation range but does not confirm a breakout. In this case, the label is updated to 'SWEEP.'
A visual box is created to represent the price range where the breakout or sweep occurs. If the validation process continues, the box is updated. This box visually highlights the price range involved in a sweep, helping traders identify liquidity events on the chart.
🔶 SETTINGS
The settings for Short-Term, Intermediate-Term, and Long-Term Structures are organized into groups, allowing users to customize swing points, market structures, and visual styles for each.
🔹 Structures
Swings and Size: Enables or disables the display of swing highs and lows, assigns icons to represent the structures, and adjusts the size of the icons.

Initial balance - weeklyWeekly Initial Balance (IB) — Indicator Description
The Weekly Initial Balance (IB) is the price range (High–Low) established during the week’s first trading session (most commonly Monday). You can measure it over the entire day or just the first X hours (e.g. 60 or 120 minutes). Once that session ends, the IB High and IB Low define the key levels where the initial weekly range formed.
Why Measure the Weekly IB?
Week-Opening Sentiment:
Monday’s range often sets the tone for the rest of the week. Trading above the IB High signals bullish control; trading below the IB Low signals bearish control.
Key Liquidity Zones:
Large institutions tend to place orders around these extremes, so you’ll frequently see tests, breakouts, or rejections at these levels.
Support & Resistance:
The IB High and IB Low become natural barriers. Price will often return to them, bounce off them, or break through them—ideal spots for entries and exits.
Volatility Forecast:
The width of the IB (High minus Low) indicates whether to expect a volatile week (wide IB) or a quieter one (narrow IB).
Significance of IB Levels
Breakout:
A clear break above the IB High (for longs) or below the IB Low (for shorts) can ignite a strong trending move.
Fade:
A rejection off the IB High/Low during low momentum (e.g. low volume or pin-bar formations) offers a high-probability reversal trade.
Mid-Point:
The 50% level of the IB range often “magnetizes” price back to it, providing entry points for continuation or reversal strategies.
Three Core Monday IB Strategies
A. Breakout (Open-Range Breakout)
Entry: Wait for 1–2 candles (e.g. 5-minute) to close above IB High (long) or below IB Low (short).
Stop-Loss: A few pips below IB High (long) or above IB Low (short).
Profit-Target: 2–3× your risk (Reward:Risk ≥ 2:1).
Best When: You spot a clear impulse—such as a strong pre-open volume spike or news-driven move.
B. Fade (Reversal at Extremes)
Entry: When price tests IB High but shows weakening momentum (shrinking volume, upper-wick candles), enter short; vice versa for IB Low and longs.
Stop-Loss: Just beyond the IB extreme you’re fading.
Profit-Target: Back toward the IB mid-point (50% level) or all the way to the opposite IB extreme.
Best When: Monday’s action is range-bound and lacks a clear directional trend.
C. Mid-Point Trading
Entry: When price returns to the 50% level of the IB range.
In an up-trend: buy if it bounces off mid-point back toward IB High.
In a down-trend: sell if it reverses off mid-point back toward IB Low.
Stop-Loss: Just below the nearest swing-low (for longs) or above the nearest swing-high (for shorts).
Profit-Target: To the corresponding IB extreme (High or Low).
Best When: You see a strong initial move away from the IB, followed by a pullback to the mid-point.
Usage Steps
Configure your session: Measure IB over your chosen Monday timeframe (whole day or first X hours).
Choose your strategy: Align Breakout, Fade, or Mid-Point entries with the current market context (trend vs. range).
Manage risk: Keep risk per trade ≤ 1% of account and maintain at least a 2:1 Reward:Risk ratio.
Backtest & forward-test: Verify performance over multiple Mondays and in a paper-trading environment before going live.
Timeframe Resistance Evaluation And Detection - CoffeeKillerTREAD - Timeframe Resistance Evaluation And Detection Guide

Technical Implementation Details
How Level Tracking Works
The indicator uses a custom tracking function that:
1. Detects Timeframe Periods: Uses `time()` function to identify when new periods begin
2. Tracks Extremes: Monitors highest/lowest values within each period
3. Resets on New Periods: Clears tracking when timeframe periods change
4. Updates Mid-Period: Continues tracking if new extremes are reached
The Timeframe Limitation Explained
`pinescript
// What the indicator does:
short_tf_start = ta.change(time(short_timeframe)) != 0 // Detects 30m period start
= track_highest(open, short_tf_start) // BUT uses chart TF opens!
// What true multi-timeframe would be:
// short_tf_high = request.security(syminfo.tickerid, short_timeframe, high)
`
This means:
- On a 5m chart with 30m/4h settings: Tracks 5m bar opens during 30m and 4h windows
- On a 1m chart with same settings: Tracks 1m bar opens during 30m and 4h windows
- Results will be different between chart timeframes
- May miss important price action that occurred between your chart's bars
Visual Elements
1. Level Lines
- Short TF High: Upper resistance line from shorter timeframe analysis
- Short TF Low: Lower support line from shorter timeframe analysis
- Long TF High: Broader resistance context from longer timeframe
- Long TF Low: Broader support context from longer timeframe
2. Zone Fills
- High Zone: Area between long TF high and short TF high (potential resistance cluster)
- Low Zone: Area between long TF low and short TF low (potential support cluster)
- Regular Fill: Standard transparency when levels are static
- Momentum Fill: Enhanced visibility when levels are actively changing
3. Dynamic Coloring
- Static Periods: Normal colors when levels haven't changed recently
- Active Periods: Momentum colors when levels are being tested/broken
- Confluence Zones: Different intensities based on timeframe alignment
Trading Applications
1. Support/Resistance Trading
- Entry Points: Trade bounces from zone boundaries

- Price Action Confirmation: Wait for candlestick confirmation at levels
- Volume Analysis: Combine with volume for stronger confirmation
2. Risk Management
- Stop Placement: Use zones rather than exact prices for stops
- Position Sizing: Reduce size when zones are narrow (higher risk)
- Multiple Targets: Scale out at different zone boundaries
- False Break Protection: Allow for minor zone penetrations
3. Signal Quality Assessment
- Momentum Colors: Higher probability when momentum coloring appears
- Zone Width: Wider zones often provide stronger support/resistance
- Historical Testing: Backtest on your preferred timeframe combinations
- Market Conditions: Adjust sensitivity based on volatility
Advanced Features

Precision Cloud by Dr ABIRAM SIVPRASAD
Precision Cloud by Dr. Abhiram Sivprasad"
The " Precision Cloud" script, created by Dr. Abhiram Sivprasad, is a multi-purpose technical analysis tool designed for Forex, Bitcoin, Commodities, Stocks, and Options trading. It focuses on identifying key levels of support and resistance, combined with moving averages (EMAs) and central pivot ranges (CPR), to help traders make informed trading decisions. The script also provides a visual "light system" to highlight potential long or short positions, aiding traders in entering trades with a clear strategy.
Key Features of the Script:
Central Pivot Range (CPR):
The CPR is calculated as the average of the high, low, and close of the price, while the top and bottom pivots are derived from it. These act as dynamic support and resistance zones.
The script can plot daily CPR, support, and resistance levels (S1/R1, S2/R2, S3/R3) as well as optional weekly and monthly pivot points.
The CPR helps identify whether the price is in a bullish, bearish, or neutral zone.
Support and Resistance Levels:
Three daily support (S1, S2, S3) and resistance (R1, R2, R3) levels are plotted based on the CPR.
These levels act as potential reversal or breakout points, allowing traders to make decisions around key price points.
EMA (Exponential Moving Averages):
The script includes two customizable EMAs (default periods of 9 and 21). You can choose the source for these EMAs (open, high, low, or close).
The crossovers between EMA1 and EMA2 help identify potential trend reversals or momentum shifts.
Lagging Span:
The Lagging Span is plotted with a customizable displacement (default 26), which helps identify overall trend direction by comparing past price with the current price.
Light System:
A color-coded table provides a visual representation of market conditions:
Green indicates bullish signals (e.g., price above CPR, EMAs aligning positively).
Red indicates bearish signals (e.g., price below CPR, EMAs aligning negatively).
Yellow indicates neutral conditions, where there is no clear trend direction.
The system includes lights for CPR, EMA, Long Position, and Short Position, helping traders quickly assess whether the market is in a buying or selling opportunity.
Trading Strategies Using the Script
1. Forex Trading:
Trend-Following with EMAs: Use the EMA crossovers to capture trending markets in Forex. A green light for the EMA combined with a price above the daily or weekly pivot levels suggests a buying opportunity. Conversely, if the EMA light turns red and price falls below the CPR levels, look for shorting opportunities.
Reversal Strategy: Watch for price action near the daily S1/R1 levels. If price holds above S1 and the EMA is green, this could signal a reversal from support. The same applies to resistance levels.
2. Bitcoin Trading:
Momentum Breakouts: Bitcoin is known for its sharp moves. The script helps to identify breakouts from the CPR range. If the price breaks above the TC (Top Central Pivot) with bullish EMA alignment (green light), it could signal a strong uptrend.
Lagging Span Confirmation: Use the Lagging Span to confirm the trend direction. For Bitcoin's volatility, when the lagging span shows consistent alignment with the price and CPR, it often indicates continuation of the trend.
3. Commodities Trading:
Support/Resistance Bounce: Commodities such as gold and oil often react well to pivot levels. Look for price bouncing off S1 or R1 for potential entry points. A green CPR light along with price above the pivot range supports a bullish bias.
EMA Pullback Strategy: If price moves in a strong trend and pulls back to one of the EMAs, a green EMA light suggests re-entry on a pullback. If the EMA light is red and price breaks below the BC (Bottom Central Pivot), short positions could be considered.
4. Stocks Trading:
Long Position Strategy: For stocks, use the combination of the long position light turning green (price above TC and EMA alignment) as a signal to buy. This could be especially useful for riding bullish trends in growth stocks or during earnings seasons when volatility is high.
Short Position Strategy: If the short position light turns green, indicating price below BC and EMAs turning bearish, this could be an ideal setup for shorting overvalued stocks or during market corrections.
5. Options Trading:
Directional Bias for Options: The light system is particularly helpful for options traders. A green long position light provides a clear signal to buy call options, while a green short position light supports buying puts.
Pivot Breakout Strategy: Buy options (calls or puts) when the price breaks above resistance or below support, with confirmation from the CPR and EMA lights. This helps capture the sharp moves required for profitable options trades.
Conclusion
The S&R Precision Cloud script is a versatile tool for traders across markets, including Forex, Bitcoin, Commodities, Stocks, and Options. It combines critical technical elements like pivot ranges, support and resistance levels, EMAs, and the Lagging Span to provide a clear picture of market conditions. The intuitive light system helps traders quickly assess whether to take a long or short position, making it an excellent tool for both new and experienced traders.

The Volume Spread Analysis (VSA) indicator is a comprehensive tool that helps traders identify key market patterns and trends based on volume and spread data. This indicator highlights significant VSA patterns and provides insights into market behavior through color-coded volume/spread bars and identification of bars indicating strength, weakness, and neutrality between buyers and sellers. It also includes powerful volume and spread forecasting capabilities.
█ Laws of Volume Spread Analysis (VSA):
The origin of VSA begins with Richard Wyckoff, a pivotal figure in its development. Wyckoff made significant contributions to trading theory, including the formulation of three basic laws:
The Law of Supply and Demand: This fundamental law states that supply and demand balance each other over time. High demand and low supply lead to rising prices until demand falls to a level where supply can meet it. Conversely, low demand and high supply cause prices to fall until demand increases enough to absorb the excess supply.
The Law of Cause and Effect: This law assumes that a 'cause' will result in an 'effect' proportional to the 'cause'. A strong 'cause' will lead to a strong trend (effect), while a weak 'cause' will lead to a weak trend.
The Law of Effort vs. Result: This law asserts that the result should reflect the effort exerted. In trading terms, a large volume should result in a significant price move (spread). If the spread is small, the volume should also be small. Any deviation from this pattern is considered an anomaly.
█ Volume and Spread Analysis Bars:
Display: Volume and/or spread bars that consist of color coded levels. If both of these are displayed, the number of spread bars can be limited for visual appeal and understanding, with the spread bars scaled to match the volume bars. While automatic calculation of the number of visual bars for auto scaling is possible, it is avoided to prevent the indicator from reloading whenever the number of visual price bars on the chart is adjusted, ensuring uninterrupted analysis. A displayable table (Legend) of bar colors and levels can give context and clarify to each volume/spread bar.
Calculation: Levels are calculated using multipliers applied to moving averages to represent key levels based on historical data: low, normal, high, ultra. This method smooths out short-term fluctuations and focuses on longer-term trends.
Low Level: Indicates reduced volatility and market interest.
Normal Level: Reflects typical market activity and volatility.
High Level: Indicates increased activity and volatility.
Ultra Level: Identifies extreme levels of activity and volatility.
This illustrates the appearance of Volume and Spread bars when scaled and plotted together:
█ Forecasting Capabilities:
Display: Forecasted volume and spread levels using predictive models.
Calculation: Volume and Spread prediction calculations differ as volume is linear and spread is non-linear.
Volume Forecast (Linear Forecasting): Predicts future volume based on current volume rate and bar time till close.
Spread Forecast (Non-Linear Dynamic Forecasting): Predicts future spread using a dynamic multiplier, less near midpoint (consolidation) and more near low or high (trending), reflecting non-linear expansion.
Moving Averages: In forecasting, moving averages utilize forecasted levels instead of actual levels to ensure the correct level is forecasted (low, normal, high, or ultra).
The following compares forecasted volume with actual resulting volume, highlighting the power of early identifying increased volume through forecasted levels:
█ VSA Patterns:
Criteria and descriptions for each VSA pattern are available as tooltips beside them within the indicator’s settings. These tooltips provide explanations of potential developments based on the volume and spread data.

cd_sfp_CxGeneral:
This indicator is designed to assist users who trade the Swing Failure Pattern ( SFP ).
In technical literature (various definitions exist), an SFP is a situation where the price violates a previous swing level but fails to close beyond that level.
• (Liquidity Sweep)
• (Buyer or seller dominance)
• (Stop hunt)
• (Turtle Soup)
The general strategy is built upon seeking trade opportunities after an SFP is formed and conviction is established that the market direction has changed.
Components used to gather confirmation:
• Determining Bias: Periodic SAR
• Obtaining Breakout/Reversal Confirmation: Change in State Delivery (CISD)
• Defining the Buyer/Seller Block (Supply/Demand Zones): Mitg Blocks (Mitigation Blocks), FVG (Fair Value Gaps), and Standard Deviation Projection
• Key Levels: Previous HTF (Higher Time Frame) levels
• Setting Targets: Standard Deviation Projection
• Trade Management: Anchored VWAP and opposing blocks
• Time-Based Context: Session Killzone times
• Notifications: An alarm/alert system will be utilized to stay informed.
________________________________________
Details:
Swing and Swing Failure Pattern:
Swing Sweep Types (Liquidity Sweep):
1. Single
2. Consecutive (The liquidity of the entity that swept the liquidity is being swept)
Bias Determination
We need to filter out the numerous SFPs that occur across all time frames. Our first strong filter will be the Bias. We will only look for trades aligned with our bias.
We will use Periodic SAR (Stop and Reverse) to determine the bias. We compare the price with the SAR value from a Higher Time Frame than the one we are trading on.
• Price > SAR => Bullish Bias
• Price < SAR => Bearish Bias
Depending on the pair, H1 SAR may be chosen for scalp trades, and Daily/Weekly SAR for intraday and swing trades.
Key Levels
Strategies looking for trades after a liquidity grab generally state that the sweep / stop hunt movement should occur at a significant price level.
The most fundamental Key Level levels are (User can customize):
• Previous Week High & Low
• Previous Day High & Low
• Previous H4 High & Low
• Previous H1 High & Low
• Asia Killzone High & Low
• London Killzone High & Low
• New York Killzone High & Low
• Monday Range High & Low values
We will prefer SFP formations that occur when these levels are swept. When Key Levels are violated, an information label appears on the screen.
Blocks / Zones
To strengthen our hand, we will use three types of blocks/zones, either with Key Levels or separately. When an SFP structure is formed in these areas (along with bias and breakout confirmation), our expectation is for the price to continue in our desired direction. These regions are:
1. Mitigation Blocks (Mtg)
o (Details can be found in the cd_VWAP_mtg_Cx indicator)
o In short: A second candle, following a bullish candle, crosses its high but fails to close above it. We call this a sweep / SFP. When the price, which was expected to go to the low, instead makes a new high/close, an Mtg block is formed. (Buyers are dominant)
2. FVGs (Fair Value Gaps)
o We use classic FVG structures.
3. Standard Deviation Projection Boxes
o When we get an SFP structure + breakout confirmation (CISD), we use the Standard Deviation Projection to determine our profit-taking and take-profit levels.
o Based on the idea that the price often respects the range between -2 and -2.5 of the projection values, we box this range and use it as our area of interest. (Our expectation is for the price to reverse after reaching this target).
o Let's mark it on the chart.
Confirmation
To summarize what has been explained so far: we look for the price to form an SFP structure in levels/zones we deem important, aligned with our bias, and for the breakout to be confirmed with a CISD.
No single component is strong on its own, but the success rate increases when they occur together.
We observe the following as additional confirmation along with the CISD: a new Mtg block forming in the direction of the breakout, high-volume movement (with FVG and a large body), and respect for VWAPs, the resistance/support line, and the defense block.
Additional Confirmations with Breakouts:
• Defence block, new mtg and VWAP
• Resistance / Support Line:
Indicator Signals
The indicator marks all formed sweeps, selected key levels, blocks, the projection, and CISD confirmations on the screen. The candle where the CISD confirmation occurs is indicated by an arrow.
• Arrows with double short lines signify a CISD that follows an SFP occurring at a Key Level.
• All other CISD candle indications are shown with single-line arrows.
Trade Management
When selecting profit targets in trades (preferably), the projection, opposing blocks, and structures that have formed are taken into account. Do not neglect to look at the structures that have formed against you when entering a trade.
Menu Settings:
• For Mtg blocks, the trading timeframe or a higher timeframe can be selected.
• FVGs formed in the current timeframe are displayed when the price creates an SFP (in "Fvg" option).
• Deviation boxes are displayed when the price creates an SFP (in box).
• The SAR HTF setting (H1) for scalp trades may vary depending on the pair. Users trying trades on higher timeframes should increase the HTF setting.
o Example: If you are looking for a trade with an SFP structure on H1, the SAR HTF setting should be H4 or higher.
• VWAP lines are refreshed starting from the candle that executed the sweep when the price forms an SFP. The only setting to adjust is the source selection setting (hlc3 is selected).
• Time frames and Killzone / Special Zone settings for Key Levels can be changed/should be checked.
Alarms / Alerts:
The conditions that will trigger an alert can be selected from the menu.
• To receive an alert aligned with the bias, the "Alignment with bias" checkbox must be selected.
• The alert should be set on the timeframe where you plan to enter the trade.
• The display options do not affect the alarm conditions. (Example: FVGs are monitored even when the menu selection is "off").
• If the necessary conditions are met, the alarm is triggered on the new candle that opens after the CISD confirmation.
• The alarm will not be triggered more than once at the same Key Level.
The user can preferably select alerts:
• Bias-aligned or Bias-independent
• Sweep (without waiting for CISD)
• Sweep + CISD (without looking for other conditions)
• Sweep + Key Level + CISD (the swept level is a Key Level)
• Sweep + Mtg / Fvg / Dev. + CISD (SFP formed in any of the blocks)
• Sweep + Mtg + CISD (SFP formed in the Mtg block)
• Sweep + Fvg + CISD (SFP formed inside the FVG)
• Sweep + Deviation Box + CISD (SFP formed inside the Dev. Box)
• Sweep + Key Level + Mtg / Fvg / Dev. + CISD (SFP formed simultaneously at a Key Level and any of the blocks)
Trade Example:
• Conditions: Bias-aligned + Sweep + Mtg/Fvg/Dev (at least one) + CISD
• Extra Confirmations: Respect for the Defense Block + Respect for VWAP
• Target (TP): Projection between -2 and -2.5
I welcome your thoughts and suggestions regarding my indicator, which I believe will be successful in the long run by adhering to uncompromising risk management and a strict trading plan.
Happy Trading!
Fractal Circles#### FRACTAL CIRCLES ####
I combined 2 of my best indicators Fractal Waves (Simplified) and Circles.
Combining the Fractal and Gann levels makes for a very simple trading strategy.
Core Functionality
Gann Circle Levels: This indicator plots mathematical support and resistance levels based on Gann theory, including 360/2, 360/3, and doubly strong levels. The system automatically adjusts to any price range using an intelligent multiplier system, making it suitable for forex, stocks, crypto, or any market.
Fractal Wave Analysis: Integrates real-time trend analysis from both current and higher timeframes. Shows the current price range boundaries (high/low) and trend direction through dynamic lines and background fills, helping traders understand market structure.
Key Trading Benefits
Active Level Detection: The closest Gann level to current price is automatically highlighted in green with increased line thickness. This eliminates guesswork about which level is most likely to act as immediate support or resistance.
Real-Time Price Tracking: A customizable line follows current price with an offset to the right, projecting where price sits relative to upcoming levels. A gradient-filled box visualizes the exact distance between current price and the active Gann level.
Multi-Timeframe Context: View fractal waves from higher timeframes while maintaining current timeframe precision. This helps identify whether short-term moves align with or contradict longer-term structure.
Smart Alert System: Comprehensive alerts trigger when price crosses any Gann level, with options to monitor all levels or focus only on the active level. Reduces the need for constant chart monitoring while ensuring you never miss significant level breaks.
Practical Trading Applications
Entry Timing: Use active level highlighting to identify the most probable support/resistance for entries. The real-time distance box helps gauge risk/reward before entering positions.
Risk Management: Set stops based on Gann level breaks, particularly doubly strong levels which tend to be more significant. The gradient visualization makes it easy to see how much room price has before hitting key levels.
Trend Confirmation: Fractal waves provide immediate context about whether current price action aligns with broader market structure. Bullish/bearish background fills offer quick visual confirmation of trend direction.
Multi-Asset Analysis: The auto-scaling multiplier system works across all markets and timeframes, making it valuable for traders who monitor multiple instruments with vastly different price ranges.
Confluence Trading: Combine Gann levels with fractal wave boundaries to identify high-probability setups where multiple technical factors align.
This tool is particularly valuable for traders who appreciate mathematical precision in their technical analysis while maintaining the flexibility to adapt to real-time market conditions.
Contrarian with 5 Levels5 Levels application was inspired and adapted from Predictive Ranges indicator developed by Lux Algo. So much credit to their work.
Indicator Description: Contrarian with 5 Levels
Overview
The "Contrarian with 5 Levels" indicator is a powerful tool designed for traders seeking to identify potential reversal points in the market by combining contrarian trading principles with dynamic support and resistance levels. This indicator overlays a Simple Moving Average (SMA) shadow and five adaptive price levels, integrating Institutional Concepts of Structure (ICT) such as Break of Structure (BOS) and Market Structure Shift (MSS) to provide clear buy and sell signals. It is ideal for traders looking to capitalize on overextended price movements, particularly on the daily timeframe, though it is adaptable to other timeframes with proper testing.
How It Works
The indicator operates on two core components:
Contrarian SMA Shadow: A shaded region between the SMA of highs and lows (default length: 100) acts as a dynamic zone to identify overbought or oversold conditions. When the price moves significantly outside this shadow, it signals potential exhaustion, aligning with contrarian trading principles.
Five Adaptive Levels: Using a modified ATR-based calculation, the indicator plots five key levels (two resistance, one average, and two support) that adjust dynamically to market volatility. These levels serve as critical zones for potential reversals.
ICT Structure Analysis: The indicator incorporates BOS and MSS logic to detect shifts in market structure, plotting bullish and bearish breaks with customizable colors for clarity.
Buy and sell signals are generated when the price crosses key levels while outside the SMA shadow, indicating potential reversal opportunities. The signals are visualized as small circles above (sell) or below (buy) the price bars, making them easy to interpret.
Mathematical Concepts
SMA Shadow: The indicator calculates the SMA of the highest highs and lowest lows over a user-defined period (default: 100). This creates a dynamic range that highlights extreme price movements, which contrarian traders often target for reversals.
Five Levels Calculation: The five levels are derived using a volatility-adjusted formula based on the Average True Range (ATR). The average level (central pivot) is calculated as a smoothed price, with two upper (resistance) and two lower (support) levels offset by a multiple of the ATR (default multiplier: 6.0). This adaptive approach ensures the levels remain relevant across varying market conditions.
ICT BOS/MSS Logic: The indicator identifies pivot highs and lows on a user-defined timeframe (default: daily) to detect structural breaks. A BOS occurs when the price breaks a prior pivot high (bullish) or low (bearish), while an MSS signals a shift in market direction, providing context for potential reversals.
Entry and Exit Rules
Buy Signal (Blue Dot Below Bar): Triggered when the closing price is below both the SMA shadow (smaLow) and the average level (avg), and the price crosses under either the first or second support level (prS1 or prS2). This suggests the market may be oversold, indicating a potential reversal upward.
Sell Signal (White Dot Above Bar): Triggered when the closing price is above both the SMA shadow (smaHigh) and the average level (avg), and the price crosses over either the first or second resistance level (prR1 or prR2). This suggests the market may be overbought, indicating a potential reversal downward.
Recommended Usage
This indicator is optimized for the daily timeframe, where it has been designed to capture significant reversal opportunities in trending or ranging markets. However, it can be adapted to other timeframes (e.g., 1H, 4H, 15M) with proper testing of settings such as SMA length, ATR multiplier, and structure timeframe. Users are encouraged to backtest and optimize parameters to suit their trading style and asset class.
Customization Options
SMA Length: Adjust the SMA period (default: 100) to control the sensitivity of the shadow.
Five Levels Length and Multiplier: Modify the length (default: 200) and ATR multiplier (default: 6.0) to fine-tune the support/resistance levels.
Timeframe Settings: Set separate timeframes for structure analysis and five levels to align with your trading strategy.
Color and Signal Display: Customize colors for BOS/MSS lines and toggle buy/sell signals on or off for a cleaner chart.
Why Use This Indicator?
The "Contrarian with 5 Levels" indicator combines the power of contrarian trading with dynamic levels and market structure analysis, offering a unique perspective for identifying high-probability reversal setups. Its intuitive design, customizable settings, and clear signal visualization make it suitable for both novice and experienced traders. Whether you're trading forex, stocks, or cryptocurrencies, this indicator provides a robust framework for spotting potential turning points in the market.
We hope you find the "Contrarian with 5 Levels" indicator a valuable addition to your trading toolkit! Happy trading!

cd_respect2_EQ_Cx🔹 Overview:
Many traders form a bias or look for trade setups by analyzing the high (H) and low (L) of previous higher timeframe candles. For example: a close above the previous daily high, a failure to close after breaking the high, or approaching the level without making a new high. As we’ve been taught to focus on these key levels, I wanted to draw attention to what's happening at the mid-levels (Equilibrium) of the current and higher timeframe candles.
We’ve all heard the phrase “Strong price reacts from equilibrium,” yet most of us wait at the extremes.
While working on equilibrium levels of both higher timeframes and the current timeframe, I noticed that when a current candle closes above/below the previous HTF candle's high/low, price often respects the part of the candle that caused the break — which I refer to as the Last Block. When respected, price tends to continue with momentum; when lost, a pullback or reversal often follows.
________________________________________
🔹 About the Indicator:
This tool analyzes four different higher timeframes and shows:
• Current candle equilibrium levels
• Previous candle equilibrium levels (2 display options):
1. On Box – classic display
2. On Candle – equilibrium is linked to the last candle that includes the level, making those candles more meaningful or "strengthened"
• Alerts (standard) and on-screen warnings when price approaches previous equilibrium levels
• High/Low levels of previous HTF candles
• High/Low levels of live HTF candles
• Last Block: the upper or lower part of the candle that caused the breakout when price closes above/below the previous HTF high/low
• Countdown timer until the close of selected HTFs
________________________________________
🔹 Menus & Usage:
🔸 Show/Hide Tab:
• Toggle Previous Equilibrium display (On Candle / On Box)
• Toggle Live Equilibrium levels, color selection, and left extension
• Toggle Current Candle Equilibrium and colors
• Alert on Chart: flashing on-screen visual alert
• Approach Limit: sets how close price must be to trigger alert
• Remaining Time (RT): toggle countdown display for selected timeframes
________________________________________
🔸 HTF H/L Levels Tab:
• Show previous and live HTF candle highs/lows
• Customize colors, starting points, and left extension options
________________________________________
🔸 Timeframes & Options Tab:
• Select which timeframes to display
• Choose level colors
• Enable price alerts
• Control visibility in the time chart
• Toggle Last Block display (close-to-high/low)
________________________________________
🔸 Look Back HTF Candles Tab:
• Delete filled levels: removes invalidated zones; only unmitigated remain
• Back Control: set how many candles to look back per timeframe (unlimited if not set)
________________________________________
🔸 HTF Boxes Tab:
• Display HTF candles in boxes
• Set colors (single color or per timeframe)
• Adjust font sizes across the chart
________________________________________
🔹 Usage & Last Blocks:
The core idea behind both equilibrium levels and last blocks is:
Price should “gain” and respect them to validate continuation.
Viewing multiple timeframes together strengthens bias.
Each level is treated as part of the candle it's associated with — defining the “area to be gained.”
“Did price respect the level because of that candle, or did the candle gain significance because it aligned with the level? That’s open for debate.”
(In my opinion, the candle gains significance because it aligns with the level.)
When respected, these levels/blocks act as support; when lost, they act as resistance.
In suitable timeframes, reclaiming previous equilibrium levels may be interpreted as CHoCH / CISD / IDM depending on the context.
________________________________________
🔹 Usage Example – Last Blocks:
I personally trade on 1-minute and use Daily / H4 / H1 / 15m as selected timeframes.
For example, if price reclaims the previous 15m level, I view it as a Change of Character. I then expect the next candle to show respect in that direction.
Choose timeframes based on your trading style.
Sometimes, HTF levels (past and live) cluster tightly — these areas are key watch zones for me.
That’s the reason I decided to share this indicator.
________________________________________
🔹 Chart Examples:
🔸 Example 1:
Price closes above both the 12:45 15m candle and the 12:00 H1 equilibrium levels.
Last Block forms. After retracing, price mitigates the block and respects live equilibrium levels (H4/H1/15m).
🔸 Example 2:
Explained on chart – Levels that pushed price down in the bearish trend later acted as support.
🔸 Example 3 – CHoCH/CISD/IDM Alternative:
Explained on chart – Replacing structural signals with equilibrium levels.
I see this pattern often — very effective.
🔸 Example 4:
Many levels are clustered in a narrow range; price shows respect across the board.
________________________________________
🔹 Final Note:
Hope you like the tool. I’d love to hear your thoughts and suggestions.
"Keep in mind, strong price reverses from equilibrium."
Happy trading!
