ICT Unicorn Model [Kodexius]ICT Unicorn Model is a market structure and imbalance confluence tool that automatically detects high probability “Unicorn” setups by combining three key elements into a single, clean script:
-A first, clean break of that swing level (displacement style break)
-A Fair Value Gap that overlaps a breaker candle body range
Instead of plotting every pivot or every imbalance independently, the script waits for a specific sequence: price establishes a valid swing, breaks that swing for the first time, and prints a setup only when the resulting context aligns with a valid, volatility filtered FVG and a clearly defined breaker range.
Each detected setup is drawn directly on the chart with labeled zones (Breaker and FVG) and is then actively monitored. If price violates the breaker boundary based on your chosen invalidation basis (Close or Wick), the setup is marked inactive and can optionally be removed to keep the chart clean.
This indicator is designed for traders who work with ICT style concepts such as liquidity runs, displacement, breaker blocks, and imbalance reversion, and who want a structured, rules based visualization rather than discretionary drawing.
🔹 Features
🔸 Fair Value Gap Detection With Volatility Filtering
Bullish and bearish FVGs are detected using classic three candle imbalance logic. To avoid low quality gaps during compression, the script applies an ATR based minimum size filter using the “FVG Min Size (ATR Multiplier)” input. Only gaps larger than ATR * threshold are considered valid.
🔸 First Break Validation (Clean Break Logic)
A key part of the model is identifying a “first break” of a swing level. The script checks whether the swing price has already been invalidated between the swing bar and the current bar. If it has, the swing is ignored. This helps reduce repeated signals and focuses on fresh structural breaks.
🔸 Breaker and FVG Confluence With Overlap Requirement
After a valid break occurs, the script defines a breaker range using the body of the swing candle (open and close). A setup is only created if this breaker body range overlaps the detected FVG price range. This overlap requirement is what filters many “almost” conditions and keeps signals more selective.
Bullish Unicorn:
Bearish Unicorn:
🔸 Configurable Invalidation Basis (Close or Wick)
You can choose how a setup fails:
-Close: invalidation requires a candle close beyond the breaker boundary
-Wick: invalidation occurs as soon as any wick crosses beyond the breaker boundary
This allows the tool to adapt to different trading styles, from conservative confirmation to more sensitive risk control.
🔸 Automatic Cleanup of Failed Setups
If “Delete Invalidated Setups” is enabled, the script removes the breaker box, FVG box, and label as soon as the setup is invalidated. If disabled, the zones remain visible for review while the setup is marked inactive internally.
🔸 Clear Chart Visuals
Each setup plots:
-A labeled Breaker zone box
-A labeled FVG zone box
-A directional Unicorn label (Bull or Bear) that updates position as the chart advances
Colors for bullish and bearish structures are fully configurable.
🔸 Alert Conditions
Two alert conditions are provided:
-Bullish Unicorn Setup Detected
-Bearish Unicorn Setup Detected
Alerts trigger only on the bar a new setup is created.
🔹 Calculations
This section summarizes the main computations used internally. The goal here is to explain the model mechanics rather than reproduce every implementation detail.
1. Swing Detection (Pivot High / Pivot Low)
Swing levels are detected using a symmetric pivot definition with “Swing Length” bars on both sides:
float ph = ta.pivothigh(high, swingLength, swingLength)
float pl = ta.pivotlow(low, swingLength, swingLength)
When a pivot is confirmed, its price and originating bar index are stored:
-Swing High: price = pivot high, isHigh = true
-Swing Low: price = pivot low, isHigh = false
The script keeps a limited history (most recent swings) to stay efficient.
2. Fair Value Gap Detection
FVGs use the classic three candle displacement imbalance:
Bullish FVG condition
bool isBullFVG = high < low
Bullish gap range is defined as:
-Top = low
-Bottom = high
Bearish FVG condition
bool isBearFVG = low > high
Bearish gap range is defined as:
-Top = low
-Bottom = high
3. ATR Based Minimum Gap Filter
ATR is computed (length 14), then the gap size is compared against a user threshold:
float atr = ta.atr(14)
bool validBullFVG = isBullFVG and (bullFvgTop - bullFvgBot) > (atr * fvgThreshold)
bool validBearFVG = isBearFVG and (bearFvgTop - bearFvgBot) > (atr * fvgThreshold)
This prevents very small imbalances from generating setups in low volatility conditions.
4. “First Break” Check Using Level Invalidation Scan
Before accepting a swing break, the script scans forward from the swing bar to the current bar to confirm the level has not already been breached. The scan can be based on wick or close:
-Wick mode: uses high or low
-Close mode: uses close
Conceptually:
priceToCheck = mode == "Wick" ? (checkBelow ? low : high) : close
If a prior breach is found, the swing is treated as already invalidated and is ignored for setup creation.
5. Break Of Structure Condition
Bullish break requirement
A bullish setup requires breaking a stored swing high with bullish body intent:
-close > swingHighPrice
-open < close
Bearish break requirement
A bearish setup requires breaking a stored swing low with bearish body intent:
-close < swingLowPrice
-open > close
An additional proximity filter is applied in the bearish branch to reduce weak or overly extended breaks by requiring the prior close to be reasonably near the swing level.
6. Breaker Range Construction
Once a qualifying swing is found, the breaker range is derived from the body of the swing candle (the candle at the swing bar index). The body boundaries are:
float breakerTop = math.max(bOpen, bClose)
float breakerBot = math.min(bOpen, bClose)
This models the breaker as the candle body range rather than full wick range, which typically produces more practical invalidation boundaries.
7. Overlap Test Between Breaker and FVG
A setup is only created if the breaker body overlaps the FVG zone. Conceptually the script rejects cases where one range is fully above or fully below the other:
-If there is no overlap, no setup is created
-If overlap exists, the Unicorn setup is valid
8. Active Monitoring and Invalidation
Each setup remains active until invalidated. Invalidation is evaluated every bar using your selected basis:
-Close basis: compares close to breaker boundary
-Wick basis: compares high or low to breaker boundary
Bullish invalidation
Setup fails if price crosses below breaker bottom.
Bearish invalidation
Setup fails if price crosses above breaker top.
If deletion is enabled, all drawings related to that setup are removed immediately on invalidation.
9. Drawing Updates and Object Lifecycle
Breaker and FVG boxes are extended to the right while the setup is active to keep zones visible into the near future. The Unicorn label is also repositioned as new bars print so the most recent context stays readable.

FVG Heatmap [Hash Capital Research]FVG Map
FVG Map is a visual Fair Value Gap (FVG) mapping tool built to make displacement imbalances easy to see and manage in real time. It detects 3-candle FVG zones, plots them as clean heatmap boxes, tracks partial mitigation (how much of the zone has been filled), and summarizes recent “fill speed” behavior in a small regime dashboard.
This is an indicator (not a strategy). It does not place trades and it does not publish performance claims. It is a market-structure visualization tool intended to support discretionary or systematic workflows.
What this script detects
Bullish FVG (gap below price)
A bullish FVG is detected when the candle from two bars ago has a high below the current candle’s low.
The zone spans from that prior high up to the current low.
Bearish FVG (gap above price)
A bearish FVG is detected when the candle from two bars ago has a low above the current candle’s high.
The zone spans from the current high up to that prior low.
What makes it useful
Heatmap zones (clean, readable FVG boxes)
Bullish zones plot below price. Bearish zones plot above price.
Partial fill tracking (mitigation progress)
As price trades back into a zone, the script visually shows how much of the zone has been filled.
Mitigation modes (your definition of “filled”)
• Full Fill: price fully trades through the zone
• 50% Fill: price reaches the midpoint of the zone
• First Touch: price touches the zone one time
Optional auto-cleanup
Optionally remove zones once they’re mitigated to keep the chart clean.
Fill-Speed Regime Dashboard
When zones get mitigated, the script records how many bars it took to fill and summarizes the recent environment:
• Average fill time
• Median fill time
• % fast fills vs % slow fills
• Regime label: choppy/mean-revert, trending/displacement, or mixed
How to use
Use FVG zones as structure, not guaranteed signals.
• Bullish zones are often watched as potential support on pullbacks.
• Bearish zones are often watched as potential resistance on rallies.
The fill-speed dashboard helps provide context: fast fills tend to appear in more rotational conditions, while slow fills tend to appear in stronger trend/displacement conditions.

Notes
FVGs are not guaranteed reversal points. Fill-speed/regime is descriptive of recent behavior and should be treated as context, not prediction. On realtime candles, visuals may update as the bar forms.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔬 TECHNICAL ARCHITECTURE
This indicator does NOT rely on TradingView's built-in ta.pivothigh() / ta.pivotlow() functions.
Instead, it implements a custom finite-state machine (FSM) that manages multiple monitoring states, alternating dynamically between Uptrend and Downtrend modes based on confirmed breakouts.
Core Components:
• State Machine Engine Multiple internal states handle candidate detection, validation, and confirmation phases. The system transitions between states based on price action triggers and confirmation criteria.
• Dual-Confirmation System Each swing point must satisfy two independent filters before validation:
o Time-based filter (minimum candles)
o Price-based filter (minimum retracement %)
• Directional Breakout Logic Separate breakout detection routines for uptrend continuation, downtrend continuation, and trend inversion scenarios. Each triggers specific state transitions.
• FVG Classification Engine Automatically distinguishes between Imbalance zones (post-confirmation FVGs) and Inducement zones (pre-confirmation FVGs) based on breakout timing context.
• Dynamic Zone Lifecycle Zones are created, monitored, and closed through a managed lifecycle with configurable touch sensitivity.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚙️ CONFIGURABLE PARAMETERS

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎨 ZONE COLOR CODING
• 🔴 Imbalance Supply (Red): Bearish FVG - potential resistance/short entry
• 🟢 Imbalance Demand (Green): Bullish FVG - potential support/long entry
• 🟠 Inducement Supply (Orange): Pre-breakout bearish FVG - possible stop-hunt zone
• 🔵 Inducement Demand (Blue): Pre-breakout bullish FVG - possible stop-hunt zone
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
💡 HOW IT WORKS
1. Initializes state machine in UPTREND mode, searching for first swing Low
2. Tracks price movement and triggers candidate states upon potential reversals
3. Validates candidates through dual-confirmation (time + price filters)
4. Upon confirmation, scans price range for FVG patterns (3-candle gaps)
5. Classifies detected FVGs based on breakout timing (Inducement vs Imbalance)
6. Monitors breakout levels - triggers state transitions on confirmed breaks
7. Alternates between Uptrend/Downtrend modes based on breakout direction
8. Manages zone lifecycle - closes zones when price retraces into them
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔧 BEST USED FOR
• Identifying key support/resistance levels with liquidity context
• Spotting potential reversal zones (imbalances)
• Avoiding stop-hunt traps (inducement awareness)
• Trend direction confirmation
• Breakout trading setups with confluence
• Multi-timeframe structure and liquidity analysis
• Understanding where institutional orders may be resting
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚠️ NOTES
• Works best on higher timeframes (1H+) for cleaner structure
• Inducement zones often convert to Imbalance zones after breakout confirmation
• Zone Retracement % allows fine-tuning: 0% = first touch, 25% = quarter penetration, 100% = full traversal
• Inactive zones remain visible (faded) to show historical liquidity levels
• Use Replay Mode when backtesting to prevent buffer overflow errors

Fair Value Gap Signals [Kodexius]Fair Value Gap Signals is an advanced market structure tool that automatically detects and tracks Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), evaluates the quality of each gap, and highlights high value reaction zones with visual metrics and signal markers.
The script is designed for traders who focus on liquidity concepts, order flow and mean reversion. It goes beyond basic FVG plotting by continuously monitoring how price interacts with each gap and by quantifying three key aspects of each zone:
-Entry velocity inside the gap
-Volume absorption during tests
-Structural integrity and depth of penetration
The result is a dynamic, information rich visualization of which gaps are being respected, which are being absorbed, and where potential reversals or continuations are most likely to occur.
All visual elements are configurable, including the maximum number of visible gaps per direction, mitigation method (close or wick) and an ATR based filter to ignore insignificant gaps in low volatility environments.
🔹 Features
🔸 Automated Fair Value Gap Detection
The script detects both bullish and bearish FVGs based on classic three candle logic:
Bullish FVG: current low is strictly above the high from two bars ago
Bearish FVG: current high is strictly below the low from two bars ago
🔸 ATR Based Gap Filter
To avoid clutter and low quality signals, the script can ignore very small gaps using an ATR based filter.
🔸Per Gap State Machine and Lifecycle
Each gap is tracked with an internal status:
Fresh: gap has just formed and has not been tested
Testing: price is currently trading inside the gap
Tested: gap was tested and left, waiting for a potential new test
Rejected: price entered the gap and then rejected away from it
Filled: gap is considered fully mitigated and no longer active
This state machine allows the script to distinguish between simple touches, multiple tests and meaningful reversals, and to trigger different alerts accordingly.
🔸 Visual Ranking of Gaps by Metrics
For each active gap, three additional horizontal rank bars are drawn on top of the gap area:
Rank 1 (Vel): maximum entry velocity inside the gap
Rank 2 (Vol): relative test volume compared to average volume
Rank 3 (Dpt): remaining safety of the gap based on maximum penetration depth
These rank bars extend horizontally from the creation bar, and their length is a visual score between 0 and 1, scaled to the age of the gap. Longer bars represent stronger or more favorable conditions.
🔸Signals and Rejection Markers
When a gap shows signs of rejection (price enters the gap and then closes away from it with sufficient activity), the script can print a signal label at the reaction point. These markers summarize the internal metrics of the gap using a tooltip:
-Velocity percentage
-Volume percentage
-Safety score
-Number of tests
🔸 Flexible Mitigation Logic (Close or Wick)
You can choose how mitigation is defined via the Mitigation Method input:
Close: the gap is considered filled only when the closing price crosses the gap boundary
Wick: a full fill is detected as soon as any wick crosses the gap boundary
🔸 Alert Conditions
-New FVG formed
-Price entering a gap (testing)
-Gap fully filled and invalidated
-Rejection signal generated
🔹Calculations
This section summarizes the main calculations used under the hood. Only the core logic is covered.
1. ATR Filter and Gap Size
The script uses a configurable ATR length to filter out small gaps. First the ATR is computed:
float atrVal = ta.atr(atrLength)
Gap size for both directions is then measured:
float gapSizeBull = low - high
float gapSizeBear = low - high
If useAtrFilter is enabled, gaps smaller than atrVal are ignored. This ties the minimum gap size to the current volatility regime.
2. Fair Value Gap Detection
The basic FVG conditions use a three bar structure:
bool fvgBull = low > high
bool fvgBear = high < low
For bullish gaps the script stores:
-top as low of the current bar
-bottom as high
For bearish gaps:
-top as high of the current bar
-bottom as low
This defines the price range that is considered the imbalance area.
3. Depth and Safety Score
Depth measures how far price has penetrated into the gap since its creation. For each bar, the script computes a currentDepth and updates the maximum depth:
float currentDepth = 0.0
if g.isBullish
if l < g.top
currentDepth := g.top - l
else
if h > g.bottom
currentDepth := h - g.bottom
if currentDepth > g.maxDepth
g.maxDepth := currentDepth
The safety score expresses how much of the gap remains intact:
float depthRatio = g.maxDepth / gapSize
float safetyScore = math.max(0.0, 1.0 - depthRatio)
safetyScore near 1: gap is mostly untouched
safetyScore near 0: gap is mostly or fully filled
4. Velocity Metric
Velocity captures how aggressively price moves inside the gap. It is based on the body to range ratio of each bar that trades within the gap and rewards bars that move in the same direction as the gap:
float barRange = h - l
float bodyRatio = math.abs(close - open) / barRange
float directionBonus = 0.0
if g.isBullish and close > open
directionBonus := 0.2
else if not g.isBullish and close < open
directionBonus := 0.2
float currentVelocity = math.min(bodyRatio + directionBonus, 1.0)
The gap keeps track of the strongest observed value:
if currentVelocity > g.maxVelocity
g.maxVelocity := currentVelocity
This maximum is later used as velScore when building the velocity rank bar.
5. Volume Accumulation and Volume Score
While price is trading inside a gap, the script accumulates the traded volume:
if isInside
g.testVolume += volume
It also keeps track of the number of tests and the volume at the start of the first test:
if g.status == "Fresh"
g.status := "Testing"
g.testCount := 1
g.testStartVolume := volume
An average volume is computed using a 20 period SMA:
float volAvg = ta.sma(volume, 20)
The expected volume is approximated as:
float expectedVol = volAvg * math.max(1, (bar_index - g.index) / 2)
The volume score is then:
float volScore = math.min(g.testVolume / expectedVol, 1.0)
This produces a normalized 0 to 1 metric that shows whether the gap has attracted more or less volume than expected over its lifetime.
6. Rank Bar Scaling
All three scores are projected visually along the time axis as horizontal bars. The script uses the age of the gap in bars as the maximum width:
float maxWidth = math.max(bar_index - g.index, 1)
Then each metric is mapped to a bar length:
int len1 = int(math.max(1, maxWidth * velScore))
g.rankBox1.set_right(g.index + len1)
int len2 = int(math.max(1, maxWidth * volScore))
g.rankBox2.set_right(g.index + len2)
int len3 = int(math.max(1, maxWidth * safetyScore))
g.rankBox3.set_right(g.index + len3)
This creates an intuitive visual representation where stronger metrics produce longer rank bars, making it easy to quickly compare the relative quality of multiple FVGs on the chart.
Rolling Volume Profile [Matrix Volume Heatmap] by NXT2017Description
This indicator offers a unique visual approach to Volume Profile analysis. Instead of the traditional histogram bars or boxes, this script renders a Rolling Volume Profile as a background "Matrix Heatmap" directly on your chart.
By dividing the price action of the most recent N-candles into 30 horizontal zones (buckets), it visualizes where the most trading activity has occurred within your defined lookback period. The visualization uses dynamic transparency to highlight the Point of Control (POC) and high-volume nodes, while fading out low-volume areas.
🧠 How it Works
The script operates on a "Rolling Window" basis, meaning it recalculates the profile at every bar to reflect the immediate market context.
Dynamic Range: It calculates the highest High and lowest Low of the user-defined Lookback Length (default: 1000 bars).
Bucket Slicing: This vertical range is divided into 30 equal price buckets.
Volume Distribution (Overlap Logic): The script iterates through the historical data. If a candle is large and spans multiple buckets, its volume is distributed proportionally across those buckets. This ensures a more realistic profile compared to simply assigning volume to the close price.
Heatmap Visualization:
The script calculates the Maximum Volume (POC) within the profile.
It uses a Reference Length to normalize this maximum.
Dynamic Opacity: Zones with volume close to the maximum are rendered opaque (solid). Zones with low relative volume become highly transparent. This creates an automatic "Heatmap" effect, allowing you to instantly spot the most significant price levels.
⚙️ Settings
Lookback Length (candles): Defines how far back the profile calculates volume (e.g., 1000 bars).
POC Reference Length: Defines the smoothing window for the 100% volume baseline. Increasing this stabilizes the color changes; decreasing it makes the heatmap more reactive to sudden volume spikes.
Profil Color: Choose the base color for the matrix. The transparency is calculated automatically.
💡 Use Case
This tool is ideal for traders who want to see the "Value Area" of the current range without cluttering the chart with complex boxes or side-bars. It works excellent as a background context tool to identify:
High Volume Nodes (Support/Resistance)
Low Volume Nodes (Price gaps/Rejection areas)
Migrating Points of Control (Trend direction)
Imbalance Heatmap (Free) – pc75A clean, efficient visualisation of liquidity voids, 3-bar imbalances, and price inefficiency zones.
This indicator highlights where the market left gaps in the order flow — areas price often revisits to rebalance.
Imbalances are displayed as stacked horizontal “heatmap strips,” making it easy to see:
Where aggressive buying/selling left a void
Whether multiple voids overlap (stronger zones)
Whether price is likely to return to fill the imbalance
How old a void is (older zones are marked differently)
This is a refined v6 rewrite based on a script I liked, completely modernised with cleaner logic, better performance, and optional labels.
🔍 Features
3-bar liquidity void detection (ICT-style logic)
Bullish imbalance when price displaces upward with no wick overlap
Bearish imbalance for downward displacement
✔ Heatmap-style visualisation
Each imbalance is sliced into multiple thin horizontal bands to create a visual density effect.
✔ Stacking intelligence
If a new void overlaps previous ones, the heatmap is drawn brighter, showing areas where the market left multiple inefficiencies.
✔ “Void xN” labels
Optional labels show how many overlapping voids existed at the moment the imbalance formed.
✔ Automatic deletion when filled
As soon as price trades back through a slice, that slice is removed.
This keeps the chart clean and focuses only on active inefficiencies.
✔ Smart ageing
Older voids are marked with a subtle border so you can distinguish freshly formed inefficiencies from historical ones.
✔ Alerts
Set alerts for when price taps a stacked imbalance zone (“Void x2” and above).
⚙ Inputs & Customisation
ATR threshold (optional)
Minimum tick size gap
Number of heatmap slices
Bullish / bearish toggles
Label toggles
Colour and transparency configuration
Max slice memory for performance
💡 How to Use
Imbalance zones often behave as:
Magnets → price gravitates toward them
Support/resistance → structure respects inefficiencies
Continuity points → used with market structure shifts
Targets → for both scalpers and swing traders
Strong (stacked) voids typically represent areas of institutional displacement, where the market is more likely to return for rebalancing.

Aurora Reversal Suite: Liquidity & Inversion ModelConcept & Methodology The Aurora Reversal Suite is not a general-purpose indicator; it is a hard-coded algorithmic implementation of a specific institutional reversal model often referred to as the "2022 Mentorship Model" or "Sweep-to-Inversion" setup.
While many scripts display Liquidity Sweeps or Fair Value Gaps individually, this script solves the problem of "confluence fatigue" by algorithmically enforcing a strict order of operations. It does not alert on every sweep; it alerts only when a specific sequence of price action events occurs in a verified order.
The Algorithmic Logic (How it Works) The core value of this script lies in its conditional filtering logic, which automates the following manual verification process:
Event A: Liquidity Sweep
The script first monitors key institutional levels: Previous Day High/Low, Session High/Low (Asia/London/NY), and dynamic Swing Points.
It detects a "Sweep" event when price breaches a level but fails to close beyond it (or closes back inside within a defined lookback period).
Event B: Displacement & Inversion
Unlike standard FVG indicators, this script searches specifically for Inversion FVGs (iFVG) that form immediately following the sweep event.
The script logic requires that the iFVG be created by the displacement leg that reverses the sweep. This binds the "Entry Signal" directly to the "Liquidity Event."
Event C: Algorithmic Filtering (The "Strict" Mode)
To filter out false positives common in choppy markets, the script applies a multi-layer filter before printing a signal:
Volume Qualification: The signal bar's volume must exceed a user-defined multiple of the N-period average volume (default 1.5x) to confirm institutional participation.
SMT Divergence Filter: The script cross-references a correlated asset (e.g., NQ vs. ES or EU vs. DXY). If enabled, a signal is only valid if the correlated asset failed to make a matching high/low at the moment of the sweep (SMT Divergence).
Bias Alignment: The script calculates directional bias using a waterfall logic (Daily > 4H > 1H). Signals counter to this calculated bias are suppressed in "Strict" mode.
Included Features & Components
Automated Market Structure: Real-time labeling of BOS (Break of Structure) and MSS (Market Structure Shift) based on swing point logic.
Session Killzones: Visual boxes for Asia, London, and NY sessions with auto-extending high/low lines to track session liquidity.
Multi-Timeframe Dashboard: A calculated table displaying the trend state of the Daily, 4H, and 1H timeframes to assist with top-down analysis.
Power of 3 (PO3) Overlay: Visualization of higher-timeframe candle geometry on lower-timeframe charts to identify accumulation/distribution phases.
Why This Mashup is Necessary Attempting to trade this specific reversal model using separate indicators results in chart clutter and conflicting signals. By combining the Sweep detection, iFVG creation, and SMT filtering into a single codebase, we can programmatically eliminate "naked" sweeps that have no displacement, providing a cleaner and more objective view of the market structure.
Settings & Customization
Signal Mode: Choose between "Simple" (Price Action only) or "Strict" (Trend + Volume filtered).
SMT Input: Manually define the correlated asset ticker for divergence checks.
Visuals: Fully customizable colors for Bullish/Bearish scenarios to fit light or dark themes.

JP7FX Signals ProJP7FX Signals Pro
Smart session signals based on structure, liquidity shifts and volatility filters.
Designed for use on the 1 minute timeframe.
What this tool does
This indicator builds signals around three things traders track every day.
• session ranges for Asia, Frankfurt, London and New York
• Fair Value Gap behaviour
• Supertrend shifts with volatility confirmation
The script draws each session range on your chart. It tracks when price breaks a session high or low, then checks if the market is above or below the daily open. These conditions help filter trades by direction during different sessions.
It also detects bullish and bearish Fair Value Gaps. The script tracks when an FVG forms, when price enters the imbalance and when it gets mitigated. These checks create part of the signal logic.
Supertrend is used as an extra filter. A crossover above or below the Supertrend gives a directional bias. When combined with session behaviour and FVG conditions, the script can mark possible long or short signals during London or New York.
How the signals form
A signal only prints when the script has all conditions in place.
This includes:
• a session range break in the correct direction
• a price position relative to the daily open
• confirmation from Supertrend
• FVG creation or mitigation on the right side of price
• liquidity taken in previous sessions
These rules reduce noise and avoid signals that appear in weak conditions.
What the indicator is for
• understanding how sessions behave on the 1 minute chart
• tracking liquidity behaviour
• seeing when a clean break and trend shift takes place
• getting notified when the market forms the conditions you set
This is not a buy or sell system on its own
Signals do not replace analysis. You still need market structure, higher timeframe direction, orderblocks or your own trade model.
A signal is only a prompt to look at the chart, not a confirmation to enter a trade.
Price can shift quickly around sessions, so check the context before acting on any alert.
Important notes
• designed for the 1 minute timeframe
• signals do not guarantee trend continuation
• conditions can form in strong or weak market phases
• use your own risk rules and validation before entering trades
JP7FX Signals Pro helps you track session behaviour and FVG interaction more efficiently, but trading decisions still need your full chart process.
FVG / Imbalance MTF Pro (4 HTFs + Alerts) - (@JP7FX)FVG / Imbalance MTF Pro (@JP7FX)
This indicator finds and plots Fair Value Gaps across up to four higher timeframes on a single chart. It shows them as lines, zones, 50 percent levels and labels, and can fire alerts when new gaps form or when price mitigates them.
Core logic
The script detects bullish and bearish FVGs using the classic three candle logic:
• Bullish FVG when high is below the current low.
• Bearish FVG when low is above the current high.
All logic runs on the selected higher timeframes through request.security, then projects the zones down onto your current chart timeframe. The script also checks that your chart timeframe is equal to or lower than the selected HTFs so the plots stay meaningful.
Multi timeframe control
You can configure up to four separate FVG layers: TF1, TF2, TF3 and TF4.
For each TF you can choose:
• Timeframe (or link it to the chart).
• Display mode, Lines and Zones, Zones Only, Lines Only, or Disable.
• Whether to show the 50 percent line.
• Whether to show a label with the TF name next to each FVG.
Inputs also convert the timeframe into minutes and hours so labels can show clear tags such as “15m”, “1h” and so on.
Visuals per timeframe
For every timeframe you can set:
• Entry and stop FVG line colours.
• 50 percent line colour and line style.
• Bullish and bearish zone fill colours.
• Separate colours for mitigated bullish and mitigated bearish zones.
• Label text colours for demand and supply.
Each FVG can draw:
• Two lines for the “entry” and “stop” edges of the gap.
• An optional 50 percent line through the zone.
• A shaded box that tracks the zone as price trades into it.
• A label that shows the originating timeframe.
Line and zone behaviour
Global settings let you control:
• Maximum number of FVG lines and zones kept on the chart.
• Line style for FVG edges and 50 percent lines.
• Whether lines and zones extend to the right.
• Whether zones update with price movement as price trades deeper.
• Whether the zone colour changes once the FVG has been mitigated.
• Label offset so you can push the TF labels to the right of price.
• An option to avoid overlapping zones per timeframe by checking for box overlap.
The script uses arrays of lines, boxes and labels for each TF and for demand and supply separately. It removes the oldest objects once the max count is hit and deletes or recolours zones when price reaches them.
Bar colouring
You can optionally colour the bar that creates the chart timeframe FVG.
• Bullish FVG origin bar can show as green.
• Bearish FVG origin bar can show as red.
Alerts
The indicator exposes alertcondition signals for both creation and mitigation. For each timeframe it supports:
• FVG zone created, bullish or bearish.
• Bullish FVG mitigated.
• Bearish FVG mitigated.
You choose the alert pack per TF through the inputs, then set the alert from the chart by right clicking the indicator and adding an alert.
Use case
This tool is for traders who map and trade Fair Value Gaps across multiple higher timeframes and want clean, configurable MTF FVG zones with clear labels, mitigation behaviour and alerts all in one script.
FVG Tracker Pro (@JP7FX)FVG Tracker Pro (JP7FX)
FVG Tracker Pro monitors single timeframe Fair Value Gaps and tracks their behaviour over time. It shows when an FVG forms, when it closes and which candle completes the mitigation.
Features
• Tracks old FVGs so users can review how price interacted with previous gaps.
• Highlights when an FVG is fully mitigated and identifies the closing candle.
• Alerts for new FVG creation and FVG mitigation.
• Optional bar colours, visibility filters and 50 percent lines.
• Works on any asset and timeframe.
How It Helps
• Allows users to follow the lifecycle of each FVG.
• Reduces manual work by marking creation and mitigation automatically.
• Helps traders who study Smart Money concepts and price inefficiencies.
Alerts
Alert conditions are included for:
• New FVG creation
• Full mitigation of an FVG
Users can tailor alert settings to match their preference.
FVG Matrix - Orderblock, Expansion & Rejection(@JP7FX)FVG Matrix (JP7FX)
FVG Matrix detects and displays multiple types of Fair Value Gaps. It gives traders a clear view of imbalance behaviour without manual marking.
FVG Types
The indicator identifies five categories of FVGs:
• Standard FVGs
Three candle price inefficiencies.
• Orderblock FVGs
Gaps that form near orderblocks.
• Expansion FVGs
Imbalances created during strong impulsive moves.
• Consolidation FVGs
Gaps within tight ranges.
• Rejection FVGs
Gaps that show rejection behaviour when price returns.
Each type can be enabled, disabled or recoloured.
Features
• Multi type FVG detection across all timeframes.
• 50 percent mitigation tracking to show partial fills.
• Alerts for FVG creation and mitigation.
• Control over whether mitigated FVGs remain on the chart.
• Full colour and visibility customisation.
Alerts
The indicator includes alert conditions for new FVG creation and FVG mitigation.
Users can choose which FVG types trigger alerts.
Use Cases
Suitable for traders who track imbalance behaviour or follow Smart Money concepts. The indicator reduces chart work by automating the identification and organisation of Fair Value Gaps.
Obsidian Flux Matrix# Obsidian Flux Matrix | JackOfAllTrades
Made with my Senior Level AI Pine Script v6 coding bot for the community!
Narrative Overview
Obsidian Flux Matrix (OFM) is an open-source Pine Script v6 study that fuses social sentiment, higher timeframe trend bias, fair-value-gap detection, liquidity raids, VWAP gravitation, session profiling, and a diagnostic HUD. The layout keeps the obsidian palette so critical overlays stay readable without overwhelming a price chart.
Purpose & Scope
OFM focuses on actionable structure rather than marketing claims. It documents every driver that powers its confluence engine so reviewers understand what triggers each visual.
Core Analytical Pillars
1. Social Pulse Engine
Sentiment Webhook Feed: Accepts normalized scores (-1 to +1). Signals only arm when the EMA-smoothed value exceeds the `sentimentMin` input (0.35 by default).
Volume Confirmation: Requires local volume > 30-bar average × `volSpikeMult` (default 2.0) before sentiment flags.
EMA Cross Validation: Fast EMA 8 crossing above/below slow EMA 21 keeps momentum aligned with flow.
Momentum Alignment: Multi-timeframe momentum composite must agree (positive for longs, negative for shorts).
2. Peer Momentum Heatmap
Multi-Timeframe Blend: RSI + Stoch RSI fetched via request.security() on 1H/4H/1D by default.
Composite Scoring: Each timeframe votes +1/-1/0; totals are clamped between -3 and +3.
Intraday Readability: Configurable band thickness (1-5) so scalpers see context without losing space.
Dynamic Opacity: Stronger agreement boosts column opacity for quick bias checks.
3. Trend & Displacement Framework
Dual EMA Ribbon: Cyan/magenta ribbon highlights immediate posture.
HTF Bias: A higher-timeframe EMA (default 55 on 4H) sets macro direction.
Displacement Score: Body-to-ATR ratio (>1.4 default) detects impulses that seed FVGs or VWAP raids.
ATR Normalization: All thresholds float with volatility so the study adapts to assets and regimes.
4. Intelligent Fair Value Gap (FVG) System
Gap Detection: Three-candle logic (bullish: low > high ; bearish: high < low ) with ATR-sized minimums (0.15 × ATR default).
Overlap Prevention: Price-range checks stop redundant boxes.
Spacing Control: `fvgMinSpacing` (default 5) avoids stacking from the same impulse.
Storage Caps: Max three FVGs per side unless the user widens the limit.
Session Awareness: Kill zone filters keep taps focused on London/NY if desired.
Auto Cleanup: Boxes delete when price closes beyond their invalidation level.
5. VWAP Magnet + Liquidity Raid Engine
Session or Rolling VWAP: Toggle resets to match intraday or rolling preferences.
Equal High/Low Scanner: Looks back 20 bars by default for liquidity pools.
Displacement Filter: ATR multiplier ensures raids represent genuine liquidity sweeps.
Mean Reversion Focus: Signals fire when price displaces back toward VWAP following a raid.
6. Session Range Breakout System
Initial Balance Tracking: First N bars (15 default) define the session box.
Breakout Logic: Requires simultaneous liquidity spikes, nearby FVG activity, and supportive momentum.
Z-Score Volume Filter: >1.5σ by default to filter noisy moves.
7. Lifestyle Liquidity Scanner
Volume Z-Scores: 50-bar baseline highlights statistically significant spikes.
Smart Money Footprints: Bottom-of-chart squares color-code buy vs sell participation.
Panel Memory: HUD logs the last five raid timestamps, direction, and normalized size.
8. Risk Matrix & Diagnostic HUD
HUD Structure: Table in the top-right summarizes HTF bias, sentiment, momentum, range state, liquidity memory, and current risk references.
Signal Tags: Aggregates SPS, FVG, VWAP, Range, and Liquidity states into a compact string.
Risk Metrics: Swing-based stops (5-bar lookback) + ATR targets (1.5× default) keep risk transparent.
Signal Families & Alerts
Social Pulse (SPS): Volume-confirmed sentiment alignment; triangle markers with “SPS”.
Kill-Zone FVG: Session + HTF alignment + FVG tap; arrow markers plus SL/TP labels.
Local FVG: Captures local reversals when HTF bias has not flipped yet.
VWAP Raid: Equal-high/low raids that snap toward VWAP; “VWAP” label markers.
Range Breakout: Initial balance violations with liquidity and imbalance confirmation; circle markers.
Liquidity Spike: Z-score spikes ≥ threshold; square markers along the baseline.
Visual Design & Customization
Theme Palette: Primary background RGB (12,6,24). Accent shading RGB (26,10,48). Long accents RGB (88,174,255). Short accents RGB (219,109,255).
Stylized Candles: Optional overlay using theme colors.
Signal Toggles: Independently enable markers, heatmap, and diagnostics.
Label Spacing: Auto-spacing enforces ≥4-bar gaps to prevent text overlap.
Customization & Workflow Notes
Adjust ATR/FVG thresholds when volatility shifts.
Re-anchor sentiment to your webhook cadence; EMA smoothing (default 5) dampens noise.
Reposition the HUD by editing the `table.new` coordinates.
Use multiples of the chart timeframe for HTF requests to minimize load.
Session inputs accept exchange-local time; align them to your market.
Performance & Compliance
Pure Pine v6: Single-line statements, no `lookahead_on`.
Resource Safe: Arrays trimmed, boxes limited, `request.security` cached.
Repaint Awareness: Signals confirm on close; alerts mirror on-chart logic.
Runtime Safety: Arrays/loops guard against `na`.
Use Cases
Measure when social sentiment aligns with structure.
Plan ICT-style intraday rebalances around session-specific FVG taps.
Fade VWAP raids when displacement shows exhaustion.
Watch initial balance breaks backed by statistical volume.
Keep risk/target references anchored in ATR logic.
Signal Logic Snapshot
Social Pulse Long/Short: `sentimentEMA` gated by `sentimentMin`, `volSpike`, EMA 8/21 cross, and `momoComposite` sign agreement. Keeps hype tied to structural follow-through.
Kill-Zone FVG Long/Short: Requires session filter, HTF EMA bias alignment, and an active FVG tap (`bullFvgTap` / `bearFvgTap`). Labels include swing stops + ATR targets pulled from `swingLookback` and `liqTargetMultiple`.
Local FVG Long/Short: Uses `localBullish` / `localBearish` heuristics (EMA slope, displacement, sequential closes) to surface intraday reversals even when HTF bias has not flipped.
VWAP Raids: Detect equal-high/equal-low sweeps (`raidHigh`, `raidLow`) that revert toward `sessionVwap` or rolling VWAP when displacement exceeds `vwapAlertDisplace`.
Range Breakouts: Combine `rangeComplete`, breakout confirmation, liquidity spikes, and nearby FVG activity for statistically backed initial balance breaks.
Liquidity Spikes: Volume Z-score > `zScoreThreshold` logs direction, size, and timestamp for the HUD and optional review workflows.
Session Logic & VWAP Handling
Kill zone + NY session inputs use TradingView’s session strings; `f_inSession()` drives both visual shading and whether FVG taps are tradeable when `killZoneOnly` is true.
Session VWAP resets using cumulative price × volume sums that restart when the daily timestamp changes; rolling VWAP falls back to `ta.vwap(hlc3)` for instruments where daily resets are less relevant.
Initial balance box (`rangeBars` input) locks once complete, extends forward, and stays on chart to contextualize later liquidity raids or breakouts.
Parameter Reference
Trend: `emaFastLen`, `emaSlowLen`, `htfResolution`, `htfEmaLen`, `showEmaRibbon`, `showHtfBiasLine`.
Momentum: `tf1`, `tf2`, `tf3`, `rsiLen`, `stochLen`, `stochSmooth`, `heatmapHeight`.
Volume/Liquidity: `volLookback`, `volSpikeMult`, `zScoreLen`, `zScoreThreshold`, `equalLookback`.
VWAP & Sessions: `vwapMode`, `showVwapLine`, `vwapAlertDisplace`, `killSession`, `nySession`, `showSessionShade`, `rangeBars`.
FVG/Risk: `fvgMinTicks`, `fvgLookback`, `fvgMinSpacing`, `killZoneOnly`, `liqTargetMultiple`, `swingLookback`.
Visualization Toggles: `showSignalMarkers`, `showHeatmapBand`, `showInfoPanel`, `showStylizedCandles`.
Workflow Recipes
Kill-Zone Continuation: During the defined kill session, look for `killFvgLong` or `killFvgShort` arrows that line up with `sentimentValid` and positive `momoComposite`. Use the HUD’s risk readout to confirm SL/TP distances before entering.
VWAP Raid Fade: Outside kill zone, track `raidToVwapLong/Short`. Confirm the candle body exceeds the displacement multiplier, and price crosses back toward VWAP before considering reversions.
Range Break Monitor: After the initial balance locks, mark `rangeBreakLong/Short` circles only when the momentum band is >0 or <0 respectively and a fresh FVG box sits near price.
Liquidity Spike Review: When the HUD shows “Liquidity” timestamps, hover the plotted squares at chart bottom to see whether spikes were buy/sell oriented and if local FVGs formed immediately after.

ICT Asian & London Range + First Presented FVGIndicator: ICT Sessions + First Presented FVG
What it does: This tool automates the markup of key ICT (Inner Circle Trader) timeframes and entry signals. It allows you to trade on higher timeframes (like the 5m or 15m) while the script automatically "looks inside" the 1-minute chart to find specific setups for you.
Key Features:
Session Ranges (Asian & London)
Automatically highlights the Asian Session (8 PM - Midnight NY) and London Open (2 AM - 5 AM NY).
Draws a shaded box for the session's High and Low.
New: Extends the High and Low lines to 4:00 PM NY (end of the trading day) so you can use them as liquidity targets.
The "First Presented" FVG (Sniper Logic)
It detects the very first Fair Value Gap (FVG) that forms on the 1-minute chart immediately after a session starts.
It draws this 1-minute gap on your current chart, regardless of what timeframe you are viewing.
The FVG box automatically extends to the end of the trading day (4 PM NY), showing you where price might return to "mitigate" or react later in the day.
Direction via Zone Break [by rukich]🟠 OVERVIEW
The indicator shows the direction of movement and zones: SSL, BSL, FVG.
Zones serve as support/resistance and as validation/invalidation of a movement reversal.
🟠 COMPONENTS
The direction of movement is built based on a three-candle swing high (BSL) and swing low (SSL) pattern. If swing high (BSL) and swing low (SSL) are formed, and then an internal swing high/low is formed (depending on the direction of movement), then in case the initial movement continues — for example, in an upward movement — the new swing low (SSL) will be the minimum before the update, i.e., the internal low, while the swing high (BSL) will be formed according to the three-candle pattern.
A change of direction is considered when a candle closes beyond the key swing high/low (BSL/SSL), depending on the direction of movement. For example, in an upward movement, a break occurs when a candle closes beyond the swing low (SSL). After that, the swing high (BSL) will be the nearest fractal (swing high), and the swing low (SSL) will be formed according to the three-candle pattern.
All the above logic also applies to downward movements.
Within each movement, there can be FVG zones, which can act as support/resistance or indicate weakness in the movement direction.
Note: if the movement is upward, only bullish FVG+ will be displayed; if the movement is downward, only bearish FVG- will be displayed.
Weakness of movement direction.
For example, consider an upward impulse with the nearest FVG+ zone. If the price closes beyond the lower boundary of the zone, it will be considered invalidated (inv. FVG-), which in turn indicates weakness in the movement direction and a possible local short, which may subsequently lead to a break of the entire movement.
🟠 HOW TO USE
There are only two visual settings in the configuration:
Show previous SSL/BSL – enables/disables the display of all previous SSL/BSL zones
Show Bullish/Bearish trend – enables/disables background shading between SSL and BSL for visual understanding of the movement direction
On the chart, the following are displayed:
Labels with current SSL/BSL
FVG+- / inv. FVG+- zones, for trading in the movement direction
In case the nearest FVG is invalidated, a label will appear with the text: Weak bullish/bearish & local short/long (this is not a signal, but only indicates the probability of a potential move based on the weakness of the nearest zone)
🟠 CONCLUSION
The indicator helps determine the current movement with zones for trading in the direction, and also indicates movement weakness through invalidation of the nearest zones.
FVG IFVG DetectorThe FVG IFVG Detector is a market–structure-based indicator designed to automatically detect Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) and Inversion Fair Value Gaps (IFVGs) on any timeframe. It highlights these imbalances as extended zones on the chart, helping traders identify areas where price has moved inefficiently and is likely to revisit.
Below is the detailed breakdown of what the indicator does:
1. Detects Bullish and Bearish Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)
The indicator checks for the standard 3-candle FVG structure:
Bullish FVG
Formed when high of candle (n-2) is below low of candle (n)
Indicates price moved upward too fast, leaving an imbalance below.
Bearish FVG
Formed when low of candle (n-2) is above high of candle (n)
Indicates price moved downward too fast, leaving an imbalance above.
2. Detects IFVG (Inversion Fair Value Gaps)
IFVG forms when an FVG is later retested and price reacts opposite its origin.
Bullish IFVG
A bullish FVG is created
Price returns and taps the upper boundary
The candle closes bullish (close > open)
The zone becomes a support-like inversion area
Bearish IFVG
A bearish FVG is created
Price returns and taps the lower boundary
The candle closes bearish (close < open)
The zone becomes a resistance-like inversion area
3. Draws IFVG Zones Extended to the Right
The indicator plots:
A top line
A bottom line
A filled area between the two lines
The zone extends indefinitely to the right, acting like supply/demand imbalance levels.
This makes it visually clear where price may react again in the future.
4. Separate Maximum Counts for Bullish & Bearish IFVGs
User can define:
How many bullish IFVG zones should be displayed
How many bearish IFVG zones should be displayed
Older zones are automatically removed to keep the chart clean.
5. Clean Visuals — No Labels, No Clutter
The indicator intentionally avoids:
Labels
Markers
Text overlays
Only clean, extended imbalance zones are shown for a professional SMC-style chart.
6. Fully Compatible with Any Timeframe
Works on:
Scalping (M1–M15)
Intraday (M30–H1)
Swing (H4–Daily)
The logic stays the same across all chart speeds.
7. Practical Use Cases for Traders
The indicator helps identify:
Areas where price is likely to return, react, or mitigate
Entries based on retest of imbalance
Potential zones for reversal, continuation, or trend confirmation
8. Advantages for SMC Traders
Automatically highlights hidden inefficiencies
Helps anticipate reversal zones
Filters low-quality imbalances
Provides structure-aligned entries
Reduces chart noise
Improves consistency in finding Smart Money levels
Imbalance Volume Trend📌 Imbalance Volume Trend — Fair Value Gaps + Volume Imbalance + Trend Shifts
Imbalance Volume Trend is a price-action-driven indicator that automatically detects Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), measures the volume imbalance inside each gap, and builds a dynamic trend structure based on the sequence and strength of imbalances.
It visualizes the true power behind impulsive moves and provides early signals of potential trend reversals.
🔍 Core Concept
A Fair Value Gap appears when the market moves aggressively in one direction, leaving an “unfair” price zone caused by a strong imbalance between buyers and sellers.
These zones are often revisited by price, providing high-probability trading opportunities.
This indicator not only marks FVGs but also evaluates how strong the imbalance truly was by analyzing buy/sell volume dominance on the breakout candle.
📘 How the Indicator Works
1. Automatic Fair Value Gap Detection
The indicator scans for the classic 3-candle FVG pattern:
Bullish Imbalance
Candle 2 forms the bullish impulse.
A gap remains between the High of Candle 1 and the Low of Candle 3.
The indicator draws a bullish rectangle covering this area.
Bearish Imbalance
Candle 2 forms the bearish impulse.
A gap remains between the Low of Candle 1 and the High of Candle 3.
A bearish rectangle is drawn around the imbalance.
The breakout candle (the middle candle) forms the core of the imbalance and shows the directional expansion of price.
2. Volume Imbalance Percentage (%)
A unique feature of this tool is the calculation of buyer vs seller volume dominance inside each imbalance.
Can analyze lower-timeframe volumes or tick volumes.
The indicator computes how much buyers or sellers dominated during the formation of the FVG.
A colored percentage label appears near every imbalance, showing:
Buyer dominance % for bullish gaps
Seller dominance % for bearish gaps
This helps traders understand the strength of each imbalance.
Often, during late stages of a trend, the percentage value starts to weaken — giving early warning of trend exhaustion.
3. Imbalance-Based Trend Structure
Another powerful component is the Imbalance Trend Engine, which builds a trend direction using consecutive FVGs.
A trend continues as long as new imbalances form in the same direction.
A trend reversal is detected when:
A new imbalance appears in the opposite direction, and
Its body breaks through a specified level of the previous imbalance of the current trend.
When this event occurs, the indicator plots a colored arrow marking the change in Imbalance Trend.
This creates a clean and logical price-action trend model built entirely on institutional-style imbalances.
4. Alerts & Notifications
The indicator supports TradingView alerts for:
New Imbalance Detected
Imbalance Trend Reversal
Volumetric Inverse Fair Value Gap (IFVG) [Kodexius]The Volumetric Inverse Fair Value Gap (IFVG) indicator detects and visualizes inverse fair value gaps (IFVGs) zones where previous inefficiencies in price (fair value gaps) are later invalidated or “inverted.”
Unlike traditional FVG indicators, this tool integrates volume-based analysis to quantify the bullish, bearish, and overall strength of each inversion. It visually represents these metrics within a dynamically updating box on the chart, giving traders deeper insight into market reactions when liquidity imbalances are filled and reversed.
Features
Inverse fair value gap detection
The script identifies bullish and bearish fair value gaps, stores them as pending zones, and turns them into inverse fair value gaps when price trades back through the gap in the opposite direction. Each valid inversion becomes an active IFVG zone on the chart.
Sensitivity control with ATR filter and strict mode
A minimum gap size based on ATR is used to filter out small and noisy gaps. Strict mode can be enabled so that any wick contact between the relevant candles prevents the gap from being accepted as a fair value gap. This lets you decide how clean and selective the zones should be.
Show Last N Boxes control
The indicator can keep only the most recent N IFVG zones visible. Older zones are removed from the chart once the number of active objects exceeds the user setting. This prevents clutter on higher timeframes or long histories and keeps attention on the most relevant recent zones.
Ghost box for the original gap
When the ghost option is enabled, the script draws a faint box that marks the original fair value gap from which the inverse zone came. This makes it easy to see where the initial imbalance appeared and how price later inverted that area.
Volumetric bull, bear and strength metrics
For each IFVG, the script estimates how much of the bar volume is associated with buying and how much with selling, then computes bull percentage, bear percentage and a strength score that uses a percentile rank of volume. These values are stored with the IFVG object and drive the visualization inside the zone.
Three band visual layout inside each IFVG
Each active IFVG is drawn as a container with three horizontal sections. The top band represents the bull percentage, the middle band the bear percentage and the bottom band the strength metric. The width of each bar reflects its respective value so you can read the structure of the zone at a glance.
Customizable colors and label text
Colors for bull, bear, strength, the empty background area, the ghost box and label text can be adjusted in the inputs. This allows you to match the indicator to different chart themes or highlight specific aspects such as strength or direction.
Automatic invalidation and cleanup
When price clearly closes beyond the IFVG in a way that breaks the logic of that zone, the script marks it as inactive and deletes all boxes and labels linked to it. Only valid and active IFVGs remain on the chart, which keeps the display clean and focused.
Calculations
1. Detecting Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)
A fair value gap is identified when price action leaves an imbalance between candle wicks. Depending on the mode:
Bullish FVG: When low > high
Bearish FVG: When high < low
Optionally, the strict mode ensures wicks do not touch.
The gap’s significance is filtered using the ATR multiplier input to exclude minor noise.
Once detected, FVGs are stored as pending zones until inverted by opposite movement (price crossing through).
bool bull_cond = strict_mode ? (low > high ) : (close > high )
bool bear_cond = strict_mode ? (high < low ) : (close < low )
float gap_size = 0.0
if bull_cond and close > open
gap_size := low - high
if bear_cond and close < open
gap_size := low - high
2. Creating IFVGs (Inversions)
When price later moves through a previous FVG in the opposite direction, an Inverse FVG (IFVG) is created.
For example:
A previous bearish FVG becomes bullish IFVG if price moves upward through it.
A previous bullish FVG becomes bearish IFVG if price moves downward through it.
The IFVG is initialized with structural boundaries (top, bottom) and timestamp metadata to anchor visualization.
if not p.is_bull_gap and close > p.top
inverted := true
to_bull := true
if p.is_bull_gap and close < p.btm
inverted := true
to_bull := false
3. Volume Metrics (Bull, Bear, Strength)
Each IFVG calculates buy and sell volumes from the current bar’s price spread and total volume.
Bull % = proportion of upward (buy) volume
Bear % = proportion of downward (sell) volume
Strength % = normalized percentile rank of total volume
These are obtained through a custom function that estimates directional volume contribution:
calc_metrics(float o, float h, float l, float c, float v) =>
float rng = h - l
float buy_v = 0.0
if rng == 0
buy_v := v * 0.5
else
if c >= o
buy_v := v * ((math.abs(c - o) + (math.min(o, c) - l)) / rng)
else
buy_v := v * ((h - math.max(o, c)) / rng)
float sell_v = v - buy_v
float total = buy_v + sell_v
float p_bull = total > 0 ? buy_v / total : 0
float p_bear = total > 0 ? sell_v / total : 0
float p_str = ta.percentrank(v, 100) / 100.0

2. Comprehensive Price Targets
The indicator projects multiple levels of price targets (PTs) based on the size of the initial Opening Range, enabling you to set profit targets and manage risk. Targets are grouped for easy toggling:
Default Targets (50%): Visualize the immediate $50\%$ price extension above and below the ORB.
Extended Targets (75%, 100%): View the $75\%$ and full $100\%$ extension levels.
Further Targets (150%, 200%): Explore extended targets for volatile or trending days.
Mid Point: Optional line to display the $50\%$ retracement/midpoint of the ORB itself.
3. Fibonacci Extensions
Access highly relevant price projections using classic Fibonacci ratios:27.2% and 61.8% Extensions: These provide additional high-probability price targets for breakout scenarios.
4. Breakout & Retest Signaling
Entry Signals: Displays on-chart labels for potential ORB Breakouts and subsequent
Retests (BRB), helping you identify high-probability entry points.
Alert Options: Set alerts for simple ORB level crosses or restrict alerts only to confirmed breakout scenarios (Alert only on ORB breakouts).
🎨 Style Customization
All main ORB lines, target levels, and Fibonacci lines can be individually styled (color, thickness, line type) directly within the TradingView Style tab for a personalized chart experience. Dedicated inputs are available for setting colors for 50%, 75%, 100%, and Fibonacci 27.2% / 61.8% levels.
💡 How to Use
1. Set Your ORB Period: Choose the time frame that best suits your market (e.g., 15 minutes is common for US indices).
2. Monitor the Breakout: Once the ORB session ends, wait for the price to break above the ORB High or below the ORB Low.
3. Target and Risk: Use the projected Price Targets to define your potential profit zones, and place stop-losses just inside the ORB range.
