Multi-TF 👀### Multi-Timeframe Analysis (MTF-Analysis)
**Overview**
The Multi-Timeframe Analysis indicator is a powerful visualization tool designed for traders who incorporate multi-timeframe (MTF) strategies into their decision-making process. It overlays compact, customizable candle representations from up to four higher timeframes directly on your chart, positioned to the right of the last bar for quick reference. This allows you to monitor price action, momentum via EMAs, and key levels like Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) across multiple resolutions without switching charts. Built with efficiency in mind, it supports automatic timeframe detection, real-time updates, and a clean, non-intrusive design that enhances your trading workflow.
Ideal for day traders, swing traders, and scalpers, this indicator helps identify alignments between timeframes, spot potential reversals or continuations, and validate entries/exits based on higher-timeframe context. It leverages Pine Script v6 for smooth performance, with optimizations to handle up to 5000 bars back and extensive drawing limits.
**Key Features**
- **Multi-Timeframe Candle Display**: Renders recent candles (configurable from 5 to 100 per timeframe) from selected higher timeframes (e.g., 5m, 15m, 1H, 4H) as compact bars with customizable width, spacing, and padding. Bullish and bearish candles are color-coded for instant recognition.
- **Automatic Timeframe Adaptation**: When enabled, the indicator intelligently selects complementary timeframes based on your chart's resolution (e.g., on a 1m chart, it might show 5m, 15m, and 1H). Manual overrides are available for full control.
- **EMA Overlays**: Plots EMA9, EMA21, and EMA50 on each MTF section using a user-defined source (e.g., OHLC/4, close). EMAs can be dashed for clarity and enabled/disabled per timeframe, helping to gauge momentum and trend strength.
- **Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)**: Detects bullish (+FVG) and bearish (-FVG) gaps with a configurable lookback length (5-50 bars). Gaps are visualized as dotted boxes extending from the candle, highlighting potential support/resistance zones or imbalances.
- **Time Labels and Debugging**: Displays timestamp labels under every fourth candle for chronological context. A debug mode expands spacing and adds detailed labels (e.g., OHLC, volume, EMA values) for testing and verification.
- **Customization Options**: Extensive inputs for colors (bodies, wicks, EMAs, FVGs), label sizes/styles, and layout ensure seamless integration with your chart theme. Supports futures symbols with a time offset adjustment.
- **Performance Optimizations**: Uses arrays for efficient data management, clears drawings on realtime updates or timeframe changes, and limits buffer sizes to prevent overload.
**How to Use**
1. Add the indicator to your chart via TradingView's "Indicators" menu.
2. Configure timeframes: Enable/disable up to four TFs and set the number of candles to display. Use "Auto Timeframe" for smart defaults.
3. Adjust EMAs: Select the source type and toggle per TF to focus on relevant momentum signals (e.g., EMA9 crossovers for short-term trades).
4. Enable FVGs: Activate per TF and tweak the length to suit your market (shorter for volatile assets, longer for trends).
5. Fine-tune appearance: Modify padding, candle width, and colors to avoid clutter. Use debug mode during setup.
6. Interpret: Align your chart's price action with MTF candles—look for confluence in trends, FVGs filling as support/resistance, or EMA alignments for high-probability setups.
**Input Settings**
- **General**: Hour offset for time adjustments (useful for futures).
- **Timeframes**: Enable TFs 1-4, select resolutions (e.g., "5m"), and set candle counts. Auto mode simplifies this.
- **FVG/iFVG**: Toggle per TF, customize colors and detection length.
- **EMA**: Enable per TF, choose source, colors, and dashed style.
- **Candle Appearance**: Bull/bear colors for bodies/wicks, width/spacing/padding, label size/color.
- **Debug**: Expands view for detailed inspection.
**Notes**
- This indicator is non-repainting and updates in realtime, but performance may vary on lower timeframes with many candles—reduce counts if needed.
- FVGs are calculated locally on recent bars for efficiency; historical gaps beyond the buffer aren't shown.
- Compatible with all symbols, but best on volatile markets like forex, crypto, or indices.
- Feedback welcome—updates may include more MA types or advanced FVG filters.

FVG Breakout Lite by tradingbauhausExplanation of "FVG Breakout Lite by tradingbauhaus"
This script is a trading strategy built for TradingView that helps you spot and trade "Fair Value Gaps" (FVGs)—price areas where the market moved quickly, leaving a gap that might act as support or resistance later. It’s designed to catch breakout opportunities when the price moves strongly in one direction, with extra filters to make trades more reliable. Here’s how it works and how you can use it:
What It Does
1. Finds Fair Value Gaps (FVGs):
A "Bullish FVG" happens when the price jumps up quickly, leaving a gap below where it didn’t trade much (e.g., today’s low is higher than the high from two bars ago).
A "Bearish FVG" is the opposite: the price drops fast, leaving a gap above (e.g., today’s high is lower than the low from two bars ago).
The script draws colored boxes on your chart to show these gaps: green for bullish, red for bearish.
2. Spots Breakouts:
It looks for "strong" FVGs by comparing them to a trend (based on the highest highs and lowest lows over a set period).
If a bullish gap forms above the recent highs, or a bearish gap below the recent lows, it’s marked as a breakout opportunity.
3. Adds a Volume Check:
Trades only happen if the market’s volume is higher than usual (e.g., 1.2x the average volume over the last 20 bars). This helps ensure the breakout has real momentum behind it.
4. Trades Automatically:
Long Trades (Buy): If a bullish breakout FVG forms and volume is high, it buys at the current price.
Short Trades (Sell): If a bearish breakout FVG forms with high volume, it sells short.
Each trade comes with a stop loss (to limit losses) and a take profit (to lock in gains), both adjustable by you.
5. Shows Mitigation Lines (Optional):
If you turn on "Display Mitigation Zones," it draws lines at the edge of each breakout FVG. These lines show where the price might return to "fill" the gap later, helping you see key levels.
6. Includes Webull Costs:
The script factors in real trading fees from Webull, like tiny SEC and FINRA fees for selling, and a daily margin cost if you’re borrowing money to trade. These don’t show up on the chart but affect the strategy’s performance in backtesting.
How to Use It
1. Add to Your Chart:
Copy the script into TradingView’s Pine Editor, click "Add to Chart," and it’ll start drawing FVGs and running the strategy.
2. Customize Settings:
Trend Period (Default: 25): How many bars it looks back to define the trend. Longer periods mean fewer but stronger signals.
Volume Lookback (Default: 20) & Volume Threshold (Default: 1.2): Adjust how it measures "high volume." Increase the threshold for stricter trades.
Stop Loss % (Default: 1.5%) & Take Profit % (Default: 3%): Set how much you’re willing to lose or aim to gain per trade.
Margin Rate % (Default: 8.74%): Webull’s rate for borrowing money—lower it if your account qualifies for a better rate.
Display Mitigation Zones (Default: On): Toggle this to see or hide the gap lines.
Colors: Change the green (bullish) and red (bearish) shades to suit your chart.
3. Backtest It:
Go to the "Strategy Tester" tab in TradingView to see how it performs on past data. It’ll show trades, profits, losses, and Webull fees included.
4. Watch It Work:
Green boxes mean bullish FVGs; red boxes mean bearish FVGs. If volume spikes and the price breaks out, you’ll see trades happen automatically.
What to Expect
Visuals: You’ll see colored boxes for FVGs and optional lines showing where they start. These help you spot key price zones even if you’re not trading.
Trades: It’s selective—only trades when FVGs align with a breakout and volume confirms it. Expect fewer trades but with higher potential.
Risk: The stop loss keeps losses in check, while the take profit aims for a 2:1 reward-to-risk ratio by default (3% gain vs. 1.5% loss).
Costs: Webull’s fees are small but baked into the results, so you’re seeing a realistic picture of profits.
Tips for Users
Test it on a small timeframe (like 5-minute charts) for day trading or a larger one (like daily) for swing trading.
Play with the volume threshold—if you get too few trades, lower it (e.g., 1.1); if too many, raise it (e.g., 1.5).
Watch how price reacts to the mitigation lines—they’re often support or resistance zones traders target.
This strategy is lightweight, focused, and built for traders who like breakouts with a bit of confirmation. It’s not foolproof (no strategy is!), but it gives you a clear way to trade FVGs with some smart filters.
Multi-Timeframe Trading SystemIntegrating Multi-Timeframe Trading Analysis: A Comprehensive Approach to Market Structure and Trend Identification
In the dynamic landscape of financial markets, traders continually seek robust analytical frameworks that can synthesize diverse market signals into a coherent decision-support system. This script represents a deliberate integration of several established technical analysis concepts, designed to provide a multi-perspective view of market conditions. The rationale for this integration stems from the recognition that no single indicator provides a complete picture; rather, a confluence of signals from different analytical dimensions can enhance the probability of identifying high-quality trading opportunities.
The core design principle of this script is the synthesis of trend analysis, momentum assessment, and market structure identification across multiple timeframes. This multi-layered approach is grounded in the widely accepted market axiom that higher timeframes exert gravitational pull on lower timeframes, and that the alignment of signals across temporal scales often precedes significant price movements.
Functional Components and Their Synergistic Operation
The script operates through several interconnected modules that work in concert:
Multi-Timeframe Trend Analysis Dashboard: At the heart of the system is a comparative trend analysis across six distinct timeframes (3-minute to daily). This is achieved using Exponential Moving Average (EMA) crossovers—a proven trend-following mechanism. The dashboard provides instantaneous visual feedback about trend alignment or divergence across timeframes, allowing traders to gauge the strength and consistency of prevailing market trends. When multiple timeframes exhibit congruent trend directions, it suggests a higher-conviction trading environment.
EMA-Based Trend Filtering: The script employs dual EMA periods (55 and 200) as its primary trend filter. The relationship between these moving averages serves as the foundation for all subsequent analysis, coloring price bars according to the dominant trend direction. This visual cue helps traders maintain perspective on the broader market context, preventing counter-trend entries during strong trending phases.
Momentum Assessment via RSI: The Relative Strength Index (RSI) operates as a complementary momentum oscillator. While the EMA system identifies trend direction, the RSI helps assess whether price movement within that trend is approaching overextended conditions. The script monitors RSI levels for traditional overbought and oversold thresholds, providing alerts when these conditions emerge.
Market Structure Analysis through Swing Points and Fractals: The automated detection of swing highs and lows forms the basis for understanding market structure. These pivot points are essential for identifying potential support/resistance zones and charting the sequence of higher highs/lows or lower highs/lows that characterize trending versus ranging markets. The fractal detection system further refines this structural analysis by identifying minor reversal points within the broader swing structure.
Fair Value Gap (FVG) Identification: The script automatically detects price voids or "gaps" that often act as magnetic attractors for future price action. These FVGs represent areas of inefficient price discovery where liquidity tends to cluster, making them significant for both trade entry and risk management decisions.
Automated Trendline Construction: By connecting successive swing points, the script dynamically draws trendlines that visualize the prevailing market trajectory. These trendlines serve as dynamic support/resistance levels that adapt to changing market conditions.
Practical Application and Usage Guidelines
Traders can utilize this integrated system in several practical ways:
Trend Confirmation: Before entering any position, check the multi-timeframe dashboard for trend alignment. Convergent trends across multiple timeframes generally offer higher-probability trading environments.
Entry Timing: Use RSI extremes in conjunction with trend direction. For instance, in an established uptrend (confirmed by EMA alignment), an RSI reading dipping into oversold territory may present a favorable long entry opportunity.
Structural Analysis: Monitor the sequence of swing points to identify potential breakouts or breakdowns in market structure. A break of a significant swing point often signals acceleration in the prevailing trend.
Fair Value Gap Trading: Watch for price returns to previously identified FVGs, as these zones frequently provide favorable risk-reward entry points with logical stop-loss placement beyond the gap boundaries.
Dynamic Support/Resistance: Utilize the automatically drawn trendlines as dynamic levels for trade management, including entry, stop-loss placement, and profit-taking.
Originality and Distinctive Features
While individual components of this system are derived from established technical analysis principles, the original contribution lies in their specific integration and visualization methodology. The script provides:
A unified visual framework that reduces analytical clutter while maintaining comprehensive market assessment
Real-time multi-timeframe analysis without requiring constant chart switching
Automated structural analysis that eliminates subjective trendline drawing
A balanced approach that respects both trend-following and mean-reversion principles
Customizable parameters that allow adaptation to different trading instruments and timeframes
Important Considerations
Users should understand that this tool is designed as a decision-support system, not an automated trading solution. All trading decisions should incorporate additional factors including fundamental analysis, market context, and appropriate risk management. The color-coded bar system and dashboard indicators are intended to streamline analysis, but they cannot guarantee specific market outcomes. Traders are encouraged to test this system in simulated environments before applying it to live markets and to adapt its parameters to align with their individual trading styles and risk tolerances.
The script's value proposition lies in its ability to synthesize multiple analytical perspectives into a cohesive visual interface, potentially reducing cognitive load while maintaining analytical rigor—a balance that many traders find challenging to achieve manually across multiple charts and timeframes.
SMC + Dual UT Bot buy and sell AlertsMise a jour avec un EMA 20/50 et vwap
his script is a composite indicator for TradingView (Pine Script v5) that merges Smart Money Concepts (SMC) with a Dual-instance UT Bot. It has been styled with a high-contrast "Neon Cyberpunk" theme (Cyan/Pink) and is fully compliant with the CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 license.
Here is a breakdown of its two main components:
1. Smart Money Concepts (SMC)
This portion, originally by LuxAlgo, is designed to identify institutional price levels and structural market shifts. It provides a detailed map of market structure rather than simple entry/exit signals.
Market Structure (BOS & CHoCH):
BOS (Break of Structure): Marks trend continuation (e.g., breaking a higher high in an uptrend).
CHoCH (Change of Character): Marks potential trend reversals (e.g., the first time a higher low is broken in an uptrend).
Order Blocks (OB):
Highlights specific candles where institutional buying or selling likely occurred. These act as high-probability support/resistance zones.
Neon Blue/Cyan for Bullish OBs.
Neon Pink for Bearish OBs.
Fair Value Gaps (FVG):
Identifies imbalances (gaps) in price action where the market often returns to "fill" orders.
Neon Mint for Bullish FVGs.
Neon Red for Bearish FVGs.
Premium/Discount Zones: Automatically plots the range equilibrium (50% level) to help you buy in "Discount" (low) and sell in "Premium" (high) areas.
Liquidity (EQH/EQL): Automatically detects "Equal Highs" and "Equal Lows," which are magnets for price as they represent liquidity pools (stop losses).
2. Dual UT Bot Alerts
This portion provides the actual Entry Signals. It runs two separate instances of the "UT Bot" strategy simultaneously with different sensitivity settings to filter noise.
Instance 1 (Buy Only):
Settings: Key Value = 4, ATR Period = 10 (Faster, more sensitive).
Visual: Plots a Neon Cyan "Buy" label.
Function: Looks for bullish reversals earlier to catch the start of a move.
Instance 2 (Sell Only):
Settings: Key Value = 7, ATR Period = 20 (Slower, smoother).
Visual: Plots a Neon Pink "Sell" label.
Function: Uses a wider ATR band to avoid getting shaken out of shorts too early, focusing on major downtrends.
How to Use It
The strength of this script is confluence.
Wait for a Signal: Look for a UT Bot "Buy" or "Sell" tag.
Confirm with SMC: Check if the signal aligns with SMC concepts.
Example Buy: Did the UT Bot give a "Buy" signal while price was bouncing off a Bullish Order Block?
Example Buy: Did price just sweep Liquidity (EQL) before the Buy signal?
Example Sell: Is the "Sell" signal happening inside a Premium Zone or a Bearish Fair Value Gap?

Notes de version
1. "Pro" Badge Buy/Sell Labels
The standard text signals have been replaced with modern, professional Badge Labels that provide more information at a glance.
Visuals: Instead of simple text, the script now uses label.new to create high-visibility badges.
BUY: A Neon Cyan badge with a Rocket icon (🚀).
SELL: A Neon Pink badge with a Chart icon (📉).
Price Details: Each badge displays the exact Entry Price directly on the label.
Tooltips: If you hover your mouse over a Buy or Sell badge, a tooltip will appear showing the exact Take Profit (TP) and Stop Loss (SL) prices calculated for that trade.
2. Dynamic Take Profit (TP)
The script now automatically calculates a profit target for every trade the moment a signal is generated.
Calculation: It measures the distance between your Entry Price and the initial Stop Loss (the ATR Trailing Stop).
Risk:Reward: It multiplies that distance by your chosen Risk:Reward Ratio (default is 1.5) to project a TP target.
Visual Line: A Green Line is drawn on the chart at the TP level. It remains active until price hits it or the stop loss.
3. Active Trailing Stop Loss (SL)
The Stop Loss is no longer static; it is now "alive" and manages the trade for you.
Trailing Logic: If Use Trailing SL? is enabled (default), the SL line will automatically move up (for longs) or move down (for shorts) as the trend continues in your favor. It locks in profit by following the UT Bot's ATR trailing band.
Visual Line: A Red Line is drawn at the SL level. You can see it physically step up or down on the chart as the trend progresses.
4. Real-Time Trade Simulation
The script now simulates the lifecycle of a trade directly on the chart:
Active State: When a trade is live, the TP and SL lines extend to the right of the current candle (bar_index + 1), showing you exactly where your exit points are in real-time.
Closed State: Once the price hits either the Green TP line or the Red SL line, the script detects the "Exit." The lines stop extending and turn dotted, indicating that the trade is closed and waiting for the next signal.
Summary of New Settings
You will find a new group in the settings panel called "UT Bot: Trade Management":
TP Risk:Reward Ratio: Adjust this to change how far the Green TP line is placed (e.g., set to 2.0 for 2x return).
Use Trailing SL?: Uncheck this if you want the Red SL line to stay fixed at the initial entry risk level.

1. Live Strategy Performance Dashboard (Backtester)
Since this is an indicator, TradingView does not automatically calculate PnL (Profit and Loss). I have built a custom Simulation Engine inside the script that tracks every UT Bot signal as if you had taken the trade.
Location: Bottom Right of your chart.
Win Rate: Displays the percentage of trades that hit the Take Profit target versus the Stop Loss.
Trades (W/L): Shows the total number of signals generated, broken down by Wins and Losses.
Net Profit (R): Calculates your theoretical profit in "R-Multiples" (Risk Units).
Example: If you set your Risk:Reward to 2.0, every win adds +2R, and every loss subtracts -1R.
Dynamic Colors: The Win Rate and Profit cells turn Neon Cyan if positive (>50% or >0R) and Neon Pink if negative.
2. Multi-Timeframe Trend Dashboard
A new panel at the Top Right gives you an instant "Market Bias" reading so you don't have to scan the whole chart.
SMC Trend: Reads the Smart Money structure (Break of Structure/Change of Character) to determine if the high-level timeframe is BULLISH or BEARISH.
UT Bot Status: Displays the current active signal state:
BUY (Active): You are currently in a Long trade.
SELL (Active): You are currently in a Short trade.
NEUTRAL: No active signal or the last trade hit TP/SL.
3. Integrated Alert System
I have connected the visual lines to the alert system. You can now set a single alert on this indicator, and it will trigger for:
Entry Signals: "UT Long Entry" / "UT Short Entry"
Exits: "Take Profit Hit" / "Stop Loss Hit"
4. Consolidated Settings
To make the script easier to manage, I organized the settings into clear groups:
Dashboards: Toggle the visibility of the new panels or move the Performance Panel to a different corner.
UT Bot: Trade Management: Quickly adjust your Risk:Reward Ratio (e.g., change from 1.5 to 2.0) to see how it affects your Win Rate in real-time on the dashboard.

Notes de version
1. Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Trend Scanner
I have replaced the basic "Market Bias" panel with a comprehensive MTF Trend Dashboard located at the Top Right of your chart.
What it tracks: It simultaneously monitors the trend direction on 5 distinct timeframes:
15 Minute
1 Hour
4 Hour
Daily
Weekly
How it works: It runs a background calculation (using UT Bot settings Key=5, ATR=15) on these higher timeframes without you needing to switch charts.
Visuals:
BULLISH: Highlighted in Neon Cyan.
BEARISH: Highlighted in Neon Pink.
2. Strategic Confluence (How to use it)
This new dashboard transforms the script from a simple "signal generator" into a complete trading system by allowing you to filter trades based on the bigger picture.
The "All-Green" Rule: If you are scalping on a 5-minute chart and you get a BUY signal, check the dashboard. If the 1H, 4H, and Daily are all Neon Cyan (Bullish), that trade has a significantly higher probability of success.
Avoid Counter-Trend Trades: If your main chart says BUY, but the dashboard shows the 4H and Daily are Neon Pink (Bearish), you are trading against the major trend. You might want to skip that trade or reduce your risk size.
3. Summary of Dashboards
You now have two professional-grade panels on your screen:
Bottom Right (Performance): Shows the past results of the strategy on your current timeframe (Win Rate, Profit Factor).
Top Right (Trend): Shows the current state of the market across all timeframes.
FVG Clean MTF + IFVG (Deep Memory)FVG Deep Memory
This is a highly optimized, Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Fair Value Gap indicator designed to solve the common "data limit" issues found in standard FVG scripts.
Most MTF indicators share a single "memory limit" for all zones. This causes a problem: specific high-frequency zones (like 1-minute gaps) flood the memory and accidentally delete your important Higher Timeframe levels (like Daily or 4H gaps).
FVG Deep Memory solves this by assigning Independent Memory Buckets to each timeframe. Your 1-minute noise will never delete your Daily structure again.
🚀 Key Features
1. "Deep Memory" Architecture
5 Independent Timeframes: Monitor the Chart, 15m, 1h, 4h, and Daily intervals simultaneously.
No Cannibalization: Each timeframe has its own dedicated allocation (e.g., 100 zones each). A flood of new zones on the 15m chart will not erase an old Daily zone. They coexist perfectly.
2. Dynamic "Gray Zone" State
SR Channel Logic: When price enters an active FVG, the zone dynamically changes color to Gray (customizable).
Why it helps: This provides an instant visual cue that price is "in traffic" or a decision point, separating it from untouched "fresh" zones.
3. Advanced Logic
Inversion Gaps (IFVG): When a Fair Value Gap is broken, it can automatically flip into an Inversion Gap (Support becomes Resistance) with a dashed style.
Mitigation Handling: Choose between extending zones until broken, or hiding them immediately upon mitigation to keep the chart clean.
Midlines: Optional median lines for precision entries.
4. Soft UI & Customization
Designed with "Soft" transparency to keep your chart readable.
Fully customizable colors for Bullish, Bearish, and "In-Zone" states.
Toggle any timeframe on/off individually without affecting the logic of others.
🛠 Settings Guide
Lookback Limit: How far back (in days) to scan for gaps.
Max Boxes PER Timeframe: The distinct memory limit for each timeframe bucket.
Show Inversion Gaps: Enables the "Support to Resistance" flip logic.
Hide Nested Gaps: Prevents clutter by merging overlapping zones.
Price In Zone Color: The color the zone turns when price is currently trading inside it.

UK100 London Judas & IFVG SetupUK100 London Judas & IFVG Setup
Overview This indicator is a specialized trading tool designed to automate the ICT Judas Swing strategy specifically for the UK100 (FTSE 100) index during the London Market Open. It combines institutional time-based logic with price action confirmation using Inversion Fair Value Gaps (IFVG) to identify high-probability reversal setups.
How It Works The strategy is based on the concept that the initial move after the London Open is often a "fake-out" (manipulation) designed to trap retail traders and engineer liquidity before the true trend of the day begins.
Session & Opening Price:
The script marks the London Open price (default 09:00 Warsaw / 08:00 London time) with a dashed line.
This serves as the "line in the sand." Prices moving away from this line initially are monitored for manipulation.
Judas Swing (Liquidity Sweep):
If price moves BELOW the open, it is hunting Sell-Side Liquidity (trapping sellers).
If price moves ABOVE the open, it is hunting Buy-Side Liquidity (trapping buyers).
The Entry Trigger: Inversion FVG (IFVG):
The indicator scans for Fair Value Gaps (FVG) created during the manipulation phase.
BUY Signal: The price manipulates lower, creates a Bearish FVG (Red Box), but then aggressively reverses and closes ABOVE that gap. The gap is now "Inverted" (turns Green), acting as support.
SELL Signal: The price manipulates higher, creates a Bullish FVG (Green Box), but then aggressively reverses and closes BELOW that gap. The gap is now "Inverted" (turns Orange), acting as resistance.
Key Features
Automated Pattern Recognition: No need to manually draw gaps. The script detects valid FVG inversions that align with the Judas Swing logic.
Built-in Risk Calculator: The signal labels display the exact Lot Size you should use based on your account balance and risk percentage (default 0.5%). It calculates this dynamically based on the Stop Loss distance.
Institutional Targets: The indicator fetches H1 Fractals (Liquidity) from the 1-hour timeframe and plots them on your 1-minute chart as blue lines. These are your primary Take Profit (TP) levels.
Stop Loss Visualization: Automatically suggests a Stop Loss placement behind the swing high/low of the reversal structure.
How to Use
Timeframe: Set your chart to 1 Minute (1m).
Asset: UK100 (FTSE 100).
Wait: Allow the London session to open. Watch for price to move away from the opening line.
Execute: When a BUY or SELL label appears:
Enter the trade using the Lot Size shown on the label.
Set your Stop Loss at the price shown on the label.
Target the blue H1 Liquidity lines for profit taking.
Settings
Timezone: Set this to your chart/exchange timezone (Default: Europe/Warsaw).
Account Balance: Input your current trading capital (e.g., 100,000) for accurate risk calculations.
Risk Per Trade %: The percentage of your account you are willing to lose if the Stop Loss is hit (Standard: 0.5% - 1.0%).
Contract Size: The value of 1 point movement (Check your broker's specifications. Usually 1 for CFDs).
Alerts You can set a single alert in TradingView to capture all signals. Select the indicator and choose "Any alert() function call". You will receive a notification with the direction (Buy/Sell), Entry Price, and Lot Size.
🟡 GOLD 4H HUD v8.9 — Loose ICT OB + Strong/Weak + FVG/HVN/LVNGOLD 4H HUD v8.9 is a clean, structured Smart Money Concepts (SMC)–based analysis tool designed exclusively for XAUUSD on the 4-hour timeframe.
It focuses on the three most important elements for institutional orderflow analysis:
✔ Loose ICT Order Blocks (Demand/Supply)
✔ Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
✔ Volume Profile Zones (HVN/LVN/POC)
The script builds a professional-style HUD that displays the key institutional regions and structural levels that matter most for gold traders.
📌 Key Features
1 — Market Structure Engine (HH/HL & BOS)
The indicator detects:
Minor swing Highs and Lows
Last confirmed HH / HL levels
Break of Structure (BOS) for directional bias
EMA-200 trend filter (UP / DOWN / NEUTRAL)
This gives traders a clean structural read without clutter or noise.
2 — Loose FVG Engine (Tolerance-Based ICT Gaps)
A soft-threshold FVG engine detects “loose” Fair Value Gaps using a 0.1% price tolerance.
This method ensures:
Fewer missed imbalances
Cleaner OB/FVG alignment
Higher accuracy on 4H gold displacement legs
FVGs automatically shift to the right side of the chart for clean visualization.
3 — Order Block Engine (Demand/Supply + Strong/Weak Classification)
A simplified ICT-style OB engine scans the past few candles whenever BOS is detected.
It identifies:
Demand OB during bullish BOS
Supply OB during bearish BOS
Strong OB if fully nested inside an active FVG
Weak OB otherwise
OB boxes include:
Clear color coding (strong vs. weak)
Price range labels inside each box
Automatic right-shift for visual clarity
4 — Volume Profile Engine (POC / HVN / LVN / VAH / VAL)
Based on a rolling window (default 120 bars), the script builds a lightweight volume distribution.
It displays:
POC (Point of Control)
HVN (High Volume Node)
LVN (Low Volume Node)
Value Area High / Low
HVN/LVN zones are shown as right-shifted colored boxes with price labels.
These zones help identify:
Institutional accumulation
Low-liquidity rejection points
Areas where price tends to react strongly
5 — Support / Resistance Mapping
The script automatically generates:
OB-based support/resistance
Swing-high/swing-low levels
HVN/LVN structural levels
These are displayed in the HUD for fast reference.
6 — Professional HUD Panel
A compact, easy-to-read HUD summarizes:
Trend direction
Latest HH/HL
OB ranges (Strong/Weak)
HVN/LVN price zones
POC
Multi-layer support & resistance
This turns the script into a fully functional analysis dashboard.
📌 What This Indicator Is NOT
To avoid misunderstanding:

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.

Chop + MSS/FVG Retest (Ace v1.6) – IndicatorWhat this indicator does
Name: Chop + MSS/FVG Retest (Ace v1.6) – Indicator
This is an entry model helper, not just a BOS/MSS marker.
It looks for clean trend-side setups by combining:
MSS (Market Structure Shift) using swing highs/lows
3-bar ICT Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
First retest back into the FVG
A built-in chop / trend filter based on ATR and a moving average
When everything lines up, it plots:
L below the candle = Long candidate
S above the candle = Short candidate
You pair this with a higher-timeframe filter (like the Chop Meter 1H/30M/15M) to avoid pressing the button in garbage environments.
How it works (simple explanation)
Chop / Trend filter
Computes ATR and compares each bar’s range to ATR.
If the bar is small vs ATR → more likely CHOP.
If the bar is big vs ATR → more likely TREND.
Uses a moving average:
Above MA + TREND → trendLong zone
Below MA + TREND → trendShort zone
MSS (Market Structure Shift)
Uses swing highs/lows (left/right bars) to track the last significant high/low.
Bullish MSS: close breaks above last swing high with displacement.
Bearish MSS: close breaks below last swing low with displacement.
Those events are marked as tiny triangles (MSS up/down).
A MSS only stays “valid” for a certain number of bars (Bars after MSS allowed).
3-bar ICT FVG
Bullish FVG: low > high
→ gap between bar 3 high and bar 2 low.
Bearish FVG: high < low
→ gap between bar 3 low and bar 2 high.
The indicator stores the FVG boundaries (top/bottom).
Retest of FVG
Watches for price to trade back into that gap (first touch).
That retest is the “entry zone” after the MSS.
Final Long / Short condition
Long (L) prints when:
Recent bullish MSS
Bullish FVG has formed
Price retests the bullish FVG
Environment = trendLong (ATR + above MA)
Not CHOP
Short (S) prints when:
Recent bearish MSS
Bearish FVG has formed
Price retests the bearish FVG
Environment = trendShort (ATR + below MA)
Not CHOP
So the L/S markers are “model-approved entry candles”, not just any random BOS.
Inputs / Settings
Key inputs you’ll see:
ATR length (chop filter)
How many bars to use for ATR in the chop / trend filter.
Lower = more sensitive, twitchy
Higher = smoother, slower to change
Max chop ratio
If barRange / ATR is below this → treat as CHOP.
Min trend ratio
If barRange / ATR is above this → treat as TREND.
Hide MSS/BOS marks in CHOP?
ON = MSS triangles disappear when the bar is classified as CHOP
Keeps your chart cleaner in consolidation
Swing left / right bars
Controls how tight or wide the swing highs/lows are for MSS:
Smaller = more sensitive, more MSS points
Larger = fewer, more significant swings
Bars after MSS allowed
How many bars after a MSS the indicator will still allow FVG entries.
Small value (e.g. 10) = MSS must deliver quickly or it’s ignored.
Larger (e.g. 20) = MSS idea stays “in play” longer.
Visual RR (for info only)
Just for plotting relative risk-reward in your head.
This is not a strategy tester; it doesn’t manage positions.
What you see on the chart
Small green triangle up = Bullish MSS
Small red triangle down = Bearish MSS
“L” triangle below a bar = Long idea (MSS + FVG retest + trendLong + not chop)
“S” triangle above a bar = Short idea (MSS + FVG retest + trendShort + not chop)
Faint circle plots on price:
When the filter sees CHOP
When it sees Trend Long zone
When it sees Trend Short zone
You do not have to trade every L or S.
They’re there to show “this is where the model would have considered an entry.”
How to use it in your trading
1. Use it with a higher-timeframe filter
Best practice:
Use this with the Chop Meter 1H/30M/15M or some other HTF filter.
Only consider L/S when:
Chop Meter = TRADE / NORMAL, and
This indicator prints L or S in the right location (premium/discount, near OB/FVG, etc.)
If higher-timeframe says NO TRADE, you ignore all L/S.
2. Location > Signal
Treat L/S as confirmation, not the whole story.
For shorts (S):
Look for premium zones (previous highs, OBs, fair value ranges above mid).
Want purge / raid of liquidity + MSS down + bearish FVG retest → then S.
For longs (L):
Look for discount zones (previous lows, OBs/FVGs below mid).
Want stop raid / purge low + MSS up + bullish FVG retest → then L.
If you see L/S firing in the middle of a bigger range, that’s where you skip and let it go.
3. Instrument presets (example)
You can tune the ATR/chop settings per instrument:
MNQ (noisy, 1m chart):
ATR length: 21
Max chop ratio: 0.90
Min trend ratio: 1.40
Bars after MSS allowed: 10
GOLD (cleaner, 3m chart):
ATR length: 14
Max chop ratio: 0.80
Min trend ratio: 1.30
Bars after MSS allowed: 20
You can save those as presets in the TV settings for quick switching.
4. How to practice with it
Open replay on a couple of days.
Check Chop Meter → if NO TRADE, just observe.
When Chop Meter says TRADE:
Mark where L/S printed.
Ask:
Was this in premium/discount?
Was there SMT / purge on HTF?
Did the move actually deliver, or did it die?
Screenshot the A+ L/S and the ugly ones; refine:
ATR length
Chop / trend thresholds
MSS lookback
Your goal is to get it to where:
The L/S marks show up mostly in the same places your eye already likes,
and you ignore the rest.
FVG HTF# FVG HTF — Higher‑Timeframe Fair Value Gaps
## Summary
- Plots higher‑timeframe Fair Value Gap (FVG) zones directly on your current chart.
- Tracks fill progress using four methods: Any Touch, Midpoint Reached, Wick Sweep, Body Beyond.
- Shows optional labels with timeframe source and live fill percentage; label text color is configurable.
- Designed for clean overlays and efficient rendering with limits on graphics and bars processed.
## What It Does
- Detects bullish and bearish FVGs from a chosen timeframe (or the chart timeframe) and renders:
- Zone Top/Bottom lines and a dotted midpoint line
- Semi‑transparent area fill between the edges
- Optional label at the midpoint with a tooltip showing zone prices
- Continuously updates zones forward and removes them when the selected fill condition is met.
## Inputs
- `Enable FVG` (`fvgSH2`): Toggle detection/plotting on/off.
- `Timeframe` (`fvgTF2`): Choose `Chart` or HTFs (`5 Minutes`, `15 Minutes`, `1 Hour`, `4 Hours`, `1 Day`, `1 Week`, `1 Month`).
- `Fill Method` (`fvgFill2`):
- Any Touch — wick or body touches any part of the zone
- Midpoint Reached — price reaches at least the 50% of the zone
- Wick Sweep — wick fully travels past the far edge and back inside (conceptually stricter than touch)
- Body Beyond — candle body closes beyond the opposite edge (strong confirmation)
- `Zones` colors (`fvgCb2`, `fvgCs2`): Bullish/Bearish zone colors.
- `Labels` (`fvgLB2`): Show/Hide on‑chart labels.
- `Label Color` (`fvgLBc2`): Color picker for label text (default: white).
- `Max Bars Back` (`maxBars2`): Limits processing to recent bars for performance.
## Timeframe Rules
- The helper `htfTF` prevents selecting a timeframe lower than the chart. If an invalid lower TF is chosen, it falls back to `timeframe.period`.
- Supports minute, daily, weekly, and monthly aggregations that are safe for intraday/daily/weekly charts.
## Detection Logic
- Uses rolling higher‑timeframe bars constructed on the fly and checks 3‑bar displacement patterns:
- Bullish FVG: current HTF low above the high two bars ago AND previous HTF close above that high, with no direct gap condition.
- Bearish FVG: current HTF high below the low two bars ago AND previous HTF close below that low, with no direct gap condition.
- On detection, the script creates an FVG object with:
- Top/Bottom lines (`lnTop`, `lnBtm`) and midpoint line (`lnAvg`)
- Midpoint label (`lbTxt`) showing source timeframe and updating fill percentage
- Semi‑transparent fill (`linefill`) for visual clarity
## Fill Tracking
- Fill threshold depends on selected method:
- Any Touch: opposite edge
- Midpoint Reached: zone’s midpoint
- Wick Sweep: stricter condition conceptually (implemented as an opposite‑edge threshold)
- Body Beyond: requires close beyond the opposite edge
- Each bar updates label x‑position and line endpoints forward; the label text shows the best fill ratio achieved.
- When the threshold is reached, the FVG (label, lines, fill) is removed from the chart.
## Best Practices
- Start with `Any Touch` to visualize broad repairs; switch to `Body Beyond` for conservative confirmations.
- Use `1 Hour` or `4 Hours` overlays on 5m–15m charts for context; `1 Day` on 1H charts; `1 Week` on daily charts.
- Keep labels on when monitoring fills intraday; hide labels for clean higher‑level context.
- Adjust `Max Bars Back` if performance is impacted by many zones.
## Repainting Notes
- HTF zones are computed on `timeframe.change(tf)` and therefore confirm on HTF bar closes.
- Label endpoints extend each bar; detection itself avoids lookahead bias. For strict confirmation, align entries with HTF closes.
## Limitations
- “Wick Sweep” is treated as a stricter touch to the far edge; it does not enforce a separate “return inside” bar state.
- Label text color applies uniformly to bull/bear labels. If you need separate colors per side, contact the author.

## Quick Start
1. Enable FVG and choose your HTF (e.g., `1 Hour`).
2. Pick a Fill Method (start with `Any Touch`).
3. Select zone colors and label text color.
4. Set `Max Bars Back` as needed for performance.
5. Use labels/tooltip values (Top/Mid/Bottom) to plan entries and manage risk.
The Barking Rat LiteMomentum & FVG Reversion Strategy
The Barking Rat Lite is a disciplined, short-term mean-reversion strategy that combines RSI momentum filtering, EMA bands, and Fair Value Gap (FVG) detection to identify short-term reversal points. Designed for practical use on volatile markets, it focuses on precise entries and ATR-based take profit management to balance opportunity and risk.
Core Concept
This strategy seeks potential reversals when short-term price action shows exhaustion outside an EMA band, confirmed by momentum and FVG signals:
EMA Bands:
Parameters used: A 20-period EMA (fast) and 100-period EMA (slow).
Why chosen:
- The 20 EMA is sensitive to short-term moves and reflects immediate momentum.
- The 100 EMA provides a slower, structural anchor.
When price trades outside both bands, it often signals overextension relative to both short-term and medium-term trends.
Application in strategy:
- Long entries are only considered when price dips below both EMAs, identifying potential undervaluation.
- Short entries are only considered when price rises above both EMAs, identifying potential overvaluation.
This dual-band filter avoids counter-trend signals that would occur if only a single EMA was used, making entries more selective..
Fair Value Gap Detection (FVG):
Parameters used: The script checks for dislocations using a 12-bar lookback (i.e. comparing current highs/lows with values 12 candles back).
Why chosen:
- A 12-bar displacement highlights significant inefficiencies in price structure while filtering out micro-gaps that appear every few bars in high-volatility markets.
- By aligning FVG signals with candle direction (bullish = close > open, bearish = close < open), the strategy avoids random gaps and instead targets ones that suggest exhaustion.
Application in strategy:
- Bullish FVGs form when earlier lows sit above current highs, hinting at downward over-extension.
- Bearish FVGs form when earlier highs sit below current lows, hinting at upward over-extension.
This gives the strategy a structural filter beyond simple oscillators, ensuring signals have price-dislocation context.
RSI Momentum Filter:
Parameters used: 14-period RSI with thresholds of 80 (overbought) and 20 (oversold).
Why chosen:
- RSI(14) is a widely recognized momentum measure that balances responsiveness with stability.
- The thresholds are intentionally extreme (80/20 vs. the more common 70/30), so the strategy only engages at genuine exhaustion points rather than frequent minor corrections.
Application in strategy:
- Longs trigger when RSI < 20, suggesting oversold exhaustion.
- Shorts trigger when RSI > 80, suggesting overbought exhaustion.
This ensures entries are not just technically valid but also backed by momentum extremes, raising conviction.
ATR-Based Take Profit:
Parameters used: 14-period ATR, with a default multiplier of 4.
Why chosen:
- ATR(14) reflects the prevailing volatility environment without reacting too much to outliers.
- A multiplier of 4 is a pragmatic compromise: wide enough to let trades breathe in volatile conditions, but tight enough to enforce disciplined exits before mean reversion fades.
Application in strategy:
- At entry, a fixed target is set = Entry Price ± (ATR × 4).
- This target scales automatically with volatility: narrower in calm periods, wider in explosive markets.
By avoiding discretionary exits, the system maintains rule-based discipline.

Note on Sample Size:
You’ll notice the report displays fewer than the ideal 100 trades in the strategy report above. This is intentional. The goal of the script is to isolate high-quality, short-term reversal opportunities while filtering out low-conviction setups. This means that the Barking Rat Lite strategy is very selective, filtering out over 90% of market noise. The brief timeframe shown in the strategy report here illustrates its filtering logic over a short window — not its full capabilities. As a result, even on lower timeframes like the 1-minute chart, signals are deliberately sparse — each one must pass all criteria before triggering.
For a larger dataset:
Once the strategy is applied to your chart, users are encouraged to expand the lookback range or apply the strategy to other volatile pairs to view a full sample.
💡Why 25% Equity Per Trade?
While it's always best to size positions based on personal risk tolerance, we defaulted to 25% equity per trade in the backtesting data — and here’s why:
Backtests using this sizing show manageable drawdowns even under volatile periods.
The strategy generates a sizeable number of trades, reducing reliance on a single outcome.
Combined with conservative filters, the 25% setting offers a balance between aggression and control.
Users are strongly encouraged to customize this to suit their risk profile.
What makes Barking Rat Lite valuable
Combines multiple layers of confirmation: EMA bands + FVG + RSI
Adaptive to volatility: ATR-based exits scale with market conditions

Effective FVG Indicator - ImranDescription:
The Effective FVG Indicator is a technical analysis tool designed to identify Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) in financial markets. FVGs occur when there is a significant gap between the closing price of one session and the opening price of the next session, often indicating a potential reversal point. This indicator uses volume and price movement criteria to confirm and mark these gaps effectively.
Key Features:
Fair Value Gap Detection : Identifies both bullish and bearish FVGs based on significant gaps in price.
Volume Confirmation : Confirms FVGs with high volume, ensuring that the gap is not due to a lack of liquidity.
Price Imbalance : Ensures that the gap is accompanied by a large price movement within the session, indicating strong market sentiment.
Buy/Sell Signals : Marks bullish FVGs with a green "BUY" label below the bar and bearish FVGs with a red "SELL" label above the bar.
Background Highlighting : Highlights the background with a semi-transparent green or red color when a valid FVG is detected, making it easy to spot significant gaps.
FVG Breakout/BreakdownThe FVG Breakout/Breakdown indicator is designed to identify potential breakout and breakdown opportunities in the market, based on the concept of Fair Value Gaps (FVGs). FVGs are areas where price moves too quickly, leaving behind gaps between candlesticks, often seen as areas of inefficiency or imbalance that the market tends to revisit.
Key Concepts:
Fair Value Gaps (FVG):
FVG occurs when a price gap is created between candlesticks, typically when the high of one candle is lower than the low of the previous candle (for a bearish FVG) or the low of one candle is higher than the high of the previous candle (for a bullish FVG).
These gaps represent an imbalance between buying and selling pressure, and the market often revisits them, making them valuable for identifying potential entry points.
Bullish FVG: This occurs when the low of the current candle is higher than the high of the previous candle.
Condition: low > high
Bearish FVG: This occurs when the high of the current candle is lower than the low of the previous candle.
Condition: high < low
Breakout/Breakdown Signals:
Breakout: A bullish breakout signal occurs when the price breaks above a defined resistance level after an FVG gap. This suggests that the market may continue moving higher.
Breakdown: A bearish breakdown signal occurs when the price breaks below a defined support level after an FVG gap. This suggests that the market may continue moving lower.
NWOG (New Week Opening Gap):
The NWOG can be used as an additional factor to confirm the FVG signal. The gap between Friday's close and Monday's open is a crucial level for identifying the start of a new move for the week.
NWOG helps to further refine the timing of breakout or breakdown signals, only triggering them when price moves relative to the Monday Open and shows a new direction.
ICT HTF FVGs v2 (fadi)NOTICE: Instead of updating the existing ICT HTF FVGs indicator, this indicator is being published separately due to the requests to keep the original by some traders and because of the drastic change in behavior/configurations. If the original v1 version is more appropriate for your style of trading, feel free to continue to use it.
ICT HTF FVGs v2
In trading, Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) refer to market inefficiencies or imbalances that occur when buying and selling activities are not equal. These gaps can be identified on various timeframes and are used in different trading strategies.
FVGs are crucial in price action trading as they highlight the difference between the current market price of an asset and its fair value. Traders use these gaps to identify potential trading opportunities, as they often indicate areas where the market may correct itself
This indicator will overlap the higher timeframe (HTF) FVGS over the current timeframe to help traders anticipate and plan their trades.
Features
Up to 6 higher timeframes (HTF) can be overlayed on a chart
Traders can limit the number of HTF FVGs to preset number of HTFs
Lower and current timeframes can be included
Configurable spacing of HTF FVGs to prevent overlapping
Configurable Smart Expansion of FVGs based on proximity to current price
Traders can decide what constitutes a Mitigated FVG
Show or hide mitigated FVGs to declutter the chart
Flexible display settings that controls how the FVGs are displayed
Flexible labeling of the FVG levels and content
Higher Timeframes Display Settings
This indicator provides the ability to select up to 6 HTF intervals. These intervals are based on the trader's timeframes including any custom timeframes.
Timeframe Configurations
Enable or Disable a Timeframe
The Timeframe to Display
Bullish / BISI FVG Color
Bearish / SIBI FVG Color
The number of FVGs For The Selected Timeframe
Limit to the next HTFs only can be used to display the selected number of HTF FVGs. For example, if the trader selects 3 then only 3 HTF FVGs will be displayed.
Note: If either of the next two options is selected, they will take up spots from this count.
Hide lower Timeframes restricts the FVGs to higher timeframes only. If this option is disabled, it will show lower timeframes FVGs as well.
Hide Current Timeframe removes current timeframe from the selected list of HTF FVGs. If this option is disabled, it will show current timeframe FVGs as well.
Background Transparency Enable or disable the background color (shaded area) of the FVG. If it is enabled, it will set the transparency amount. The higher the value, the more transparent the background.
Extend lines controls when and how to extend the FVG levels. There are three options:
Extension Only extends the FVGs by the specified number provided below only.
Current Candle Plus Extension extends all the FVGs beyond the current candle by the number provided below.
When in Range will only extend the FVGs near current price based on the advanced settings below. This setting will use Average True Range multiplier to calculate the range (shows FVGs that are higher or lower by the average candle size multiplied by the number in Advanced section).
Mitigated shows or hides the mitigated HTF FVGs. A FVG is considered mitigated based on one of the following options:
None will ignore mitigation and show all FVGs.
Touched when a HTF FVG is touched regardless of how deep the price get inside the FVG.
Wick filled the FVG is closed by a wick or body of a candle.
Body filled the FVG is closed by the body of a candle
Wick filled half a candle's wick or body has reached the C.E. of the FVG
Body filled half a candle body has reached the C.E. of the FVG
Extend mitigated lines sets the number of candles to extend the mitigated FVG levels by for better visibility.
Important Note: Mitigation is calculated based on the timeframe of the FVG, not current timeframe.
Display
Display settings focus on how the FVGs will be displayed. The trader is in total control and there are multiple ways to overlay FVGs on the chart.
Open / Close / C.E. / Link controls the borders. Traders can enable or disable any of them as well as set the thickness and style. Link is the right border.
C.E. also offers the option of setting the bullish (BISI) and bearish (SIBI) colors of the C.E. level
Labeling controls if the labels should be displayed next to the FVG, their color, background, and font size.
Label levels to display controls which levels to show. Open, High. or the C.E.
Label display content controls what to show in the labels, the timeframe of the label, is it a BISI or a SIBI, and a label to indicate if it is the Open or the Close.
Note: if the distance between the open and close has the potential of overlapping the labels, then the indicator will only show the C.E. label for visual clarity.
Advanced Settings
Advanced settings controls some internal calculations:
Proximity factor based on daily range used to calculate possible range of FVGs within a day's range to keep the chart clean. The higher the value, the more FVGs will be shown.
Combine labels factor for visibility used to calculate the distance between the open and close and if all the labels or only the C.E. should be displayed. The higher the value, the bigger the distance for combination (smaller numbers will show more labels).
Range should be within X candles used when "When in Range" option is selected. This is the ATR multiplier used to extend the FVGs. The higher the number, the more FVGs will be extended.
Once desired settings have been achieved, the settings can be saved as default from the bottom left of the indicator settings page for future use.
Pattern Multi-TF Dashboardesigned to identify the three primary phases of price action: Contraction, Expansion, and Trend. By combining technical momentum (ADX) with price range volatility, this script provides a "top-down" view of the market, allowing traders to see how lower-timeframe price action fits into the broader market cycle.
Core Logic & Market Phases
The indicator classifies market conditions based on a proprietary blend of ADX (Average Directional Index) and price deviation from the Fair Market Value (FMV).
🟦 Contraction (Blue): Identified when ADX is low and price is consolidating within a narrow range relative to the FMV. This represents "market value" where orders are being accumulated.
🟧 Expansion (Orange): Triggered when ADX begins to rise and price pushes away from the FMV. This represents the initial breakout phase where the market is seeking a new value area.
🟩 Trend (Green): Confirmed when ADX remains high and price maintains direction. This is the "momentum" phase of the cycle.
⬜ Neutral (Gray): Default state when neither contraction nor strong momentum is detected.
Key Features
Multi-TF Dashboard: A dynamic, real-time table displaying the Phase, Bias (Bullish/Bearish), and FMV price for eight different timeframes (1m through Monthly).
Visual Bias Tracking: The "Bias" column is color-coded (Green for Bullish, Red for Bearish) based on whether price is trading above or below the Fair Market Value (Mid-point of the range).
On-Chart Inefficiencies (FVG): Automatically plots Green/Red triangles to highlight Fair Value Gaps, identifying areas of price imbalance where liquidity may be resting.
HTF FMV Overlay: Plots the Fair Market Value (Mid-line) of a user-defined Higher Timeframe (e.g., 4H) directly onto your current chart for easy trend reference.
Optimized Performance: Built specifically for Pine Script® v6, the dashboard is designed to update only on the most recent bar to ensure zero chart lag during manual scrolling.
How to Use
Identify the HTF Phase: Look at the background color of your chart to see the 4H or Daily phase.
Check for Alignment: Use the Dashboard to see if the 1m and 5m biases match the HTF bias.
Find Entry: Look for Inefficiencies (FVGs) that align with the Expansion or Trend phases for high-probability entry points.

Star SMC and Price action [ARule]This script is a Smart Money Concepts (SMC) + Price Action + VWAP + Swing Zones indicator.
It detects and draws:
✅ Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
✅ Imbalances (HTF FVG)
✅ BOS / CHoCH (Market Structure)
✅ Internal & Swing Structure
✅ Order Blocks (Internal + Swing)
✅ Equal High / Equal Low (EQH / EQL)
✅ Premium / Discount Zones
✅ Multi-Timeframe High & Low levels
✅ VWAP trend filter
✅ Swing High / Low zones with volume/count filter
✅ Alerts for all major SMC events
👉 Basically:
💎 “All-in-one institutional trading indicator”
✅ 1) HTF FVG / Imbalance System (First Part)
This part:
Uses multiple higher timeframes:
5m, 15m, 1H, 4H, 1D, 1W
Detects imbalance (FVG-like gaps)
Draws boxes on chart
Marks mitigated zones
Adds labels like: 5m, 15m, 1H etc.
Logic:
An imbalance forms when:
current high < previous low (gap down)
or
current low > previous high (gap up)
Then it draws a box 📦
✅ 2) Mitigation Logic (Very Important)
Your script checks when FVG is filled:
Options:
Wick filled
Body filled
Half filled
None
Example:
"Wick filled" => low <= imb.open
Meaning:
👉 Price touched the FVG → mark as mitigated.
✅ 3) Smart Money Concepts (SMC Core)
This huge section detects:
🔹 BOS (Break of Structure)
When price breaks previous swing high/low.
🔹 CHoCH (Change of Character)
Trend reversal signal.
Example:
Uptrend → break low → CHoCH bearish
Downtrend → break high → CHoCH bullish
✅ 4) Internal vs Swing Structure
Internal Structure:
Small moves (lower timeframe)
Fast signals ⚡
Swing Structure:
Major trend structure
Strong signals 💪
You can enable/disable both in settings.
✅ 5) Order Blocks (OB)
Detected when structure breaks.
Two types:
🟢 Bullish OB
🔴 Bearish OB
Logic:
Script finds last opposite candle before BOS/CHoCH.
Then draws OB box 📦
Also checks mitigation:
close > OB high → bearish OB broken
close < OB low → bullish OB broken
✅ 6) Equal High / Equal Low (Liquidity)
Detects liquidity zones:
EQH = Equal High
EQL = Equal Low
Logic:
If two highs/lows are close within ATR threshold.
Used for:
👉 Liquidity grab / stop hunt zones.
✅ 7) Fair Value Gaps (FVG) – Another System
This is separate from HTF imbalance.
Condition:
currentLow > high → bullish FVG
currentHigh < low → bearish FVG
Draws 2 boxes per FVG.
✅ 8) Premium / Discount Zones
Based on latest swing high & low:
Premium zone = top 50%
Discount zone = bottom 50%
Equilibrium = middle
Used in SMC for entries.
✅ 9) Multi-Timeframe High/Low Levels
Draws:
Previous Day High/Low
Previous Week High/Low
Previous Month High/Low
✅ 10) VWAP Filter (Your Added Block)
You added:
VWAP Line
vwapValue = ta.vwap(close)
Trend Filter
Bullish → price above VWAP
Bearish → price below VWAP
ATM / ITM / OTM logic
atm_condition = abs(close - vwap) <= 25
Meaning:
ATM = price near VWAP
ITM / OTM = based on VWAP direction
💡 This is NOT real option ATM — it's a conceptual filter.
✅ 11) Swing High / Low Zones (Last Part)
This part:
Detects swing highs & lows using pivot logic
Creates zones (boxes)
Counts touches or volume inside zone
Filters strong zones
Example:
More touches = stronger support/resistance
More volume = institutional interest
✅ What makes this script powerful 💎
It combines:
Concept Purpose
FVG / Imbalance Institutional gaps
BOS / CHoCH Trend change
Order Blocks Smart money zones
EQH/EQL Liquidity
Premium/Discount Entry zones
VWAP Trend filter
Swing Zones Support/Resistance
👉 This is almost like ICT + SMC + Volume + VWAP hybrid.
✅ If you want, I can help you:
I can:
✅ Simplify this script (remove heavy parts)
✅ Add NIFTY / BANKNIFTY option logic
✅ Add Buy/Sell signals
✅ Add scanner (BOS + VWAP + FVG)
✅ Add dashboard table
✅ Optimize performance (reduce lag)
✅ Convert VWAP → real ATM strike logic
✅ Explain any part line-by-line
FVG + Swings + ConfigurableOverview
This Pine Script v5 indicator highlights Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), plots swing‑high and swing‑low pivots, and marks single breakouts above the last swing‑high or below the last swing‑low by recoloring the breakout candle. Every aspect—gap size, count limits, colors, and feature toggles—is exposed as an input so you can tailor it to your own workflow.
Key Features
Fair Value Gaps
Detects bullish gaps when the high of bar i-2 is below the low of the current bar.
Detects bearish gaps when the low of bar i-2 is above the high of the current bar.
Draws a semi‑transparent rectangle spanning from bar i-2 to bar i + extension.
Automatically deletes oldest boxes when exceeding the user’s “Max FVG Boxes” limit.
Swing‑High / Swing‑Low Pivots
Identifies a swing‑high when the middle candle of a three‑bar sequence has the highest high.
Identifies a swing‑low when the middle candle has the lowest low.
Marks each pivot with a tiny dot above (high) or below (low) the bar.
Single Breakouts
Tracks the most recent swing‑high and swing‑low levels.
On the first close above the last swing‑high (or below the last swing‑low), recolors that single candle.
Prevents repeated coloring until a new swing pivot forms.
Full Customization
Show/Hide toggles for FVGs, swing pivots, breakouts.
Numeric inputs for FVG extension length and maximum retained boxes.
Color pickers for bullish/bearish gaps, swing pivots, and breakout candles.
ICT Immediate Rebalance Toolkit [LuxAlgo]The ICT Immediate Rebalance Toolkit is a comprehensive suite of tools crafted to aid traders in pinpointing crucial trading zones and patterns within the market.
The ICT Immediate Rebalance, although frequently overlooked, emerges as one of ICT's most influential concepts, particularly when considered within a specific context. The toolkit integrates commonly used price action tools to be utilized in conjunction with the Immediate Rebalance patterns, enriching the capacity to discern context for improved trading decisions.
The ICT Immediate Rebalance Toolkit encompasses the following Price Action components:
ICT Immediate Rebalance
Buyside/Sellside Liquidity
Order Blocks & Breaker Blocks
Liquidity Voids
ICT Macros
🔶 USAGE
🔹 ICT Immediate Rebalance
What is an Immediate Rebalance?
Immediate rebalances, a concept taught by ICT, hold significant importance in decision-making. To comprehend the concept of immediate rebalance, it's essential to grasp the notion of the fair value gap. A fair value gap arises from market inefficiencies or imbalances, whereas an immediate rebalance leaves no gap, no inefficiencies, or no imbalances that the price would need to return to.
Rule of Thumb
After an immediate rebalance, the expectation is for two extension candles to follow; otherwise, the immediate rebalance is considered failed. It's important to highlight that both failed and successful immediate rebalances, when considered within a context, are significant signatures in trading.
Immediate rebalances can occur anywhere and in any timeframe.
🔹 Buyside/Sellside Liquidity
In the context of Inner Circle Trader's teachings, liquidity primarily refers to the presence of stop losses or pending orders, that indicate concentrations of buy or sell orders at specific price levels. Institutional traders, like banks and large financial entities, frequently aim for these liquidity levels or pools to accumulate or distribute their positions.
Buyside liquidity denotes a chart level where short sellers typically position their stops, while Sellside liquidity indicates a level where long-biased traders usually place their stops. These zones often serve as support or resistance levels, presenting potential trading opportunities.
The presentation applied here is the multi-timeframe version of our previously published Buyside-Sellside-Liquidity script.
🔹 Order Blocks & Breaker Blocks
Order Blocks and Breaker Blocks hold significant importance in technical analysis and play a crucial role in shaping market behavior.
Order blocks are fundamental elements of price action analysis used by traders to identify key levels in the market where significant buying or selling activity has occurred. These blocks represent areas on a price chart where institutional traders, banks, or large market participants have placed substantial buy or sell orders, leading to a temporary imbalance in supply and demand.
Breaker blocks, also known as liquidity clusters or pools, complement order blocks by identifying zones where liquidity is concentrated on the price chart. These areas, formed from mitigated order blocks, often act as significant barriers to price movement, potentially leading to price stalls or reversals in the future.
🔹 Liquidity Voids
Liquidity voids are sudden price changes when the price jumps from one level to another. Liquidity voids will appear as a single or a group of candles that are all positioned in the same direction. These candles typically have large real bodies and very short wicks, suggesting very little disagreement between buyers and sellers.
Here is our previously released Liquidity-Voids script.
🔹 ICT Macros
In the context of ICT's teachings, a macro is a small program or set of instructions that unfolds within an algorithm, which influences price movements in the market. These macros operate at specific times and can be related to price runs from one level to another or certain market behaviors during specific time intervals. They help traders anticipate market movements and potential setups during specific time intervals.
Here is our previously released ICT-Macros script.
