Market Structure ICT Screener [TradingFinder] BoS ChoCh🔵 Introduction
Market Structure is the foundation of every Smart Money and ICT based trading model. It describes how price moves through a sequence of highs and lows, forming clear phases of expansion, retracement and reversal. Understanding this structure allows traders to read institutional order flow and align their positions with the true direction of liquidity.
Two of the most critical components in Market Structure are the Break of Structure (BOS) and Change of Character (CHOCH). A BOS represents trend continuation, confirming strength within the current direction. In contrast, CHOCH also known as a Market Structure Shift (MSS) signals the first sign of a trend reversal or liquidity shift where order flow begins to change from bullish to bearish or vice versa.
Because the market is fractal, structure can exist at multiple levels known as Major (External) and Minor (Internal). Major structure defines the overall trend on higher timeframes while minor or internal structure reveals short term swings and early reversals within that larger move.
🔵 How to Use
Understanding Market Structure starts with identifying how price interacts with previous swing highs and swing lows. Every trend in the market, whether bullish or bearish, is built from a sequence of impulsive and corrective moves. Impulsive legs show strong displacement in the direction of liquidity flow, while corrective legs represent temporary pullbacks as the market rebalances before the next expansion. Recognizing these sequences is essential for reading the story of price and anticipating what may happen next.
A Break of Structure (BOS) occurs when price decisively moves beyond a previous structural point by breaking above the last high in an uptrend or falling below the last low in a downtrend. This event confirms that the current trend remains intact and that liquidity has been successfully taken from one side of the market. A BOS acts as confirmation of continuation and reflects strength within the existing directional bias.
A Change of Character (CHOCH) appears when price violates structure in the opposite direction of the prevailing trend. This is the first signal that market sentiment and order flow may be shifting. For example, during a downtrend if price breaks above a previous high, it indicates that sellers are losing control and a potential bullish reversal may be developing. In an uptrend, when price drops below a recent low, it suggests a possible bearish transition.
Because the market is fractal, structure exists across multiple layers. Major structure reflects the dominant movement visible on higher timeframes and defines the broader directional bias. Minor or internal structure represents smaller swings within that move and helps identify early transitions before they appear on the higher timeframe. When internal and external structures align, they offer a high probability signal for trend continuation or reversal.
By observing BOS and CHOCH across both internal and external structures, traders can clearly visualize when the market is expanding, contracting or preparing to shift direction. This structured understanding of price movement forms the foundation for precise trend analysis and high quality decision making in any Smart Money or ICT based trading approach.

🔵 Conclusion
Mastering Market Structure and understanding the relationship between BOS and CHOCH allows traders to see the market with greater clarity and confidence. These two elements reveal how liquidity moves through different phases of expansion and retracement and how institutional order flow shifts between accumulation and distribution.
By analyzing both internal and external structures, traders can align short term and long term perspectives and anticipate where price is most likely to react. The ability to read these structural shifts helps identify continuation points, reversals and areas where liquidity is engineered or collected.
Incorporating Market Structure into a consistent trading process transforms the way a trader views the chart. Instead of reacting to random movements, each swing, break and shift becomes part of a logical framework that reflects the true behavior of the market. Understanding BOS and CHOCH is not just a concept but a complete language of price that guides every professional decision in Smart Money and ICT based trading.
Wyszukaj w skryptach "liquidity"
Indre likviditetDescription:
The Indre Likviditet (Inner Liquidity) indicator automatically detects and visualizes liquidity gaps / imbalance zones (often referred to as Fair Value Gaps) on any timeframe. It highlights price inefficiencies where the market moved too quickly in one direction, leaving untested areas of liquidity.
Key Features:
• Gap detection: Identifies bullish and bearish liquidity gaps based on three-candle logic.
• Multi-timeframe (MTF) mode: Option to detect gaps on the current timeframe, higher timeframe, or both simultaneously.
• Custom visuals: Bullish and bearish gaps are displayed as colored boxes, with optional midpoint lines. Colors for HTF vs current TF can be customized separately.
• Dynamic updates: Gaps shrink automatically as price partially retraces into them, and can be fully deleted when filled.
• Flexible fill logic: Choose whether gaps are considered “filled” once the midpoint is touched, or only on a complete fill.
• Labeling: Optional labels show which timeframe the gap belongs to.
• Auto-clean: Option to delete old gaps once filled, or keep them as historical references.
Use Case:
This tool helps traders quickly spot where imbalances exist in the market and track when they are filled. Liquidity gaps often act as magnets for price, making them useful areas for targeting entries, exits, or managing risk.
Dual-Frame Momentum OscillatorDual-Frame Momentum Oscillator (DFMO)
This is not just another oscillator. This is a confluence engine, built for the discerning trader who reads the story of price action and needs an objective tool to confirm the climax.
The Dual-Frame Momentum Oscillator was designed to solve a specific problem: how to differentiate a genuine, sustainable breakout from an exhaustive liquidity grab. It provides a visual confirmation for high-probability reversal and scalp setups by measuring momentum across two distinct time frames simultaneously.
This tool is for the trader who understands that indicators should not dictate trades, but rather confirm a well-defined thesis based on market structure, volume, and liquidity.
The Core Concept: Context Meets Trigger
The DFMO fuses a slow, methodical Stochastic with a hyper-sensitive RSI to give you a complete picture of momentum.
The Context (Slow Stochastic %K - default 40,4,4): This acts as your long-term momentum gauge. It tells you if the underlying trend is healthy or nearing exhaustion. A high reading suggests the market is overextended and vulnerable, while a low reading suggests the opposite.
The Trigger (Fast RSI - default 3): This is your immediate impulse reader. It measures the velocity and intensity of the current price thrust, making it incredibly sensitive to exhaustive moves, spikes, and bounces.
By themselves, they are useful. Together, they are formidable.
The Confluence Engine: Your Visual Edge
The true power of the DFMO lies in its "Confluence Engine." The indicator's background highlights in real-time when both oscillators are in agreement, visually flagging moments of maximum opportunity.
Bearish Confluence Zone (Red): The background turns red only when the Stochastic is overbought AND the RSI is overbought. This is your signal that the broader trend is exhausted and the current buying impulse has reached a climax. It is the ideal confirmation for a short entry following a liquidity sweep above a key high.
Bullish Confluence Zone (Green): The background turns green only when the Stochastic is oversold AND the RSI is oversold. This signals that the downtrend is tired and the immediate selling pressure is exhaustive, providing high-probability confirmation for a long entry at a key support level.
When these zones appear, the indicator is telling you that both the context and the trigger are aligned. This removes ambiguity and allows for decisive, confident execution.
Practical Application: The Liquidity Sweep
Imagine you're stalking a short on a futures contract like MCL or MES. You've marked the high of the day (HOD) as a key resistance level where liquidity is resting. You see a sharp, vertical impulse move that breaks the HOD, clearing out the stops.
Is this a real breakout, or is it a manipulation move—a classic liquidity grab?
You glance down at the DFMO. The moment price swept the high, the background flashed red. That's your objective confirmation. The slow Stoch was already overbought, and the fast RSI spiking confirmed the exhaustive, terminal nature of that price thrust. You now have the confidence to enter your short scalp, knowing you are aligned with the probable direction of the market's next move.
This is how you move from "feeling" the market to systematically executing a high-probability edge. This is how you aspire for greatness.
Add the Dual-Frame Momentum Oscillator to your toolkit and transform your ability to time entries with surgical precision.

HyperFlowIntroduction
HyperFlow is a premium market structure and liquidity rotation model built around the principles of internal inefficiencies, tested imbalances, and delivery shifts. Drawing inspiration from ICT concepts, it provides a high-level framework for identifying smart money footprints and timing entries with precision.
Rather than forecasting direction, HyperFlow focuses on recognizing repeatable delivery behaviors — helping traders visually track liquidity shifts from internal ranges to external objectives with consistency.
Core Philosophy
Markets are governed by the logic of liquidity engineering — the search and destruction of internal inefficiencies (Fair Value Gaps), followed by continuations toward external liquidity.
Timeframes to use:
HTF -> LTF
5m -> 15s
15m -> 1m
1h -> 5m
4h -> 15m
Daily -> 1h
Weekly -> 4h
Monthly -> 1D
HyperFlow identifies these transitions by:
Detecting High Timeframe Fair Value Gaps (HTF FVGs) — structural imbalances created by displacement
Tracking Valid Tests of those FVGs — signaling willingness to respect internal structure
Filtering for Delivery Confirmations — only acting when price delivers with intent through reclaimed imbalances
Mapping Risk and Objective Zones — using recent swing structures to define stop and target logic rooted in market logic
All components are reactive, visual, and non-repainting — designed to highlight structure after it forms, not anticipate it prematurely.
Key Features
Internal Range Liquidity Zones: Cleanly marked HTF imbalances show where price may seek efficiency
Tested FVG Filtering: Signals only form on valid rebalances — we wait for proof, not potential
Shift in Delivery Conditions: Price must show intent to reclaim imbalance before any rotation is considered
Automatic Objective Mapping: Recent structural highs/lows are used to project stop and target zones automatically
Session Filters + Time Alignment: Restrict signals to high-probability hours or defined killzones
Minimal, High-Impact Visuals: Tested/untested FVGs are differentiated by transparency and tone, keeping your chart clean and focused
HyperFlow is built for:
Traders who understand price delivery theory
Analysts studying displacement → reversion → continuation
Those seeking higher timeframe bias alignment through tested structure
Users of ICT-based concepts who want a visual, rules-based companion
This is not a beginner's tool. It’s for those seeking repeatable execution through structure and refinement, not guesswork.

Candle Range DetectorCandle Range Detector
// Pine Script v6
// Detects candle-based ranges, mitigations, and sweeps with advanced logic
Overview
This indicator automatically detects price ranges based on candle containment, then tracks when those ranges are mitigated (broken) and when a sweep occurs. It is designed for traders who want to identify liquidity events and range breaks with precision.
How It Works
- Range Detection: A range is formed when a candle is fully contained within the previous candle (its high is lower and its low is higher). This marks a potential area of price balance or liquidity.
- Mitigation: A range is considered mitigated when price closes beyond its extension levels (configurable by normal or Fibonacci logic). This signals that the range has been invalidated or "taken out" by price action.
- Sweep Detection: After mitigation, the script watches for a sweep event: a candle that both trades through the range extreme and closes decisively beyond the log-mid of the candle itself. This is a strong sign of a liquidity grab or stop run.
- Alerts & Visuals: You can enable alerts and on-chart labels for sweeps. Only the most recent mitigated range can be swept, and each range can only be swept once.
- Timeframe Sensitivity: On weekly or monthly charts, a candle can both mitigate and sweep a range on the same bar. On lower timeframes, only one event can occur per bar.
Why It Works
- Candle containment is a robust way to identify natural price ranges and liquidity pools, as it reflects where price is consolidating or being absorbed.
- Mitigation marks the moment when a range is no longer defended, often leading to new directional moves.
- Sweeps are powerful signals of stop hunts or liquidity grabs, especially when confirmed by a close beyond the log-mid of the candle, indicating strong intent.
Visual Explanation
Tip: Use this tool to spot high-probability reversal or continuation zones, and to get alerted to key liquidity events in real time.
SiCInside Sweep Close (ISC):
This concept captures a specific price action behavior and can help refine trading strategies for better precision. Here's a detailed explanation:
Inside:
The closing price of the candle stays within the range of the previous candle.
This indicates a containment of price action, suggesting indecision or preparation for a significant move.
Sweep:
The wick of the candle takes out (or "sweeps") the low (or high) of the previous candle.
This sweep can trigger stop-losses of retail traders or activate pending orders, often used by smart money strategies.
Close:
The candle ultimately closes inside the range of the previous candle.
This close signifies that the sweep was a liquidity grab rather than a genuine breakout, providing an actionable trading signal.
How ISC Can Be Used in Trading:
Liquidity Grab Recognition:
ISC can indicate when liquidity is swept from the market, making it an ideal entry point for traders anticipating a reversal or continuation.
Smart Money Concept (SMC) Synergy:
If you follow SMC principles, ISC aligns with key concepts like liquidity sweeps, order blocks, and mitigation zones.
Risk Management:
By identifying the ISC setup, you can place tighter stop-loss levels just outside the sweep, optimizing risk-reward ratios.
Entry Signals:
When you spot an ISC, you can enter trades at the close of the candle, anticipating a move in the direction opposite to the sweep.
Example of ISC in Action:
Imagine a bearish candle:
The wick sweeps the low of the previous candle, possibly triggering stop-losses.
However, the close stays inside the previous candle’s range.
This setup might indicate a reversal, where price moves upward after grabbing liquidity.
Why This Name Works:
It’s concise, professional, and directly linked to the trading action you’re describing.
The short form, ISC, is easy to remember and discuss within trading circles or while teaching others.
It ties into widely known concepts like smart money, price action, and liquidity sweeps, making it relatable yet unique.

Currency Futures StatisticsThe "Currency Futures Statistics" indicator provides comprehensive insights into the performance and characteristics of various currency futures. This indicator is crucial for portfolio management as it combines multiple metrics that are instrumental in evaluating currency futures' risk and return profiles.
Metrics Included:
Historical Volatility:
Definition: Historical volatility measures the standard deviation of returns over a specified period, scaled to an annual basis.
Importance: High volatility indicates greater price fluctuations, which translates to higher risk. Investors and portfolio managers use volatility to gauge the stability of a currency future and to make informed decisions about risk management and position sizing (Hull, J. C. (2017). Options, Futures, and Other Derivatives).
Open Interest:
Definition: Open interest represents the total number of outstanding futures contracts that are held by market participants.
Importance: High open interest often signifies liquidity in the market, meaning that entering and exiting positions is less likely to impact the price significantly. It also reflects market sentiment and the degree of participation in the futures market (Black, F., & Scholes, M. (1973). The Pricing of Options and Corporate Liabilities).
Year-over-Year (YoY) Performance:
Definition: YoY performance calculates the percentage change in the futures contract's price compared to the same week from the previous year.
Importance: This metric provides insight into the long-term trend and relative performance of a currency future. Positive YoY performance suggests strengthening trends, while negative values indicate weakening trends (Fama, E. F. (1991). Efficient Capital Markets: II).
200-Day Simple Moving Average (SMA) Position:
Definition: This metric indicates whether the current price of the currency future is above or below its 200-day simple moving average.
Importance: The 200-day SMA is a widely used trend indicator. If the price is above the SMA, it suggests a bullish trend, while being below indicates a bearish trend. This information is vital for trend-following strategies and can help in making buy or sell decisions (Bollinger, J. (2001). Bollinger on Bollinger Bands).
Why These Metrics are Important for Portfolio Management:
Risk Assessment: Historical volatility and open interest provide essential information for assessing the risk associated with currency futures. Understanding the volatility helps in estimating potential price swings, which is crucial for managing risk and setting appropriate stop-loss levels.
Liquidity and Market Participation: Open interest is a critical indicator of market liquidity. Higher open interest usually means tighter bid-ask spreads and better liquidity, which facilitates smoother trading and better execution of trades.
Trend Analysis: YoY performance and the SMA position help in analyzing long-term trends. This analysis is crucial for making strategic investment decisions and adjusting the portfolio based on changing market conditions.
Informed Decision-Making: Combining these metrics allows for a holistic view of the currency futures market. This comprehensive view helps in making informed decisions, balancing risks and returns, and optimizing the portfolio to align with investment goals.
In summary, the "Currency Futures Statistics" indicator equips investors and portfolio managers with valuable data points that are essential for effective risk management, liquidity assessment, trend analysis, and overall portfolio optimization.
VAMSI ADVANCE Entry HelperThe "VAMSI Entry Helper" indicator is designed to assist traders in identifying potential entry points in the market by analyzing price equilibrium and liquidity equilibrium using a combination of Relative Strength Index (RSI) and moving averages. Here’s a detailed description of its components and functionality:
Components of the Indicator:
RSI (Relative Strength Index):
RSI Length: This parameter (rsiLengthInput) controls the period over which the RSI is calculated. It is set to 50 by default, but you can adjust it as needed.
RSI Source: The source of the price data for calculating the RSI, which is the closing price by default.
Moving Average (MA):
MA Type: You can choose between Simple Moving Average (SMA) and Exponential Moving Average (EMA) for smoothing the RSI values.
MA Length: This parameter (maLengthInput) controls the period over which the moving average of the RSI is calculated. It is set to 60 by default.
Functionality:
RSI Calculation:
The script calculates the RSI based on the selected source and length. RSI is a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements and oscillates between 0 and 100.
The RSI calculation involves computing the average gains and losses over the specified period (rsiLengthInput), and then applying the RSI formula.
Moving Average of RSI:
After calculating the RSI, the indicator computes a moving average of the RSI values using the specified type (SMA or EMA) and length (maLengthInput). This smoothed RSI helps in identifying the equilibrium of liquidity.
Plots:
RSI Plot: The RSI values are plotted on the chart with a purple line (#4B0082), providing a visual representation of price equilibrium.
MA Plot: The moving average of the RSI is plotted with a black line, showing the smoothed trend of the RSI.
Middle Band: A horizontal line at the 50 level is plotted as a reference point, indicating the midpoint of the RSI scale. This can help in identifying overbought and oversold conditions.
Use Case:
Price Equilibrium: The RSI plot helps traders identify when the price is relatively strong or weak. RSI values above 70 may indicate an overbought condition, while values below 30 may indicate an oversold condition.
Liquidity Equilibrium: The moving average of the RSI provides a smoothed view of the RSI, helping traders see the overall trend of liquidity equilibrium.
Example Usage:
Entry Points: Traders might look for entry points when the RSI crosses above or below its moving average, indicating potential changes in momentum.
Overbought/Oversold Conditions: Traders can use the RSI values along with the middle band (50) to identify overbought (RSI > 70) and oversold (RSI < 30) conditions.
Customization:
RSI Length: Adjustable to fit different trading strategies and timeframes.
Source: You can change the source data for the RSI calculation (e.g., close, open, high, low).
MA Type and Length: You can choose between SMA and EMA and adjust the period to better fit your trading style.
This indicator provides a comprehensive tool for traders to analyze price and liquidity equilibrium, helping them make informed decisions about entry points in the market.
Sessions Lite [TradingFinder] New York, London, Asia, NYSE Forex🔵 Introduction
A trading session is one of the basic concepts in the financial market that refers to specific time periods. In fact, a session means hours during the day and night, during which traders in a certain part of the world conduct their transactions.
Although the "Forex" and "CFDs" market is open 24 hours a day and it is possible to trade in it, but in some hours the activity in this market decreases so much that many traders prefer not to trade and only watch the market. On the other hand, there are specific times when the market is very busy and dynamic, and many traders tend to trade during these hours of the day and night.
Trading sessions are usually divided into three main categories, which are "Asian", "European" and "North American" sessions. These trading sessions are also called the "Tokyo", "London" and "New York" sessions, respectively. But they also categorized these sessions in more detailed ways such as "Sydney session", "Shanghai session" or "NYSE session".
🔵 Tokyo trading session (Asian session)
After the weekend that happens on Saturday and Sunday, the Forex market starts with the Asian session. In this continent, most of the transactions are done in the Tokyo session, and for this reason, it is usually called the Asian session or the Tokyo session. However, other countries such as Australia, China and Singapore also do a lot of trading in this session.
The Tokyo session has a lower volume of transactions compared to the London and New York sessions, and therefore the liquidity is lower. In this session, most of the Forex currency pairs move in a price range. For this reason, different people use the ups and downs with the trading strategy in the range and get profit.
The low liquidity of the Tokyo session means that trading spreads are also higher during these hours. Besides, most of the transactions of this session are done in the early hours and at the same time as the planned news release.
In the Tokyo or Asia session, the best currency pairs to trade are the "Japanese yen", the "Australian dollar", and the "New Zealand dollar".
"Nikkei" index is also a good option for trading. If you trade in the Tokyo session, you should also be aware of the release of economic news and data from Australian, New Zealand and Japanese financial institutions.
🔵 London trading session (European session)
After the Asian session, it is time for the European session. In this period of time, transactions are very large and many European markets are involved. However, the European session is usually known as the London session.
Because of its specific time zone, London is not only known as the Forex trading center in Europe, but it is also known as the Forex trading center in the world. The London session overlaps with two other major trading sessions in the world, Asia and America. This means that most of the Forex transactions are done in this session. According to the latest statistics, 32% of Forex transactions are related to the London session, which shows that about a third of the activity performed in Forex takes place during this period.
This will increase the volume of Forex transactions and increase liquidity. An event that causes the spread of transactions to decrease. Of course, high liquidity also leads to greater volatility, which is desirable for many traders.
In the European session, the pound and euro currencies and the "DAX", "FTSE100", and "CAC40" indices are known as the best tradable assets. Also, traders of this session should pay attention to the news and data published by the "European Central Bank" and the "Bank of England". The news of countries like Germany, France and Italy are also very important.
🔵 American trading session (New York session)
When the New York session begins, several hours have passed since the end of the Tokyo session, but the European session is in the middle. In this session, they usually affect the financial activities carried out in America, but they also affect other countries such as Canada, Mexico and several South American countries.
The "US dollar" and stock indices such as "S&P", "Dow Jones" and "Nasdaq" are the most important assets that are traded in this session.
The early hours of the American session have a lot of liquidity and volatility due to the overlap with the European session, but with the end of the European session, the activity in the American session also decreases.
You can trade all major Forex currency pairs in the New York trading session. In this session, the "Federal Reserve", as the most important central bank in the world, is the institution that you should pay attention to its news and data.
The trading session indicator is an analytical tool in the financial markets that is used to display and analyze specific trading periods during a day. These indicators are generally useful for determining support and resistance levels during any trading session and for detecting different trading patterns.
For example, usually these indicators display the open and close price levels, the highest and lowest prices during a trading session. Also, you may notice various price patterns such as price channels, price phase phases and market trend changes during different trading sessions using these indicators.
🔵 cause of construction
In particular, the session light indicator version is designed and built for those traders who use many different tools on their chart at the same time. These traders can include "Volume Traders", "ICT traders", "Day Traders" and... These individuals can use "Session Lite" without disturbing the display of their other trading tools such as "Order Blocks", "Liquidity", "Zigzag", "FVG" etc.
But in general, there are several reasons for making tools like trading session indicators in financial markets, some of which include the following :
1. Analysis of specific time frames : Some traders and investors like to consider specific time frames for price analysis and review. For example, analyzing price changes during each trading session can help analyze trading patterns and identify trading opportunities.
2. Recognize different price patterns : Different price patterns may be observed during trading sessions. Trading session indicators can help to make better trading decisions by analyzing these patterns and their strengths and weaknesses.
3. Identifying Support and Resistance Levels : These tools may help to identify support and resistance levels during any trading session which can be helpful in deciding whether to enter or exit the market.
🔵 How to use
The Session Lite indicator displays 8 sessions by default. Asia session, Sydney session, Tokyo session, Shanghai session, Europe session, London session, New York session and New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) session are the sessions that are displayed.
You can activate or deactivate the display of each session by using the tick button next to the name of each session.
Two gray vertical dashes are also displayed by default, which indicate the beginning of the European session and the New York session. This feature is available for all sessions, but it is enabled by default only for these two sessions, and you can activate it for the rest of the session. You can enable or disable the display of this line by using the Start Session tick key.
Likewise, the information table is displayed by default, which includes the open or closed information of each session and the start and end times of each session. These timings are based on the UTC time zone.
Accordingly, the schedule of trading sessions is as follows :
Asia session from 23:00 to 06:00
Sydney session from 23:00 to 05:00
Tokyo session from 00:00 to 00:06
Shanghai session from 01:30 to 06:57
European session from 07:00 to 16:30
London session from 08:00 to 16:30
New York session from 13:00 to 22:00
New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) session from 14:30 to T 22:00
Important note : the beginning of the European session coincides with the opening of the Frankfurt market.
🔵 Settings
• In the settings section, there are customization capabilities according to the type of use of each user. The settings related to showing or not showing the box of each session, the start indicator of each session, setting the start and end time of the session and choosing the desired color to display each session are among the things that can be set from this section.
• At the end of the settings, you will see the "Info Table" option; By disabling this option, the "sessions" clock table displayed on the upper right side will be disabled.
CRYPTO DIVERGENCE FINDERThis indicator allows you to easily compare any ticker you're looking at with the ones I've found to work best over many years of studying the crypto market. For these reasons, the code of the script is hidden because that is exactly what makes it unique.
You can choose any cryptocurrency, but I recommend using only perpetuals on 'BINANCE' exchange.
If the comparison mode is enabled, the current ticker you are viewing is divided by the ticker selected in the indicator.
For example, if you are watching "SOLUSDT.P" you should open the settings of the indicator and write "SOLUSDT.P" in the ticker field. Then you will get the SOLUSDT.P correlation index with other crypto and currency pairs that are correlated (like I already said this is something that is product of many years of studying this market and this is exactly what is unique about the code so the source of the script have to stay protected).
If you are a beginer, you can just apply simple trend-breakout strategy after you spot the divergence.
For advanced traders, you can use this together with ICT's and SMC concepts as a confirmation upon your entry.
Smart Money Essentials [TFO]This indicator utilizes “Smart Money Concepts” like liquidity, order blocks, premium & discount, and more to analyze price action.
What’s included in the initial release:
Market Structure
Liquidity
Displacement
Order Blocks
Premium / Discount
Confluence Table
Alerts
Market structure logic objectively identifies whether the current trend is bullish or bearish, based on swing highs and lows. Liquidity levels offer insight into major pivots where we can assume many traders may place their stop loss, which can also serve as areas where “Smart Money” may be accumulating or distributing positions.
Displacement adds to this by spotting rapid price movement, often accompanied by imbalances where price may come back to before continuing in the direction of the displacement. These can be filtered based on whether the imbalance is accompanied by a Break of Structure (BOS) or Market Structure Shift (MSS), which may give additional insight into the draw on liquidity.
Order blocks (OB’s) are detected and treated as areas that may offer support for price in an uptrend or resistance in a downtrend. Premium and discount zones are essentially fitted by an “auto-fib” retracement that looks at recent liquidity levels, and optionally offers areas to look for an Optimal Trade Entry (OTE) where price retraces between 62-79% of the preceding displacement leg.
The confluence table provides an organized place to visualize and identify where any of the above concepts may be present at or around the same time. We can implement a threshold where, if the number of selected factors meets or exceeds this threshold, we can potentially identify bullish and bearish opportunities where multiple layers of confluence are overlapping.
And of course, alerts are built in for all significant events related to the above concepts, for example: runs on liquidity, BOS and MSS, rejections from OB and OTE, etc.
Universal Global SessionUniversal Global Session
This Script combines the world sessions of: Stocks, Forex, Bitcoin Kill Zones, strategic points, all configurable, in a single Script, to capitalize the opening and closing times of global exchanges as investment assets, becoming an Universal Global Session .
It is based on the great work of @oscarvs ( BITCOIN KILL ZONES v2 ) and the scripts of @ChrisMoody. Thank you Oscar and Chris for your excellent judgment and great work.
At the end of this writing you can find all the internet references of the extensive documentation that I present here. To maximize your benefits in the use of this Script, I recommend that you read the entire document to create an objective and practical criterion.
All the hours of the different exchanges are presented at GMT -6. In Market24hClock you can adjust it to your preferences.
After a deep investigation I have been able to show that the different world sessions reveal underlying investment cycles, where it is possible to find sustained changes in the nominal behavior of the trend before the passage from one session to another and in the natural overlaps between the sessions. These underlying movements generally occur 15 minutes before the start, close or overlap of the session, when the session properly starts and also 15 minutes after respectively. Therefore, this script is designed to highlight these particular trending behaviors. Try it, discover your own conclusions and let me know in the notes, thank you.
Foreign Exchange Market Hours
It is the schedule by which currency market participants can buy, sell, trade and speculate on currencies all over the world. It is open 24 hours a day during working days and closes on weekends, thanks to the fact that operations are carried out through a network of information systems, instead of physical exchanges that close at a certain time. It opens Monday morning at 8 am local time in Sydney —Australia— (which is equivalent to Sunday night at 7 pm, in New York City —United States—, according to Eastern Standard Time), and It closes at 5pm local time in New York City (which is equivalent to 6am Saturday morning in Sydney).
The Forex market is decentralized and driven by local sessions, where the hours of Forex trading are based on the opening range of each active country, becoming an efficient transfer mechanism for all participants. Four territories in particular stand out: Sydney, Tokyo, London and New York, where the highest volume of operations occurs when the sessions in London and New York overlap. Furthermore, Europe is complemented by major financial centers such as Paris, Frankfurt and Zurich. Each day of forex trading begins with the opening of Australia, then Asia, followed by Europe, and finally North America. As markets in one region close, another opens - or has already opened - and continues to trade in the currency market. The seven most traded currencies in the world are: the US dollar, the euro, the Japanese yen, the British pound, the Australian dollar, the Canadian dollar, and the New Zealand dollar.
Currencies are needed around the world for international trade, this means that operations are not dominated by a single exchange market, but rather involve a global network of brokers from around the world, such as banks, commercial companies, central banks, companies investment management, hedge funds, as well as retail forex brokers and global investors. Because this market operates in multiple time zones, it can be accessed at any time except during the weekend, therefore, there is continuously at least one open market and there are some hours of overlap between the closing of the market of one region and the opening of another. The international scope of currency trading means that there are always traders around the world making and satisfying demands for a particular currency.
The market involves a global network of exchanges and brokers from around the world, although time zones overlap, the generally accepted time zone for each region is as follows:
Sydney 5pm to 2am EST (10pm to 7am UTC)
London 3am to 12 noon EST (8pm to 5pm UTC)
New York 8am to 5pm EST (1pm to 10pm UTC)
Tokyo 7pm to 4am EST (12am to 9am UTC)
Trading Session
A financial asset trading session refers to a period of time that coincides with the daytime trading hours for a given location, it is a business day in the local financial market. This may vary according to the asset class and the country, therefore operators must know the hours of trading sessions for the securities and derivatives in which they are interested in trading. If investors can understand market hours and set proper targets, they will have a much greater chance of making a profit within a workable schedule.
Kill Zones
Kill zones are highly liquid events. Many different market participants often come together and perform around these events. The activity itself can be event-driven (margin calls or option exercise-related activity), portfolio management-driven (asset allocation rebalancing orders and closing buy-in), or institutionally driven (larger players needing liquidity to complete the size) or a combination of any of the three. This intense cross-current of activity at a very specific point in time often occurs near significant technical levels and the established trends emerging from these events often persist until the next Death Zone approaches or enters.
Kill Zones are evolving with time and the course of world history. Since the end of World War II, New York has slowly invaded London's place as the world center for commercial banking. So much so that during the latter part of the 20th century, New York was considered the new center of the financial universe. With the end of the cold war, that leadership appears to have shifted towards Europe and away from the United States. Furthermore, Japan has slowly lost its former dominance in the global economic landscape, while Beijing's has increased dramatically. Only time will tell how these death zones will evolve given the ever-changing political, economic, and socioeconomic influences of each region.
Financial Markets
New York
New York (NYSE Chicago, NASDAQ)
7:30 am - 2:00 pm
It is the second largest currency platform in the world, followed largely by foreign investors as it participates in 90% of all operations, where movements on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) can have an immediate effect (powerful) on the dollar, for example, when companies merge and acquisitions are finalized, the dollar can instantly gain or lose value.
A. Complementary Stock Exchanges
Brazil (BOVESPA - Brazilian Stock Exchange)
07:00 am - 02:55 pm
Canada (TSX - Toronto Stock Exchange)

New York (NYSE - New York Stock Exchange)
08:30 am - 03:00 pm
B. North American Trading Session
07:00 am - 03:00 pm
(from the beginning of the business day on NYSE and NASDAQ, until the end of the New York session)
New York, Chicago and Toronto (Canada) open the North American session. Characterized by the most aggressive trading within the markets, currency pairs show high volatility. As the US markets open, trading is still active in Europe, however trading volume generally decreases with the end of the European session and the overlap between the US and Europe.
C. Strategic Points
US main session starts in 1 hour
07:30 am
The euro tends to drop before the US session. The NYSE, CHX and TSX (Canada) trading sessions begin 1 hour after this strategic point. The North American session begins trading Forex at 07:00 am.
This constitutes the beginning of the overlap of the United States and the European market that spans from 07:00 am to 10:35 am, often called the best time to trade EUR / USD, it is the period of greatest liquidity for the main European currencies since it is where they have their widest daily ranges.
When New York opens at 07:00 am the most intense trading begins in both the US and European markets. The overlap of European and American trading sessions has 80% of the total average trading range for all currency pairs during US business hours and 70% of the total average trading range for all currency pairs during European business hours. The intersection of the US and European sessions are the most volatile overlapping hours of all.
Influential news and data for the USD are released between 07:30 am and 09:00 am and play the biggest role in the North American Session. These are the strategically most important moments of this activity period: 07:00 am, 08:00 am and 08:30 am.
The main session of operations in the United States and Canada begins
08:30 am
Start of main trading sessions in New York, Chicago and Toronto. The European session still overlaps the North American session and this is the time for large-scale unpredictable trading. The United States leads the market. It is difficult to interpret the news due to speculation. Trends develop very quickly and it is difficult to identify them, however trends (especially for the euro), which have developed during the overlap, often turn the other way when Europe exits the market.
Second hour of the US session and last hour of the European session
09:30 am
End of the European session
10:35 am
The trend of the euro will change rapidly after the end of the European session.
Last hour of the United States session
02:00 pm
Institutional clients and very large funds are very active during the first and last working hours of almost all stock exchanges, knowing this allows to better predict price movements in the opening and closing of large markets. Within the last trading hours of the secondary market session, a pullback can often be seen in the EUR / USD that continues until the opening of the Tokyo session. Generally it happens if there was an upward price movement before 04:00 pm - 05:00 pm.
End of the trade session in the United States
03:00 pm
D. Kill Zones
11:30 am - 1:30 pm
New York Kill Zone. The United States is still the world's largest economy, so by default, the New York opening carries a lot of weight and often comes with a huge injection of liquidity. In fact, most of the world's marketable assets are priced in US dollars, making political and economic activity within this region even more important. Because it is relatively late in the world's trading day, this Death Zone often sees violent price swings within its first hour, leading to the proven adage "never trust the first hour of trading in America. North.

London
London (LSE - London Stock Exchange)
02:00 am - 10:35 am
Britain dominates the currency markets around the world, and London is its main component. London, a central trading capital of the world, accounts for about 43% of world trade, many Forex trends often originate from London.

It is a very liquid trading session, where trends are set that start during the first trading hours in Europe and generally continue until the beginning of the US session.
C. Middle East Trading Session
12:00 am - 06:00 am
(from the opening of the Dubai session to the end of the Riyadh session)

End of the Singapore and Asia sessions
03:00 am
The euro rises almost immediately or an hour after Singapore exits the market.
Middle East Oil Markets Completion Process
05:00 am
Operations are ending in the European-Asian market, at which time Dubai, Qatar and in another hour in Riyadh, which constitute the Middle East oil markets, are closing. Because oil trading is done in US dollars, and the region with the trading day coming to an end no longer needs the dollar, consequently, the euro tends to grow more frequently.
End of the Middle East trading session
06:00 am
E. Kill Zones
5:00 am - 7:00 am
London Kill Zone. Considered the center of the financial universe for more than 500 years, Europe still has a lot of influence in the banking world. Many older players use the European session to establish their positions. As such, the London Open often sees the most significant trend-setting activity on any trading day. In fact, it has been suggested that 80% of all weekly trends are set through the London Kill Zone on Tuesday.
F. Kill Zones (close)
2:00 pm - 4:00 pm

09:45 pm - 04:00 am
B. Asian Trading Session
06:00 pm - 03:00 am
From the opening of the Tokyo session to the end of the Singapore session
The first major Asian market to open is Tokyo which has the largest market share and is the third largest Forex trading center in the world. Singapore opens in an hour, and then the Chinese markets: Shanghai and Hong Kong open 30 minutes later. With them, the trading volume increases and begins a large-scale operation in the Asia-Pacific region, offering more liquidity for the Asian-Pacific currencies and their crosses. When European countries open their doors, more liquidity will be offered to Asian and European crossings.
C. Strategic Points
Second hour of the Tokyo session
07:00 pm
This session also opens the Singapore market. The commercial dynamics grows in anticipation of the opening of the two largest Chinese markets in 30 minutes: Shanghai and Hong Kong, within these 30 minutes or just before the China session begins, the euro usually falls until the same moment of the opening of Shanghai and Hong Kong.
Second hour of the China session
08:30 pm
Hong Kong and Shanghai start trading and the euro usually grows for more than an hour. The EUR / USD pair mixes up as Asian exporters convert part of their earnings into both US dollars and euros.
Last hour of the Tokyo session
11:00 pm
End of the Tokyo session
12:00 am
If the euro has been actively declining up to this time, China will raise the euro after the Tokyo shutdown. Hong Kong, Shanghai and Singapore remain open and take matters into their own hands causing the growth of the euro. Asia is a huge commercial and industrial region with a large number of high-quality economic products and gigantic financial turnover, making the number of transactions on the stock exchanges huge during the Asian session. That is why traders, who entered the trade at the opening of the London session, should pay attention to their terminals when Asia exits the market.
End of the Shanghai session
01:00 am
The trade ends in Shanghai. This is the last trading hour of the Hong Kong session, during which market activity peaks.
D. Kill Zones
10:00 pm - 2:00 am
Asian Kill Zone. Considered the "Institutional" Zone, this zone represents both the launch pad for new trends as well as a recharge area for the post-American session. It is the beginning of a new day (or week) for the world and as such it makes sense that this zone often sets the tone for the remainder of the global business day. It is ideal to pay attention to the opening of Tokyo, Beijing and Sydney.

Sidney
Sydney (ASX - Australia Stock Exchange)
06:00 pm - 12:00 am
A. Complementary Stock Exchange
New Zealand (NZX - New Zealand Stock Exchange)
04:00 pm - 10:45 pm
It's where the global trading day officially begins. While it is the smallest of the megamarkets, it sees a lot of initial action when markets reopen Sunday afternoon as individual traders and financial institutions are trying to regroup after the long hiatus since Friday afternoon. On weekdays it constitutes the end of the current trading day where the change in the settlement date occurs.
B. Pacific Trading Session
04:00 pm - 12:00 am
(from the opening of the Wellington session to the end of the Sydney session)
Forex begins its business hours when Wellington (New Zealand Exchange) opens local time on Monday. Sydney (Australian Stock Exchange) opens in 2 hours. It is a session with a fairly low volatility, configuring itself as the calmest session of all. Strong movements appear when influential news is published and when the Pacific session overlaps the Asian Session.
C. Strategic Points
End of the Sydney session
12:00 am

Conclusions
The best time to trade is during overlaps in trading times between open markets. Overlaps equate to higher price ranges, creating greater opportunities.
Regarding press releases (news), it should be noted that these in the currency markets have the power to improve a normally slow trading period. When a major announcement is made regarding economic data, especially when it goes against the predicted forecast, the coin can lose or gain value in a matter of seconds. In general, the more economic growth a country produces, the more positive the economy is for international investors. Investment capital tends to flow to countries that are believed to have good growth prospects and subsequently good investment opportunities, leading to the strengthening of the country's exchange rate. Also, a country that has higher interest rates through its government bonds tends to attract investment capital as foreign investors seek high-yield opportunities. However, stable economic growth and attractive yields or interest rates are inextricably intertwined. It's important to take advantage of market overlaps and keep an eye out for press releases when setting up a trading schedule.

Daily trend flip system📈 System 1 — Daily Trend Flip Screener
System 1 (Daily) is a trend-following screener indicator designed to help traders quickly identify assets showing strong bullish momentum, meaningful volatility, and solid liquidity.
By combining an EMA crossover with ATR filtering, this tool filters out weak or noisy signals and focuses on clean daily breakouts.
🧭 How it works
EMA Trend Flip — Signals when the fast EMA crosses above the slow EMA with an ATR-based buffer, reducing false triggers in chop.
ATR% Filter — Shows the 20-day average true range as a percentage of price to highlight assets with real movement.
$ Volume Filter — Displays average daily dollar volume over the past 20 days to ensure liquidity.
Days Since Long Trigger — Tracks how many trading days have passed since the last bullish flip, making it easy to find fresh momentum.
📊 Screener Columns
✅ LongSignal_1or0 — 1 if currently in a long signal
📈 ATR20_pct — 20-day ATR as a % of price
💰 ADDV20 — 20-day average daily dollar volume
⏳ DaysSinceLong — days since the last long trigger
💡 Use Cases
Quickly scan for daily breakout setups
Combine volatility and liquidity filters to narrow down quality tickers
Catch new momentum trades early in their trend
Build cleaner watchlists without manually scanning dozens of charts
WRESBAL ROC Oscillator (Clean)This indicator tracks the rate of change in Federal Reserve reserve balances (WRESBAL) to visualize shifts in systemic liquidity. It measures how quickly reserves are expanding or contracting over a chosen lookback window (default 26 weeks), then smooths the result to highlight durable macro trends rather than short-term noise.
Green = expanding reserves → liquidity easing → risk-asset support
Red = contracting reserves → liquidity tightening → headwind for risk assets
The oscillator is designed for macro context rather than short-term trading. It correlates strongly with major equity and credit cycles, often leading inflection points in the S&P 500 and Nasdaq by several weeks.
Use it to identify transitions between QE (quantitative easing) and QT (quantitative tightening) regimes and to gauge the liquidity environment driving broad market behavior.

---
🔧 DETAILED COMPONENT BREAKDOWN
1. Dynamic Bollinger Band % Modified Deviation Engine (DBBMD)
The foundation of this system is an advanced oscillator that combines two independent Bollinger Band systems with asymmetric parameters to create unique momentum readings.
Technical Implementation:
[
// BB System 1: Fast-reacting with extended standard deviation
primary_bb1_ma_len = 40 // Shorter MA for responsiveness
primary_bb1_sd_len = 65 // Longer SD for stability
primary_bb1_mult = 1.0 // Standard deviation multiplier
// BB System 2: Complementary asymmetric design
primary_bb2_ma_len = 8 // Longer MA for trend following
primary_bb2_sd_len = 66 // Shorter SD for volatility sensitivity
primary_bb2_mult = 1.7 // Wider bands for reduced noise
Key Features:
Asymmetric Design: The intentional mismatch between MA and Standard Deviation periods creates unique oscillation characteristics that traditional Bollinger Bands cannot achieve
Percentage Scale: All readings are normalized to 0-100% scale for consistent interpretation across assets
Multiple Combination Modes:
BB1 Only: Fast/reactive system
BB2 Only: Smooth/stable system
Average: Balanced blend (recommended)
Both Required: Conservative (both must agree)
Either One: Aggressive (either can trigger)
Mean Deviation Filter: Additional volatility-based layer that measures the standard deviation of the DBBMD% itself, creating dynamic trigger bands
Signal Generation Logic:
// Primary thresholds
primary_long_threshold = 71 // DBBMD% level for bullish signals
primary_short_threshold = 33 // DBBMD% level for bearish signals
// Mean Deviation creates dynamic bands around these thresholds
upper_md_band = combined_bb + (md_mult * bb_std)
lower_md_band = combined_bb - (md_mult * bb_std)
// Signal triggers when DBBMD crosses these dynamic bands
long_signal = lower_md_band > long_threshold
short_signal = upper_md_band < short_threshold

2. Revolutionary Dominance Matrix System
This is the system's most sophisticated innovation - a comprehensive framework that compares every asset against every other asset to determine relative strength hierarchies.
Mathematical Foundation:
The system constructs a mathematical matrix where each cell represents whether asset i dominates asset j:
// Core dominance matrix (39x39 for maximum assets)
var matrix dominance_matrix = matrix.new(39, 39, 0)
// For each qualifying asset pair (i,j):
for i = 0 to active_count - 1
for j = 0 to active_count - 1
if i != j
// Calculate price ratio BB% TrendSync for asset_i/asset_j
ratio_array = calculate_price_ratios(asset_i, asset_j)
ratio_dbbmd = calculate_dbbmd(ratio_array)
// Asset i dominates j if ratio is in uptrend
if ratio_dbbmd_state == 1
matrix.set(dominance_matrix, i, j, 1)
Copeland Scoring Algorithm:
Each asset receives a dominance score calculated as:
Dominance Score = Total Wins - Total Losses
// Calculate net dominance for each asset
for i = 0 to active_count - 1
wins = 0
losses = 0
for j = 0 to active_count - 1
if i != j
if matrix.get(dominance_matrix, i, j) == 1
wins += 1
else
losses += 1
copeland_score = wins - losses
array.set(dominance_scores, i, copeland_score)
Head-to-Head Analysis Process:
Ratio Construction: For each asset pair, calculate price_asset_A / price_asset_B
DBBMD Application: Apply the same DBBMD analysis to these ratios
Trend Determination: If ratio DBBMD shows uptrend, Asset A dominates Asset B
Matrix Population: Store dominance relationships in mathematical matrix
Score Calculation: Sum wins minus losses for final ranking
This creates a tournament-style ranking where each asset's strength is measured against all others, not just against a benchmark.
3. Advanced Alpha & Beta Filtering System
The system incorporates fundamental analysis through Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) calculations to filter assets based on risk-adjusted performance.
Alpha Calculation (Excess Return Analysis):
// CAPM Alpha calculation
f_calc_alpha(asset_prices, benchmark_prices, alpha_length, beta_length, risk_free_rate) =>
// Calculate asset and benchmark returns
asset_returns = calculate_returns(asset_prices, alpha_length)
benchmark_returns = calculate_returns(benchmark_prices, alpha_length)
// Get beta for expected return calculation
beta = f_calc_beta(asset_prices, benchmark_prices, beta_length)
// Average returns over period
avg_asset_return = array_average(asset_returns) * 100
avg_benchmark_return = array_average(benchmark_returns) * 100
// Expected return using CAPM: E(R) = Beta * Market_Return + Risk_Free_Rate
expected_return = beta * avg_benchmark_return + risk_free_rate
// Alpha = Actual Return - Expected Return
alpha = avg_asset_return - expected_return
Beta Calculation (Volatility Relationship):
// Beta measures how much an asset moves relative to benchmark
f_calc_beta(asset_prices, benchmark_prices, length) =>
// Calculate return series for both assets
asset_returns =
benchmark_returns =
// Populate return arrays
for i = 0 to length - 1
asset_return = (current_price - previous_price) / previous_price
benchmark_return = (current_bench - previous_bench) / previous_bench
// Calculate covariance and variance
covariance = calculate_covariance(asset_returns, benchmark_returns)
benchmark_variance = calculate_variance(benchmark_returns)
// Beta = Covariance(Asset, Market) / Variance(Market)
beta = covariance / benchmark_variance
Filtering Applications:
Alpha Filter: Only includes assets with alpha above specified threshold (e.g., >0.5% monthly excess return)
Beta Filter: Screens for desired volatility characteristics (e.g., beta >1.0 for aggressive assets)
Combined Screening: Both filters must pass for asset qualification
Dynamic Thresholds: User-configurable parameters for different market conditions
4. Intelligent Tie-Breaking Resolution System
When multiple assets have identical dominance scores, the system employs sophisticated methods to determine final rankings.
Standard Tie-Breaking Hierarchy:
// Primary tie-breaking logic
if score_i == score_j // Tied dominance scores
// Level 1: Compare Beta values (higher beta wins)
beta_i = array.get(beta_values, i)
beta_j = array.get(beta_values, j)
if beta_j > beta_i
swap_positions(i, j)
else if beta_j == beta_i
// Level 2: Compare Alpha values (higher alpha wins)
alpha_i = array.get(alpha_values, i)
alpha_j = array.get(alpha_values, j)
if alpha_j > alpha_i
swap_positions(i, j)
Advanced Tie-Breaking (Head-to-Head Analysis):
For the top 3 performers, an enhanced tie-breaking mechanism analyzes direct head-to-head price ratio performance:
// Advanced tie-breaker for top performers
f_advanced_tiebreaker(asset1_idx, asset2_idx, lookback_period) =>
// Calculate price ratio over lookback period
ratio_history =
for k = 0 to lookback_period - 1
price_ratio = price_asset1 / price_asset2
array.push(ratio_history, price_ratio)
// Apply simplified trend analysis to ratio
current_ratio = array.get(ratio_history, 0)
average_ratio = calculate_average(ratio_history)
// Asset 1 wins if current ratio > average (trending up)
if current_ratio > average_ratio
return 1 // Asset 1 dominates
else
return -1 // Asset 2 dominates
5. Five-Component Aggregate Market Regime Filter
This sophisticated framework combines multiple statistical tests to determine whether market conditions favor trending strategies or require defensive positioning.
Component 1: Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) Test
Tests for unit root presence to distinguish between trending and mean-reverting price series.
// Simplified ADF implementation
calculate_adf_statistic(price_series, lookback) =>
// Calculate first differences
differences =
for i = 0 to lookback - 2
diff = price_series - price_series
array.push(differences, diff)
// Statistical analysis of differences
mean_diff = calculate_mean(differences)
std_diff = calculate_standard_deviation(differences)
// ADF statistic approximation
adf_stat = mean_diff / std_diff
// Compare against threshold for trend determination
is_trending = adf_stat <= adf_threshold
Component 2: Directional Movement Index (DMI)
Classic Wilder indicator measuring trend strength through directional movement analysis.
// DMI calculation for trend strength
calculate_dmi_signal(high_data, low_data, close_data, period) =>
// Calculate directional movements
plus_dm_sum = 0.0
minus_dm_sum = 0.0
true_range_sum = 0.0
for i = 1 to period
// Directional movements
up_move = high_data - high_data
down_move = low_data - low_data
// Accumulate positive/negative movements
if up_move > down_move and up_move > 0
plus_dm_sum += up_move
if down_move > up_move and down_move > 0
minus_dm_sum += down_move
// True range calculation
true_range_sum += calculate_true_range(i)
// Calculate directional indicators
di_plus = 100 * plus_dm_sum / true_range_sum
di_minus = 100 * minus_dm_sum / true_range_sum
// ADX calculation
dx = 100 * math.abs(di_plus - di_minus) / (di_plus + di_minus)
adx = dx // Simplified for demonstration
// Trending if ADX above threshold
is_trending = adx > dmi_threshold
Component 3: KPSS Stationarity Test
Complementary test to ADF that examines stationarity around trend components.
// KPSS test implementation
calculate_kpss_statistic(price_series, lookback, significance_level) =>
// Calculate mean and variance
series_mean = calculate_mean(price_series, lookback)
series_variance = calculate_variance(price_series, lookback)
// Cumulative sum of deviations
cumulative_sum = 0.0
cumsum_squared_sum = 0.0
for i = 0 to lookback - 1
deviation = price_series - series_mean
cumulative_sum += deviation
cumsum_squared_sum += math.pow(cumulative_sum, 2)
// KPSS statistic
kpss_stat = cumsum_squared_sum / (lookback * lookback * series_variance)
// Compare against critical values
critical_value = significance_level == 0.01 ? 0.739 :
significance_level == 0.05 ? 0.463 : 0.347
is_trending = kpss_stat >= critical_value
Component 4: Choppiness Index
Measures market directionality using fractal dimension analysis of price movement.
// Choppiness Index calculation
calculate_choppiness(price_data, period) =>
// Find highest and lowest over period
highest = price_data
lowest = price_data
true_range_sum = 0.0
for i = 0 to period - 1
if price_data > highest
highest := price_data
if price_data < lowest
lowest := price_data
// Accumulate true range
if i > 0
true_range = calculate_true_range(price_data, i)
true_range_sum += true_range
// Choppiness calculation
range_high_low = highest - lowest
choppiness = 100 * math.log10(true_range_sum / range_high_low) / math.log10(period)
// Trending if choppiness below threshold (typically 61.8)
is_trending = choppiness < 61.8
Component 5: Hilbert Transform Analysis
Phase-based cycle detection and trend identification using mathematical signal processing.
// Hilbert Transform trend detection
calculate_hilbert_signal(price_data, smoothing_period, filter_period) =>
// Smooth the price data
smoothed_price = calculate_moving_average(price_data, smoothing_period)
// Calculate instantaneous phase components
// Simplified implementation for demonstration
instant_phase = smoothed_price
delayed_phase = calculate_moving_average(price_data, filter_period)
// Compare instantaneous vs delayed signals
phase_difference = instant_phase - delayed_phase
// Trending if instantaneous leads delayed
is_trending = phase_difference > 0
Aggregate Regime Determination:
// Combine all five components
regime_calculation() =>
trending_count = 0
total_components = 0
// Test each enabled component
if enable_adf and adf_signal == 1
trending_count += 1
if enable_adf
total_components += 1
// Repeat for all five components...
// Calculate trending proportion
trending_proportion = trending_count / total_components
// Market is trending if proportion above threshold
regime_allows_trading = trending_proportion >= regime_threshold
The system only allows asset positions when the specified percentage of components indicate trending conditions. During choppy or mean-reverting periods, the system automatically positions in USD to preserve capital.
6. Dynamic Portfolio Weighting Framework
Six sophisticated allocation methodologies provide flexibility for different market conditions and risk preferences.
Weighting Method Implementations:
1. Equal Weight Distribution:
// Simple equal allocation
if weighting_mode == "Equal Weight"
weight_per_asset = 1.0 / selection_count
for i = 0 to selection_count - 1
array.push(weights, weight_per_asset)
2. Linear Dominance Scaling:
// Linear scaling based on dominance scores
if weighting_mode == "Linear Dominance"
// Normalize scores to 0-1 range
min_score = array.min(dominance_scores)
max_score = array.max(dominance_scores)
score_range = max_score - min_score
total_weight = 0.0
for i = 0 to selection_count - 1
score = array.get(dominance_scores, i)
normalized = (score - min_score) / score_range
weight = 1.0 + normalized * concentration_factor
array.push(weights, weight)
total_weight += weight
// Normalize to sum to 1.0
for i = 0 to selection_count - 1
current_weight = array.get(weights, i)
array.set(weights, i, current_weight / total_weight)
3. Conviction Score (Exponential):
// Exponential scaling for high conviction
if weighting_mode == "Conviction Score"
// Combine dominance score with DBBMD strength
conviction_scores =
for i = 0 to selection_count - 1
dominance = array.get(dominance_scores, i)
dbbmd_strength = array.get(dbbmd_values, i)
conviction = dominance + (dbbmd_strength - 50) / 25
array.push(conviction_scores, conviction)
// Exponential weighting
total_weight = 0.0
for i = 0 to selection_count - 1
conviction = array.get(conviction_scores, i)
normalized = normalize_score(conviction)
weight = math.pow(1 + normalized, concentration_factor)
array.push(weights, weight)
total_weight += weight
// Final normalization
normalize_weights(weights, total_weight)
Advanced Features:
Minimum Position Constraint: Prevents dust allocations below specified threshold
Concentration Factor: Adjustable parameter controlling weight distribution aggressiveness
Dominance Boost: Extra weight for assets exceeding specified dominance thresholds
Dynamic Rebalancing: Automatic weight recalculation on portfolio changes
7. Intelligent USD Management System
The system treats USD as a competing asset with its own dominance score, enabling sophisticated cash management.
USD Scoring Methodologies:
Smart Competition Mode (Recommended):
f_calculate_smart_usd_dominance() =>
usd_wins = 0
// USD beats assets in downtrends or weak uptrends
for i = 0 to active_count - 1
asset_state = get_asset_state(i)
asset_dbbmd = get_asset_dbbmd(i)
// USD dominates shorts and weak longs
if asset_state == -1 or (asset_state == 1 and asset_dbbmd < long_threshold)
usd_wins += 1
// Calculate Copeland-style score
base_score = usd_wins - (active_count - usd_wins)
// Boost during weak market conditions
qualified_assets = count_qualified_long_assets()
if qualified_assets <= active_count * 0.2
base_score := math.round(base_score * usd_boost_factor)
base_score
Auto Short Count Mode:
// USD dominance based on number of bearish assets
usd_dominance = count_assets_in_short_state()
// Apply boost during low activity
if qualified_long_count <= active_count * 0.2
usd_dominance := usd_dominance * usd_boost_factor
Regime-Based USD Positioning:
When the five-component regime filter indicates unfavorable conditions, the system automatically overrides all asset signals and positions 100% in USD, protecting capital during choppy markets.
8. Multi-Asset Infrastructure & Data Management
The system maintains comprehensive data structures for up to 39 assets simultaneously.
Data Collection Framework:
// Full OHLC data matrices (200 bars depth for performance)
var matrix open_data = matrix.new(39, 200, na)
var matrix high_data = matrix.new(39, 200, na)
var matrix low_data = matrix.new(39, 200, na)
var matrix close_data = matrix.new(39, 200, na)
// Real-time data collection
if barstate.isconfirmed
for i = 0 to active_count - 1
ticker = array.get(assets, i)
= request.security(ticker, timeframe.period,
[open , high , low , close ],
lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_off)
// Store in matrices with proper shifting
matrix.set(open_data, i, 0, nz(o, 0))
matrix.set(high_data, i, 0, nz(h, 0))
matrix.set(low_data, i, 0, nz(l, 0))
matrix.set(close_data, i, 0, nz(c, 0))

🔒 ANTI-REPAINTING ARCHITECTURE & LIVE TRADING READINESS
One of the most critical aspects of any trading system is ensuring that signals and calculations are based on confirmed, historical data rather than current bar information that can change throughout the trading session. This system implements comprehensive anti-repainting measures to ensure 100% reliability for live trading .
The Repainting Problem in Trading Systems
Repainting occurs when an indicator uses current, unconfirmed bar data in its calculations, causing:
False Historical Signals: Backtests appear better than reality because calculations change as bars develop
Live Trading Failures: Signals that looked profitable in testing fail when deployed in real markets
Inconsistent Results: Different results when running the same indicator at different times during a trading session
Misleading Performance: Inflated win rates and returns that cannot be replicated in practice
GForge Anti-Repainting Implementation
This system eliminates repainting through multiple technical safeguards:
1. Historical Data Usage for All Calculations
// CRITICAL: All calculations use PREVIOUS bar data (note the offset)
= request.security(ticker, timeframe.period,
[open , high , low , close , close],
lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_off)
// Store confirmed previous bar OHLC for calculations
matrix.set(open_data, i, 0, nz(o1, 0)) // Previous bar open
matrix.set(high_data, i, 0, nz(h1, 0)) // Previous bar high
matrix.set(low_data, i, 0, nz(l1, 0)) // Previous bar low
matrix.set(close_data, i, 0, nz(c1, 0)) // Previous bar close
// Current bar close only for visualization
matrix.set(current_prices, i, 0, nz(c0, 0)) // Live price display
2. Confirmed Bar State Processing
// Only process data when bars are confirmed and closed
if barstate.isconfirmed
// All signal generation and portfolio decisions occur here
// using only historical, unchanging data
// Shift historical data arrays
for i = 0 to active_count - 1
for bar = math.min(data_bars, 199) to 1
// Move confirmed data through historical matrices
old_data = matrix.get(close_data, i, bar - 1)
matrix.set(close_data, i, bar, old_data)
// Process new confirmed bar data
calculate_all_signals_and_dominance()
3. Lookahead Prevention
// Explicit lookahead prevention in all security calls
request.security(ticker, timeframe.period, expression,
lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_off)
// This ensures no future data can influence current calculations
// Essential for maintaining signal integrity across all timeframes
4. State Persistence with Historical Validation
// Asset states only change based on confirmed threshold breaks
// using historical data that cannot change
var array asset_states = array.new(1560, 0)
// State changes use only confirmed, previous bar calculations
if barstate.isconfirmed
=
f_calculate_enhanced_dbbmd(confirmed_price_array, ...)
// Only update states after bar confirmation
if long_crossover_confirmed and current_state != 1
current_state := 1
array.set(asset_states, asset_index, 1)
Live Trading vs. Backtesting Consistency
The system's architecture ensures identical behavior in both environments:
Backtesting Mode:
Uses historical offset data for all calculations
Processes confirmed bars with `barstate.isconfirmed`
Maintains identical signal generation logic
No access to future information
Live Trading Mode:
Uses same historical offset data structure
Waits for bar confirmation before signal updates
Identical mathematical calculations and thresholds
Real-time price display without affecting signals
Technical Implementation Details
Data Collection Timing
// Example of proper data collection timing
if barstate.isconfirmed // Wait for bar to close
// Collect PREVIOUS bar's confirmed OHLC data
for i = 0 to active_count - 1
ticker = array.get(assets, i)
// Get confirmed previous bar data (note offset)
=
request.security(ticker, timeframe.period,
[open , high , low , close , close],
lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_off)
// ALL calculations use prev_* values
// current_close only for real-time display
portfolio_calculations_use_previous_bar_data()
Signal Generation Process
// Signal generation workflow (simplified)
if barstate.isconfirmed and data_bars >= minimum_required_bars
// Step 1: Calculate DBBMD using historical price arrays
for i = 0 to active_count - 1
historical_prices = get_confirmed_price_history(i) // Uses offset data
= calculate_dbbmd(historical_prices)
update_asset_state(i, state)
// Step 2: Build dominance matrix using confirmed data
calculate_dominance_relationships() // All historical data
// Step 3: Generate portfolio signals
new_portfolio = generate_target_portfolio() // Based on confirmed calculations
// Step 4: Compare with previous signals for changes
if portfolio_signals_changed()
execute_portfolio_transition()
Verification Methods for Users
Users can verify the anti-repainting behavior through several methods:
1. Historical Replay Test
Run the indicator on historical data
Note signal timing and portfolio changes
Replay the same period - signals should be identical
No retroactive changes in historical signals
2. Intraday Consistency Check
Load indicator during active trading session
Observe that previous day's signals remain unchanged
Only current day's final bar should show potential signal changes
Refresh indicator - historical signals should be identical
Live Trading Deployment Considerations
Data Quality Assurance
Exchange Connectivity: Ensure reliable data feeds for all 39 assets
Missing Data Handling: System includes safeguards for data gaps
Price Validation: Automatic filtering of obvious price errors
Timeframe Synchronization: All assets synchronized to same bar timing
Performance Impact of Anti-Repainting Measures
The robust anti-repainting implementation requires additional computational resources:
Memory Usage: 200-bar historical data storage for 39 assets
Processing Delay: Signals update only after bar confirmation
Calculation Overhead: Multiple historical data validations
Alert Timing: Slight delay compared to current-bar indicators
However, these trade-offs are essential for reliable live trading performance and accurate backtesting results.
Critical: Equity Curve Anti-Repainting Architecture
The most sophisticated aspect of this system's anti-repainting design is the temporal separation between signal generation and performance calculation . This creates a realistic trading simulation that perfectly matches live trading execution.
The Timing Sequence
// STEP 1: Store what we HELD during the current bar (for performance calc)
if barstate.isconfirmed
// Record positions that were active during this bar
array.clear(held_portfolio)
array.clear(held_weights)
for i = 0 to array.size(execution_portfolio) - 1
array.push(held_portfolio, array.get(execution_portfolio, i))
array.push(held_weights, array.get(execution_weights, i))
// STEP 2: Calculate performance based on what we HELD
portfolio_return = 0.0
for i = 0 to array.size(held_portfolio) - 1
held_asset = array.get(held_portfolio, i)
held_weight = array.get(held_weights, i)
// Performance from current_price vs reference_price
// This is what we ACTUALLY earned during this bar
if held_asset != "USD"
current_price = get_current_price(held_asset) // End of bar
reference_price = get_reference_price(held_asset) // Start of bar
asset_return = (current_price - reference_price) / reference_price
portfolio_return += asset_return * held_weight
// STEP 3: Apply return to equity (realistic timing)
equity := equity * (1 + portfolio_return)
// STEP 4: Generate NEW signals for NEXT period (using confirmed data)
= f_generate_target_portfolio()
// STEP 5: Execute transitions if signals changed
if signal_changed
// Update execution_portfolio for NEXT bar
array.clear(execution_portfolio)
array.clear(execution_weights)
for i = 0 to array.size(new_signal_portfolio) - 1
array.push(execution_portfolio, array.get(new_signal_portfolio, i))
array.push(execution_weights, array.get(new_signal_weights, i))
Why This Prevents Equity Curve Repainting
Performance Attribution: Returns are calculated based on positions that were **actually held** during each bar, not future signals
Signal Timing: New signals are generated **after** performance calculation, affecting only **future** bars
Realistic Execution: Mimics real trading where you earn returns on current positions while planning future moves
No Retroactive Changes: Once a bar closes, its performance contribution to equity is permanent and unchangeable
The One-Bar Offset Mechanism
This system implements a critical one-bar timing offset:
// Bar N: Performance Calculation
// ================================
// 1. Calculate returns on positions held during Bar N
// 2. Update equity based on actual holdings during Bar N
// 3. Plot equity point for Bar N (based on what we HELD)
// Bar N: Signal Generation
// ========================
// 4. Generate signals for Bar N+1 (using confirmed Bar N data)
// 5. Send alerts for what will be held during Bar N+1
// 6. Update execution_portfolio for Bar N+1
// Bar N+1: The Cycle Continues
// =============================
// 1. Performance calculated on positions from Bar N signals
// 2. New signals generated for Bar N+2
Alert System Timing
The alert system reflects this sophisticated timing:
Transaction Cost Realism
Even transaction costs follow realistic timing:
// Fees applied when transitioning between different portfolios
if should_execute_transition
// Charge fees BEFORE taking new positions (realistic timing)
if transaction_fee > 0
fee_amount = equity * (transaction_fee / 100)
equity -= fee_amount // Immediate cost impact
total_fees += fee_amount
// THEN update to new portfolio
update_execution_portfolio(new_signals)
transitions += 1
// Fees reduce equity immediately, affecting all future calculations
// This matches real trading where fees are deducted upon execution
LIVE TRADING CERTIFICATION:
This system has been specifically designed and tested for live trading deployment. The comprehensive anti-repainting measures ensure that:
Backtesting results accurately represent real trading potential
Signals are generated using only confirmed, historical data
No retroactive changes can occur to previously generated signals
Portfolio transitions are based on reliable, unchanging calculations
Performance metrics reflect realistic trading outcomes including proper timing
Users can deploy this system with confidence that live trading results will closely match backtesting performance, subject to normal market execution factors such as slippage and liquidity.

System Limitations:
No algorithmic system can guarantee profitable outcomes
Complex systems may fail in unexpected ways during extreme market events
Historical backtesting does not account for all real-world trading challenges
Slippage, liquidity constraints, and market impact can significantly affect results
System parameters require careful optimization and ongoing monitoring

HTF Power of Three+ Limitless by Supreme
HTF Power of Three+ Limitless by Supreme
This indicator provides a high fidelity lens into the market's fundamental fractal rhythm.
For the professional trader who understands every candle is a story of accumulation manipulation and distribution this tool transcends the limitations of linear time analysis.
It offers an institutional grade panoramic dashboard of the Power of Three archetype operating seamlessly across any timeframe without constraint.
The core limitation of standard chart analysis is the boundary between timeframes.
This tool dissolves these walls presenting a fluid four dimensional view of market dynamics directly on your chart.
It transforms your perception by offering a continuous unbroken context of the higher timeframe narrative that governs all lower timeframe price action.
This is not merely another visualization tool.
It is a complete solution to the problem of temporal dissonance that plagues most traders.
The standard chart presents a flat fragmented reality.
You are forced to switch between timeframes losing your place and breaking your cognitive flow.
This constant friction degrades the quality of analysis and leads to missed opportunities or flawed execution.
The market is a fractal an infinitely repeating pattern across all scales of time.
Lower timeframe price movements are not random events.
They are the direct consequence of the objectives being pursued on higher timeframes.
To trade without this higher timeframe context is to navigate a storm without a compass guided only by the immediate chaotic waves.
This indicator provides that compass.
The Power of Three is the narrative structure embedded within every candle.
This concept posits that smart money engineers price through a deliberate three phase process.
First is the accumulation phase.
This is a period of relative equilibrium typically around the opening price where large institutions quietly build their positions.
It is the balance before the imbalance the coiling of a spring.
Second is the manipulation phase.
This is the critical judas swing or stop hunt designed to engineer liquidity.
Price is intentionally driven against the true intended direction to trip stop loss orders from breakout traders and induce uninformed participants to take the wrong side of the market.
Their selling becomes the liquidity for institutions to buy at better prices and vice versa.
Third is the distribution phase.
This is the true expansion move where price travels rapidly in the direction of institutional intent.
This is the clean efficient price leg that most trend following systems attempt to capture often after the most advantageous entry point has passed.
Understanding this three part structure is the key to aligning your trades with smart money flow.
This tool makes that entire process visible.
The current live higher timeframe candle is projected onto your chart as it forms.
This is not a static snapshot but a living representation of the ongoing campaign.
Every tick on your lower timeframe chart now has context.
You can see precisely if price is in the initial accumulation phase giving you time to prepare.
You can identify the manipulation phase as it happens allowing you to avoid being trapped or to position yourself for the reversal.
You can confirm the beginning of the distribution phase providing the confidence to engage with the true market move.
The indicator also displays the three previously completed higher timeframe candles.
This is not just historical data.
It is the immediate narrative context.
These three candles reveal the established order flow and the key price levels that matter.
The highs and lows of these candles are not arbitrary points.
They are institutional reference points magnets for liquidity and critical levels for targeting or invalidation.
A manipulation move will often seek the high or low of the previous candle before reversing.
The expansion move will often target the liquidity resting beyond a high or low from two candles prior.
This four candle panoramic view allows for sophisticated narrative construction.
You can build a high probability thesis for the trading session based on the interrelationship of these candles.
For example after a series of strong bullish higher timeframe closes a brief manipulative dip below the prior candle's open becomes a very high probability long entry.
Conversely a failure to expand above the previous candle's high after a strong run may signal exhaustion and an impending reversal.
The tool's architecture is built on a state of the art non redrawing framework.
All visual elements are created once and only their parameters are updated.
This eliminates redraw lag entirely ensuring a fluid instantaneous and seamless experience.
Your analytical environment will remain sharp responsive and completely unburdened even during extreme market volatility.
The engine is unbound by time.
Its logic is perfectly fractal.
A scalper on a one minute chart using a fifteen minute context gains the same clarity and follows the same principles as a swing trader on a daily chart using a weekly context.
The pattern is universal.
This tool makes its application universally accessible.
This is for the trader who is no longer satisfied with looking at the market through a keyhole.
It is for the analyst who demands a complete limitless and flawlessly performing view of the price delivery process.
-
By installing this indicator you move from a fragmented view of price to a holistic four dimensional understanding of the market.
You achieve temporal coherence seeing the cause on the higher timeframe and the effect on the lower timeframe as a single unified process.
You begin to operate without the constraints of conventional charting.
Muzyorae - ICT Quarterly Theory (Intraday)ICT Quarterly Theory — Intraday
What it is
ICT’s Quarterly Theory models the intraday session as repeating cycles of four “quarters.” On NY time, a trading day is split into four macro quarters of 6 hours each:
Q1: 00:00–06:00 NY (Asia / pre-London)
Q2: 06:00–12:00 NY (London–NY overlap, AM session)
Q3: 12:00–18:00 NY (Midday / PM session)
Q4: 18:00–24:00 NY (Asia re-open / late session)
Each macro quarter can be further subdivided into micro quarters of 90 minutes (q1–q4). This fractal view helps traders frame accumulation → expansion → distribution → liquidation phases and align executions with time-of-day liquidity.
Why it matters
Orderflow, liquidity raids, and displacement are highly time-dependent. Marking the quarters makes it easier to:
Anticipate when the market is likely to deliver the day’s expansion (often Q2) versus retracement/distribution (often Q3) or late liquidity runs (often Q4).
Compare today’s behavior to prior days within the same quarter windows.
Anchor bias, entries, and risk management to session-specific highs/lows rather than arbitrary clock times.
What this indicator shows
Macro quarters (6h): Vertical lines and optional labels (Q1–Q4) on NY time.
Micro quarters (90m): Optional finer verticals inside each macro quarter (q1–q4) for precise timing.
True Open (Q2 AM): Optional line at the AM session’s true open (default 06:00 NY) to study premium/discount development from the intraday benchmark.
Futures Sunday handling: Optional treatment of Sunday 18:00 NY as Q4 (useful for FX/futures).
Label controls: Choose above/below placement, offset, size, and colors; micro labels can be toggled independently.
Performance-friendly: De-duplicated labels and a look-back “days to show” setting keep charts clean.
How to use
Timeframe: Works on intraday charts (1–60m). 5–15m is a common balance of signal vs. noise.
Bias framing:
Map Asia (Q1), AM expansion (Q2), midday distribution (Q3), late session runs (Q4).
Compare where the daily range forms versus the True Open to gauge premium/discount and likely continuations.
Execution: Look for standard ICT tools (liquidity sweeps, FVGs, displacement, PD arrays) inside the active quarter to avoid fighting time-of-day flow.
Review: Scroll back multiple days and evaluate where the day’s high/low typically forms relative to Q2–Q3; adapt expectations.
Settings (high level)
Show Macro Labels / Micro Lines / Micro Labels
Label position (above/below), X-shift, colors, sizes
Days to show, de-dup window (prevents label overlaps)
Q2 True Open toggle and extension (doesn't work)
Include Sunday as Q4 (18:00 NY)
Notes
Quarter boundaries are fixed to America/New York session logic to match ICT timing.
This is a context tool; it does not generate buy/sell signals. Combine with your existing execution model.
Past behavior does not guarantee future results. Use proper risk management.
BE-Indicator Aggregator toolkit█ Overview:
BE-Indicator Aggregator toolkit is a toolkit which is built for those we rely on taking multi-confirmation from different indicators available with the traders. This Toolkit aid's traders in understanding their custom logic for their trade setups and provides the summarized results on how it performed over the past.
█ How It Works:
Load the external indicator plots in the indicator input setting
Provide your custom logic for the trade setup
Set your expected SL & TP values
█ Legends, Definitions & Logic Building Rules:
Building the logic for your trade setup plays a pivotal role in the toolkit, it shall be broken into parts and toolkit aims to understand each of the logical parts of your setup and interpret the outcome as trade accuracy.
Toolkit broadly aims to understand 4 types of inputs in "Condition Builder"
Comments : Line which starts with single quotation ( ' ) shall be ignored by toolkit while understanding the logic.
Note: Blank line space or less than 3 characters are treated equally to comments.
Long Condition: Line which starts with " L- " shall be considered for identifying Long setups.
Short Condition: Line which starts with " S- " shall be considered for identifying Short setups.
Variables: Line which starts with " VAR- " shall be considered as variables. Variables can be one such criteria for Long or short condition.
Building Rules: Define all variables first then specify the condition. The usual declare and assign concept of programming. :p)
Criteria Rules: Criteria are individual logic for your one parent condition. multiple criteria can be present in one condition. Each parameter should be delimited with ' | ' key and each criteria should be delimited with ' , ' (Comma with a space - IMPORTANT!!!)
█ Sample Codes for Conditional Builder:
For Trading Long when Open = Low
For Trading Short when Open = High with a Red candle
'Long Setup <---- Comment
L-O|E|L
' E <- in the above line refers to Equals ' = '

Rpaid Killzone Breakout v3.6Final Indicator Title: Rapid Killzone Break & HTF Levels
Overview
Welcome to the Rapid Killzone Break & HTF Levels, an all-in-one trading toolkit designed for precision and context. This indicator was built to solve a common problem for day traders: how to combine a precise, lower-timeframe (LTF) entry model with the essential context of higher-timeframe (HTF) levels.
This tool is founded on a session-based breakout strategy, leveraging the volatility and liquidity generated during specific market hours (the "Killzones"). It then layers critical HTF support and resistance levels onto your chart, allowing you to make more informed trading decisions without ever needing to switch timeframes.
Whether you trade Forex, Gold, or major Indices, this indicator provides a comprehensive framework for identifying high-probability breakout opportunities.
The Core Strategy
The methodology is a powerful three-step process based on session liquidity and qualified breakouts:
The Killzone Range: The indicator first identifies the high and low established during a specific, high-volatility trading session (e.g., the first hour of London or New York). This range acts as a pool of liquidity. The core idea is that the market will often seek to "sweep" or run the liquidity resting above the session high or below the session low.
The Qualified Breakout: This is not just any breakout strategy. A valid entry signal only appears when price closes decisively outside the Killzone range with significant momentum. To ensure the quality of the signal, the breakout must meet several user-defined criteria:
The Killzone must have a minimum pip range.
The breakout candle must have a strong body-to-wick ratio.
The breakout must be accompanied by a spike in volume.
Higher Timeframe Confluence: A breakout is more likely to succeed if it aligns with the HTF narrative. This indicator plots the previous higher-timeframe candle's high and low directly onto your chart. These levels act as powerful magnets for price or as formidable support/resistance zones. A breakout on the LTF that targets the HTF previous high is a much higher-probability setup than one trading directly into it.
Key Features
📊 DST-Aware Killzones: Automatically adjusting session boxes for London and New York. The timezones are fully configurable (e.g., Europe/London, America/New_York) and automatically handle Daylight Saving Time changes so you never have to manually adjust them.
📈 Killzone Pivots: Automatically draws the High, Low, and a dotted Midpoint from each Killzone session, acting as key intraday levels.
🏛️ Higher Timeframe (HTF) Levels: Plots the previous HTF candle's High and Low as dashed lines on your chart, providing critical context for support, resistance, and targets.
🕯️ HTF Mini-Candles: Displays a visual summary of the last three HTF candles on the right side of your chart, so you can see the HTF trend at a glance.
⏰ Custom Vertical Timestamps: Up to three configurable vertical lines with labels to mark key events like other session opens (e.g., "Sydney Open").
🎛️ Advanced Breakout Filters: Fine-tune your signals with filters for minimum Killzone range, minimum candle body percentage, and volume spikes. (Important: The volume filter requires a data feed that provides real volume, such as OANDA, FXCM, or futures/stock data).
✅ Dynamic Entry Advice Table: After a signal, a table provides a suggested entry technique (e.g., "50% retrace to signal candle") based on how far price has moved from the breakout level.
📋 Killzone Range Stats Table: A clean table shows the current and average pip range for both the London and New York sessions, helping you gauge current volatility.
🛠️ Fully Customizable: Nearly every visual element can be toggled on/off or have its color and style changed to suit your personal chart theme.
How to Use This Indicator
This tool is designed to provide a clear, step-by-step workflow for your trading sessions.
Setup: In the settings, choose your desired Reference Timeframe (e.g., 240 for 4-Hour). Configure your Killzone session times and colors.
Context is King: Before the session begins, take note of where price is in relation to the dashed HTF High/Low lines. Is price consolidating below the previous HTF low? A breakout might target it. Is price approaching the HTF high? This could be a take-profit area or a point of resistance.
Wait for the Range: Allow the London or New York Killzone (the colored box) to form completely.
Anticipate the Breakout: Once the session box is closed, the indicator is now hunting for a valid breakout.
Validate the Signal: When a "Long" or "Short" label appears, this is your entry signal. Check the Info-Box data (RSI, volume, candle body %) to confirm the strength of the move.
Manage the Trade: Use the Killzone pivots and the HTF High/Low lines as potential areas to manage your trade, take partial profits, or identify a final target. Check the Entry Advice table for ideas on refined entries if you miss the initial move.
Applicable Markets
This strategy is most effective on instruments known for their session-based volatility. It has been tested and works exceptionally well on:
Forex Majors: EUR/USD, GBP/USD, etc.
Gold: XAU/USD
Indices: NASDAQ 100 (NQ100), S&P 500 (SPX500)
It is best used on lower timeframes (such as the 5-minute or 15-minute chart) for trade execution.
Protected Pivots Points by RiotwolftradingProtected Pivots Points by Riotwolftrading
---
You have an advanced visual tool designed for traders who want to identify and manage key price levels with maximum precision.
This script detects protected pivots (significant highs and lows) and marks them with horizontal lines on the chart. These lines automatically extend for a fixed number of bars or until price invalidates the level with a closing break.
---
🚀 What makes this indicator special?
---
✅ Protected pivot detection:
The indicator identifies protected highs and lows using a fixed pivot strength
✅ Wick break detection (liquidity sweep visualization):
When a wick crosses the pivot level **without the candle closing beyond the level, the indicator automatically changes the line’s color and style.
👉 This immediately shows the trader that the level was tested but remains structurally valid.
✅ Highly customizable visuals:
* Choose whether to show color for protected highs, lows, or wick break levels.
* Set your own colors, line styles (solid, dashed, dotted), and line widths.
---
### 🌟 Why is wick break detection so valuable?
---
💡 Instant context on price action:
No need to manually check every candle to see if a level was barely tested. The indicator changes the line’s appearance automatically, so you can focus on decisions.
💡 Clear distinction between untouched levels and tested levels:
* A level with no wick test is pristine support/resistance.
* A level tested by a wick but not invalidated is still valid — but may have been swept for liquidity.
💡 Crucial for precision trading strategies:
This is particularly important for strategies that rely on:
✅ Liquidity sweeps / stop hunts.
✅ Reversals from tested zones.
✅ Smart Money Concepts (SMC).
✅ ICT concepts, breakers, Quasimodo, BOS/MSS.
The wick break visualization helps filter false breakouts and highlights areas where institutional players may have stepped in.
💡 Avoid premature exits or entries:**
The color/style change tells you a level was tested but not broken, so you avoid overreacting to wick activity.
---
### ⚡ Example use case**
Imagine a protected low line:
🔹 Price dips and its wick touches the level — the line changes color (e.g. violet solid line).
🔹 The level is still valid because the close didn’t break it.
🔹 This could signal a stop hunt or liquidity grab, with a possible reversal opportunity right at that level.
---
### 🧭 **Why most pivot indicators don’t offer this**
Most pivot indicators:
❌ Simply mark the level and remove it after a close break.
❌ Don’t distinguish between a wick test and a true break.
🌟 **This indicator does — giving traders an extra layer of market insight.**
---
### ⚠ **Disclaimer**
This indicator is a visual aid to help identify key levels and price reactions. It does **not** generate buy or sell signals and should be used alongside your trading analysis and strategy.

SMT - JimmyTrades🔧 SMT – JimmyTrades: Publication Rules and User Guide
📌 What This Script Does
This script detects Smart Money Traps (SMT) Divergences between the instrument on your chart and a comparative symbol (default: ES). It automatically plots both confirmed and unconfirmed bullish and bearish SMT setups across multiple timeframes.
These SMT divergences can help traders:
Identify potential reversal points
Confirm high-probability entries in line with smart money behavior
Enhance bias when confluence aligns with other market structure or liquidity factors
⚙️ Important Settings
Please make sure you correctly configure the following inputs:
Symbol: The comparative asset to check divergence against. Common examples: ES, NQ, SPX.
Session Type: Ensure this matches your chart’s session setting: Extended or Regular.
Adjustment Type: Match this to your chart (None, Dividends, or Splits) under TradingView’s chart settings (bottom-right corner).
Pivot Lookback: Controls the sensitivity of divergence detection (default is 15). Higher values reduce signal frequency.
Timeframes: You can enable up to six timeframes independently for SMT scanning.
🟢 Bullish SMT Signals
Bullish SMTs are identified when price on your chart makes a lower low, but the comparative symbol (e.g., ES) does not, suggesting potential accumulation or trap liquidity.
🔴 Bearish SMT Signals
Bearish SMTs are flagged when your chart makes a higher high, while the comparative symbol fails to do so, hinting at distribution or a stop run setup.
📈 How to Use This Script
Add the indicator to your chart.
Set the correct comparative symbol (e.g., ES for NQ, SPX for SPY, etc.).
Choose your preferred timeframes.
Watch for unconfirmed SMTs (dotted lines) as potential early warnings.
Look for confirmed SMTs (solid lines) once price respects the divergence zone for several bars.
Combine with structure, liquidity sweeps, killzones, and high-impact news for higher confluence.
🧠 Best Practices
Use SMT signals as part of a broader trade plan—not standalone entries.
Focus on SMTs forming after liquidity sweeps or during session opens (London/NY).
Combine with your higher-timeframe bias, breaker blocks, or Pegasus/Unicorn entry models.
⚠️ Limitations
Historical backtest may show perfect SMTs—real-time confirmation requires patience.
SMTs may not play out without proper context—avoid blindly entering based on signal alone.
This script is not financial advice—use at your own discretion and always manage risk.
