ICT Unicorn | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new ICT Unicorn Indicator! This indicator is built around the ICT's "Unicorn" strategy. The strategy uses Breaker Blocks and Fair Value Gaps for entry confirmation. For more information about the process, check the "HOW DOES IT WORK" section.
Features of the new ICT Unicorn Indicator :
Implementation of ICT's Unicorn Strategy
Toggleable Retracement Entry Method
3 Different TP / SL Methods
Customizable Execution Settings
Customizable Backtesting Dashboard
Alerts for Buy, Sell, TP & SL Signals
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
The ICT Unicorn entry model merges the concepts of Breaker Blocks and Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), offering a distinct method for identifying trade opportunities. By integrating these two elements, we can have a position entry with stop-loss and take-profit targets on the potential support & resistance zones. This model is particularly reliable for trade entry, as it combines two powerful entry techniques.
An ICT Unicorn Model consists of a FVG which is overlapping with a Breaker Block of the same type. Here is an example :
When a FVG overlaps with a Breaker Block of the same type, the indicator gives a Buy or Sell signal depending on the FVG type (Bullish & Bearish). If the "Require Retracement" option is enabled in the settings, the signals are not given immediately. Instead, the current price of the ticker will need to touch the FVG once more before the signals are given.
After the Buy or Sell signal, the indicator immediately draws the take-profit (TP) and stop-loss (SL) targets. The indicator has three different TP & SL modes, explained in the "Settings" section of this write-up.
You can set up alerts for entry and TP & SL signals, and also check the current performance of the indicator and adjust the settings accordingly to the current ticker using the backtesting dashboard.
🚩 UNIQUENESS
This indicator is an all-in-one suit for the ICT's Unicorn concept. It's capable of plotting the strategy, giving signals, a backtesting dashboard and alerts feature. Different and customizable algorithm modes will help the trader fine-tune the indicator for the asset they are currently trading. Three different TP / SL modes are available to suit your needs. The backtesting dashboard allows you to see how your settings perform in the current ticker. You can also set up alerts to get informed when the strategy is executable for different tickers.
⚙️ SETTINGS
1. General Configuration
FVG Detection Sensitivity -> You may select between Low, Normal, High or Extreme FVG detection sensitivity. This will essentially determine the size of the spotted FVGs, with lower sensitivies resulting in spotting bigger FVGs, and higher sensitivies resulting in spotting all sizes of FVGs.
Swing Length -> Swing length is used when finding order block formations. Smaller values will result in finding smaller order & breaker blocks.
Require Retracement ->
a) Disabled : The entry signal is given immediately once a FVG overlaps with a Breaker Block of the same type.
b) Enabled : The current price of the ticker will need to touch the FVG once more before the entry signal is given.
2. TP / SL
TP / SL Method ->
a) Unicorn : This is the default option. The SL will be set to the lowest low of the last 100 bars with an extra offset in a Buy signal. For Sell signals, the SL will be set to the highest high of the last 100 bars with an extra offset. The TP is then set to a value using the SL value and maintaining a risk-reward ratio.
b) Dynamic: The TP / SL zones will be auto-determined by the algorithm based on the Average True Range (ATR) of the current ticker.
c) Fixed : You can adjust the exact TP / SL ratios from the settings below.
Dynamic Risk -> The risk you're willing to take if "Dynamic" TP / SL Method is selected. Higher risk usually means a better winrate at the cost of losing more if the strategy fails. This setting is has a crucial effect on the performance of the indicator, as different tickers may have different volatility so the indicator may have increased performance when this setting is correctly adjusted.

3D Institutional Battlefield [SurgeGuru]Professional Presentation: 3D Institutional Flow Terrain Indicator
Overview
The 3D Institutional Flow Terrain is an advanced trading visualization tool that transforms complex market structure into an intuitive 3D landscape. This indicator synthesizes multiple institutional data points—volume profiles, order blocks, liquidity zones, and voids—into a single comprehensive view, helping you identify high-probability trading opportunities.
Key Features
🎥 Camera & Projection Controls
Yaw & Pitch: Adjust viewing angles (0-90°) for optimal perspective
Scale Controls: Fine-tune X (width), Y (depth), and Z (height) dimensions
Pro Tip: Increase Z-scale to amplify terrain features for better visibility
🌐 Grid & Surface Configuration
Resolution: Adjust X (16-64) and Y (12-48) grid density
Visual Elements: Toggle surface fill, wireframe, and node markers
Optimization: Higher resolution provides more detail but requires more processing power
📊 Data Integration
Lookback Period: 50-500 bars of historical analysis
Multi-Source Data: Combine volume profile, order blocks, liquidity zones, and voids
Weighted Analysis: Each data source contributes proportionally to the terrain height
How to Use the Frontend
💛 Price Line Tracking (Your Primary Focus)
The yellow price line is your most important guide:
Monitor Price Movement: Track how the yellow line interacts with the 3D terrain
Identify Key Levels: Watch for these critical interactions:
Order Blocks (Green/Red Zones):
When yellow price line enters green zones = Bullish order block
When yellow price line enters red zones = Bearish order block
These represent institutional accumulation/distribution areas
Liquidity Voids (Yellow Zones):
When yellow price line enters yellow void areas = Potential acceleration zones
Voids indicate price gaps where minimal trading occurred
Price often moves rapidly through voids toward next liquidity pool
Terrain Reading:
High Terrain Peaks: High volume/interest areas (support/resistance)
Low Terrain Valleys: Low volume areas (potential breakout zones)
Color Coding:
Green terrain = Bullish volume dominance
Red terrain = Bearish volume dominance
Purple = Neutral/transition areas
📈 Volume Profile Integration
POC (Point of Control): Automatically marks highest volume level
Volume Bins: Adjust granularity (10-50 bins)
Height Weight: Control how much volume affects terrain elevation
🏛️ Order Block Detection
Detection Length: 5-50 bar lookback for block identification
Strength Weighting: Recent blocks have greater impact on terrain
Candle Body Option: Use full candles or body-only for block definition
💧 Liquidity Zone Tracking
Multiple Levels: Track 3-10 key liquidity zones
Buy/Sell Side: Different colors for bid/ask liquidity
Strength Decay: Older zones have diminishing terrain impact
🌊 Liquidity Void Identification
Threshold Multiplier: Adjust sensitivity (0.5-2.0)
Height Amplification: Voids create significant terrain depressions
Acceleration Zones: Price typically moves quickly through void areas
Practical Trading Application
Bullish Scenario:
Yellow price line approaches green order block terrain
Price finds support in elevated bullish volume areas
Terrain shows consistent elevation through key levels
Bearish Scenario:
Yellow price line struggles at red order block resistance
Price falls through liquidity voids toward lower terrain
Bearish volume peaks dominate the landscape
Breakout Setup:
Yellow price line consolidates in flat terrain
Minimal resistance (low terrain) in projected direction
Clear path toward distant liquidity zones
Pro Tips
Start Simple: Begin with default settings, then gradually customize
Focus on Yellow Line: Your primary indicator of current price position
Combine Timeframes: Use the same terrain across multiple timeframes for confluence
Volume Confirmation: Ensure terrain peaks align with actual volume spikes
Void Anticipation: When price enters voids, prepare for potential rapid movement
Order Blocks & Voids Architecture
Order Blocks Calculation
Trigger: Price breaks fractal swing points
Bullish OB: When close > swing high → find lowest low in lookback period
Bearish OB: When close < swing low → find highest high in lookback period
Strength: Based on price distance from block extremes
Storage: Global array maintains last 50 blocks with FIFO management
Liquidity Voids Detection
Trigger: Price gaps exceeding ATR threshold
Bull Void: Low - high > (ATR200 × multiplier)
Bear Void: Low - high > (ATR200 × multiplier)
Validation: Close confirms gap direction
Storage: Global array maintains last 30 voids
Key Design Features
Real-time Updates: Calculated every bar, not just on last bar
Global Persistence: Arrays maintain state across executions
FIFO Management: Automatic cleanup of oldest entries
Configurable Sensitivity: Adjustable lookback periods and thresholds
Scientific Testing Framework
Hypothesis Testing
Primary Hypothesis: 3D terrain visualization improves detection of institutional order flow vs traditional 2D charts
Testable Metrics:
Prediction Accuracy: Does terrain structure predict future support/resistance?
Reaction Time: Faster identification of key levels vs conventional methods
False Positive Reduction: Lower rate of failed breakouts/breakdowns
Control Variables
Market Regime: Trending vs ranging conditions
Asset Classes: Forex, equities, cryptocurrencies
Timeframes: M5 to H4 for intraday, D1 for swing

Data Collection Protocol
Terrain Features to Quantify:
Slope gradient changes at price inflection points
Volume peak clustering density
Order block terrain elevation vs subsequent price action
Void depth correlation with momentum acceleration
Control Group: Traditional support/resistance + volume profile
Experimental Group: 3D Institutional Flow Terrain
Statistical Measures
Signal-to-Noise Ratio: Terrain features vs random price movements
Lead Time: Terrain formation ahead of price confirmation
Effect Size: Performance difference between groups (Cohen's d)
Statistical Power: Sample size requirements for significance
Validation Methodology
Blind Testing:
Remove price labels from terrain screenshots
Have traders identify key levels from terrain alone
Measure accuracy vs actual price action
Backtesting Framework:
Automated terrain feature extraction
Correlation with future price reversals/breakouts
Monte Carlo simulation for significance testing
Expected Outcomes
If hypothesis valid:
Significant improvement in level prediction accuracy (p < 0.05)
Reduced latency in institutional level identification
Higher risk-reward ratios on terrain-confirmed trades
Research Questions:
Does terrain elevation reliably indicate institutional interest zones?
Are liquidity voids statistically significant momentum predictors?

Signal Analysis & Usage Guidelines
Buy Signal Mechanics
The buy signal triggers when:
Previous candle shows significant bearish movement (minimum ATR multiplier)
Current candle reclaims a configurable percentage of the previous candle's range
Price is near a key support level (order blocks, fibonacci, volume levels)
Sell Signal Mechanics
The sell signal triggers when:
Previous candle shows significant bullish movement (minimum ATR multiplier)
Current candle rejects below a configurable percentage of the previous candle's range
Price is near a key resistance level (order blocks, fibonacci, volume levels)
When to TAKE Signals
High Probability Buy Signals:
Signal appears AT or BELOW the VAL (Value Area Low)
Signal occurs at bullish order block confluence
Price is in LVN area below VAL (momentum acceleration zone)
Signal aligns with fibonacci 61.8% or 78.6% support
Multiple session POC levels provide support confluence
Previous session's VAL acting as current support
High Probability Sell Signals:
Signal appears AT or ABOVE the VAH (Value Area High)
Signal occurs at bearish order block confluence
Price is in HVN area above VAH (heavy resistance zone)
Signal aligns with fibonacci 61.8% or 78.6% resistance
Multiple session POC levels provide resistance confluence
Previous session's VAH acting as current resistance
When to AVOID Signals
Avoid Buy Signals When:
Signal appears ABOVE the VAH (buying into resistance)
Price is in HVN red zones (high volume resistance areas)
No clear support structure below current price
Volume profile shows heavy selling pressure (high bear percentages)
Signal occurs during low-volume periods between major sessions
Multiple bearish order blocks exist below current price
Avoid Sell Signals When:
Signal appears BELOW the VAL (selling into support)
Price is in LVN green zones (momentum could continue)
No clear resistance structure above current price
Volume profile shows heavy buying pressure (high bull percentages)
Signal occurs during Asian session ranges without clear direction
Multiple bullish order blocks exist above current price
Volume Profile Context for Signals
Understanding Bull/Bear Percentages:
70%+ Bull dominance at a level = Strong support expected
70%+ Bear dominance at a level = Strong resistance expected
50/50 Split = Neutral zone, less predictable
Use percentages to gauge conviction behind moves
POC (Point of Control) Interactions:
Signals above POC in uptrend = Higher probability
Signals below POC in downtrend = Higher probability
Signals against POC bias require extra confirmation
POC often acts as magnetic level for price return
Trading Strategies
Strategy 1: VAL/VAH Bounce Strategy
Wait for price to approach VAL (support) or VAH (resistance)
Look for signal confirmation at these critical levels
Enter with tight stops beyond the Value Area
Target opposite boundary or next session's levels
Strategy 2: Order Block + Volume Confluence
Identify order block alignment with VAL/VAH
Wait for signal within the confluence zone
Enter on signal with stop beyond order block
Use LVN areas as acceleration zones for targets
Strategy 3: LVN/HVN Strategy
LVN (Green) Areas: "Go Zones" - expect quick price movement through low volume
HVN (Red) Areas: "Stop Zones" - expect resistance and potential reversals
NPOC Areas: "Fill Zones" - price often returns to fill single print gaps
Strategy 4: Multi-Session Analysis
Use Daily/Weekly for major structure context
Use 4H for intermediate levels
Use 1H for precise entry timing
Ensure all timeframes align before taking signals
Strategy 5: Fibonacci + Volume Profile
Buy signals at 61.8% or 78.6% fibonacci near VAL
Sell signals at 61.8% or 78.6% fibonacci near VAH
Use 88.6% level as final support/resistance before major moves
50% level often aligns with POC for confluence
Signal Quality Assessment
Grade A Signals (Highest Probability):
Signal at VAL/VAH with order block confluence
Fibonacci level alignment (61.8%, 78.6%)
Volume profile shows 70%+ dominance in signal direction
Multiple timeframe structure alignment
Signal occurs during high-volume sessions (London/NY)
Grade B Signals (Moderate Probability):
Signal near POC with some confluence
Fibonacci 50% or 38.2% alignment
Mixed volume profile readings (50-70% dominance)
Some timeframe alignment present
Signal during overlap sessions
Grade C Signals (Lower Probability):
Signal with minimal confluence
Weak fibonacci alignment or none
Volume profile neutral or against signal
Conflicting timeframe signals
Signal during low-volume periods
Risk Management Guidelines
Position Sizing Based on Signal Quality:
Grade A: Standard position size
Grade B: Reduced position size (50-75%)
Grade C: Minimal position size (25%) or skip entirely
Stop Loss Placement:
Beyond order block boundaries
Outside Value Area (VAL/VAH)
Below/above fibonacci confluence levels
Account for session volatility ranges
Profit Targets:
First target: Opposite VAL/VAH boundary
Second target: Next session's key levels
Final target: Major order blocks or fibonacci extensions

Important Disclaimers
This indicator is a technical analysis tool designed for educational purposes. It does not provide financial advice, investment recommendations, or trading signals that guarantee profits. All trading involves substantial risk of loss, and past performance does not guarantee future results. Users should conduct their own research, understand the risks involved, and consider consulting with qualified financial advisors before making trading decisions. The signals and analysis provided are based on historical price patterns and volume data, which may not predict future market movements accurately.
Best Practices
Never trade signals blindly - always consider volume profile context
Wait for confluence between multiple tools before entering
Respect the Value Area - avoid buying above VAH or selling below VAL
Use session context - Asian ranges vs London/NY breakouts
Practice proper risk management - position size based on signal quality
Understand the bigger picture - use multiple timeframes for context
Remember: Like the IDKFA cheat code, having all the tools doesn't guarantee success. The key is learning to use them together effectively and understanding when NOT to take a signal is often more important than knowing when to take one.

FVG LevelsFVG Levels Indicator Description
The FVG Levels indicator dynamically identifies and displays key price zones that may represent fair value gaps and order block areas, helping traders to visually pinpoint potential support and resistance levels directly on the chart.
Key Features
Order Block Identification:
The indicator detects bullish and bearish order blocks by analyzing specific candle patterns. For bullish zones, it checks if a candle two bars ago was bullish (close greater than open) coupled with a subsequent gap condition. Similarly, bearish zones are identified when bearish candle conditions are met with an appropriate gap.
Dynamic Zone Calculation:
It computes critical levels such as the highest highs, lowest lows, highest lows, and lowest highs over a series of recent bars. These levels define the boundaries of potential buy and sell zones and adjust dynamically as new price data comes in.
Visual Representation:
Buy zones are plotted in lime and sell zones in yellow, with the indicator filling the areas between the high and low lines to create clear, shaded bands. This visual aid helps in quickly recognizing zones of potential price reaction.
Chart Overlay:
Designed to work as an overlay, the indicator integrates directly onto your price chart, allowing for seamless correlation between price action and identified zones.
How It Works
Bullish Zones:
When a bullish candle (with the candle's close above its open) is detected along with a significant gap, the indicator marks the upper and lower boundaries of the bullish order block. It further refines these levels by tracking the lowest low and highest high over recent bars to enhance the zone's definition.
Bearish Zones:
In a similar manner, the indicator calculates bearish order blocks by confirming bearish candle conditions and corresponding gap criteria. It then updates the bearish zone levels and computes the highest high and lowest low to establish clear sell zone boundaries.
Usage
Traders can use the FVG Levels indicator to:
Identify potential entry and exit points by observing where price may reverse or consolidate.
Recognize fair value gaps or imbalances that often act as magnet points for price action.
Enhance risk management by using the dynamically calculated zones to set stop-losses or take-profits.

OrderBlock [kyleAlgo]The principle of this indicator
ATR (Average True Range) Setting: The code uses ATR to help calculate the Supertrend indicator.
Supertrend Trend Direction: Identify bullish and bearish trends with the Supertrend method.
Order Block Recognition: This part of the code recognizes and creates order blocks, visualizing them as boxes on the chart. If the number of blocks exceeds the maximum limit, old blocks will be deleted.
Function to prevent overlapping: check whether the new order block overlaps with the existing order block through the isOverlapping function.
Order block color setting: The code sets the color according to whether the block is bullish or bearish, and whether it breaks above or below. Afterwards the color of the existing order blocks will be updated.
Sensitivity settings: Through the input settings of factor and atrPeriod, the sensitivity of Supertrend and the detection of order blocks can be affected.
Visualization: Use TradingView's box.new function to draw and visualize order blocks on the chart.
Practicality:
Support and Resistance Levels: Order blocks may represent areas of support and resistance in the market. By visualizing these areas, traders can better understand when price reversals are likely to occur.
Trading Signals: Traders may be able to identify trading signals based on the color changes of blocks and price breakouts. For example, if the price breaks above a bullish block, this could be a signal to buy.
Risk Management: By using ATR to adjust the sensitivity of Supertrend, the symbol helps traders to adjust their strategies according to market volatility. This can be used as a risk management tool to help identify stop loss and take profit points.
Multi-timeframe analysis: Although the code itself does not implement multi-timeframe analysis directly, it can be done by applying this indicator on different timeframes. This helps to analyze the market from different angles.
Flexibility and Customization: Through sensitivity settings, traders can customize the indicator according to their needs and trading style.
Reduced screen clutter: By removing overlapping order blocks and limiting the maximum number of order blocks, this code helps reduce clutter on charts, allowing traders to analyze the market more clearly.
Overall, this "Pine Script" can be a powerful analytical tool for trend traders and those looking to improve their trading decisions by visualizing key market areas. It can be used alone or combined with other indicators and trading systems for enhanced functionality.

MirPapa:ICT:HTF: FVG OB Threeple# MirPapa:ICT:HTF: FVG OB (Fair Value Gap Order Block)
**Version:** Pine Script® v6
**Author:** © goodia
**License:** MPL-2.0 (Mozilla Public License 2.0)
---
## Overview
“FVG OB” (Fair Value Gap Order Block) identifies higher-timeframe candle ranges where a gap (imbalance) exists between two non-consecutive candles, signaling potential institutional order blocks. This module draws bullish or bearish FVG OB boxes on your lower-timeframe chart, extends them until price interacts a specified number of times, and then finalizes (recolors) the box.
---
## Inputs
- **Enable FVG OB Boxes** (`bool`)
Toggle drawing of HTF FVG OB boxes on the chart.
- **Enable FVG OB Midlines** (`bool`)
Toggle drawing of a midpoint line inside each FVG OB box.
- **FVG OB Close Count** (`int` 1–10)
Number of HTF closes beyond the FVG range required to finalize (recolor) the box.
- **FVG OB Bull Color** (`color`)
Fill & border color for bullish FVG OB boxes.
- **FVG OB Bear Color** (`color`)
Fill & border color for bearish FVG OB boxes.
- **FVG OB Box Transparency** (`int` 1–100)
Opacity level for FVG OB box fills (higher = more transparent).
---
## How It Works
1. **HTF Data Retrieval**
- The script uses `request.security()` (via `GetHTFrevised()`) to fetch HTF OHLC and historical values:
- `_htfHigh3` (high three bars ago) and `_htfLow1` (low one bar ago) for bullish FVG OB.
- `_htfLow3` (low three bars ago) and `_htfHigh1` (high one bar ago) for bearish FVG OB.
- It also tracks the HTF `bar_index` on the lower timeframe to align drawing.
2. **FVG OB Detection**
- **Bullish FVG OB**: Occurs when the HTF low of the previous bar (`low `) is strictly above the HTF high of three bars ago (`high `), creating a gap.
- **Bearish FVG OB**: Occurs when the HTF high of the previous bar (`high `) is strictly below the HTF low of three bars ago (`low `), creating a gap.
3. **Box Creation**
- On each new HTF bar (`ta.change(time(HTF)) != 0`), if a bullish or bearish FVG OB condition is met, the script calls `CreateBoxData()` with:
- **Bullish**: `bottom = HTF low `, `top = HTF high `, `_isBull = true`.
- **Bearish**: `bottom = HTF low `, `top = HTF high `, `_isBull = false`.
- Midline toggled by input.
- A `BoxData` struct is created and stored in either the Bull or Bear array.
4. **Box Extension & Finalization**
- On **every LTF bar**, `ProcessBoxDatas(...)` iterates over all active FVG OB boxes:
1. **Extend Right Edge**: `box.set_right(bar_index)` ensures the box follows the latest bar.
2. **Record Volume Delta**: Tracks buy/sell volume inside the box.
3. **Touch Stage Update**: `modBoxUpdateStage()` increments `_stage` when price touches its “basePoint” (for FVG OB, the basePrice is one side of the gap).
4. **Finalize**: `setBoxFinalize()` checks if the configured number of closes beyond the FVG gap (`FVG OB Close Count`) has occurred. If so:
- `_isActive := false`
- Border and background colors are changed to the “Box Close Color” (input).
- Finalized boxes remain on screen semi-transparent, indicating that the FVG OB zone has been tested.
5. **Midline (Optional)**
- If “Enable FVG OB Midlines” is checked, `ProcessBoxDatas()` also extends a horizontal midpoint line inside the box with `line.set_x2(bar_index)`.
---
## Usage Instructions

16. SMC Strategy with SL - low TimeframeOverview
The "SMC Strategy with SL - low Timeframe" is a comprehensive trading strategy that uses key concepts from Smart Money Theory to identify favorable areas in the market for buying or selling. This strategy takes advantage of price imbalances, support and resistance zones, and swing highs/lows to generate high-probability trade signals.
The key features of this strategy include:
Swing High/Low Analysis: Used to determine the Premium, Equilibrium, and Discount Zones.
Order Block Integration: An added layer of confluence to identify valid buy and sell signals.
Trend Direction Confirmation: Using a Simple Moving Average (SMA) to determine the overall trend.
Entry and Exit Rules: Based on price position relative to key zones and moving average, along with optional stop-loss and take-profit levels.
Detailed Description
Swing High and Swing Low Analysis
The script calculates Swing High and Swing Low based on the most recent price highs and lows over a specified look-back period (swingHighLength and swingLowLength, set to 8 by default).
It then derives the Premium, Equilibrium, and Discount Zones:
Premium Zone: Represents potential resistance, calculated based on recent swing highs.
Discount Zone: Represents potential support, calculated based on recent swing lows.
Equilibrium: The midpoint between Swing High and Swing Low, dividing the price range into Premium (above equilibrium) and Discount (below equilibrium) areas.
Zone Visualization
The strategy plots the Premium Zone (resistance) in red, the Discount Zone (support) in green, and the Equilibrium level in blue on the chart. This helps visually assess the current price relative to these important areas.
Simple Moving Average (SMA)
A 50-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) is added to help identify the trend direction.
Buy signals are valid only if the price is above the SMA, indicating an uptrend.
Sell signals are valid only if the price is below the SMA, indicating a downtrend.
Entry Rules
The script generates buy or sell signals when certain conditions are met:
A buy signal is triggered when:
Price is below the Equilibrium and within the Discount Zone.
Price is above the SMA.
The buy signal is further confirmed by the presence of an Order Block (recent lowest price area).
A sell signal is triggered when:
Price is above the Equilibrium and within the Premium Zone.
Price is below the SMA.
The sell signal is further confirmed by the presence of an Order Block (recent highest price area).
Order Block
The strategy defines Order Blocks as recent highs and lows within a look-back period (orderBlockLength set to 20 by default).
These blocks represent areas where large players (smart money) have historically been active, increasing the probability of the price reacting in these areas again.
Trade Management and Trade Direction
The user can set Trade Direction to either "Long Only," "Short Only," or "Both." This allows the strategy to adapt based on market conditions or trading preferences.
Based on the Trade Direction, the strategy either:
Closes open trades that are against new signals.
Allows only specific directional trades (either long or short).
Stop-loss levels are defined based on a fixed percentage (stop_loss_percent), which helps to manage risk and minimize losses.
Exit Rules
The strategy uses stop-loss levels for risk management.
A stop-loss price is set at a fixed percentage below the entry price for long positions or above the entry price for short positions.
When the price hits the defined stop-loss level, the trade is closed.
Liquidity Zones
The script identifies recent Swing Highs and Lows as potential liquidity zones. These are levels where price could react strongly, as they represent areas of interest for large traders.
The liquidity zones are plotted as crosses on the chart, marking areas where price may encounter significant buying or selling pressure.
Visual Feedback
The script uses visual markers (green for buy signals and red for sell signals) to indicate potential entries on the chart.
It also plots liquidity zones to help traders identify areas where stop hunts and liquidity grabs might occur.
Monthly Performance Dashboard
The script includes a performance tracking feature that displays monthly profit and loss metrics on the chart.
This dashboard allows the trader to see a visual representation of trading performance over time, providing insights into profitability and consistency.
The table shows profit or loss for each month and year, allowing the user to track the overall success of the strategy.
Key Benefits
Smart Money Concepts (SMC): This strategy incorporates SMC principles like order blocks and liquidity zones, which are used by institutional traders to determine potential market moves.
Zone Analysis: The use of Premium, Discount, and Equilibrium zones provides a solid framework for determining where to enter and exit trades based on price discounts or premiums.
Confluence: Signals are not taken in isolation. They are confirmed by factors like trend direction (SMA) and order blocks, providing greater trade accuracy.
Risk Management: By integrating stop-loss functionality, traders can manage their risks effectively.
Visual Performance Metrics: The monthly and yearly performance dashboard gives valuable feedback on how well the strategy has performed historically.
Practical Use
Buy in Discount Zone: Traders would be looking to buy when the price is discounted relative to its recent range and is above the SMA, indicating an overall uptrend.
Sell in Premium Zone: Conversely, traders would be looking to sell when the price is at a premium relative to its recent range and below the SMA, indicating an overall downtrend.
Order Block Confirmation: Ensures that buying or selling is supported by historical price behavior at significant levels, providing confidence that the market is likely to react at these areas.
This strategy is designed to help traders take advantage of price inefficiencies and areas where institutional traders are likely to be active, increasing the odds of successful trades. By leveraging Smart Money concepts and strong technical confluence, it aims to provide high-probability trade setups.
[JL] Fractals ATR BlockI decided to combine Fractal ROC , ATR Break, and Order Blocks to an Indicator
The Fractal ROC , ATR Break, and Order Blocks indicator combines three concepts to help traders identify potential trade opportunities and manage risk. By using a combination of Fractal ROC , ATR Break, and Order Blocks, traders can gain a deeper understanding of market dynamics and make more informed trading decisions.
Fractal ROC is a momentum-based indicator that calculates the rate of change of the price between fractals, which are turning points in the market. It is calculated by taking the difference between the closing price and the lowest price in the previous n+1 periods, and dividing it by the difference between the open price 2n periods ago and the lowest price in the previous n+1 periods. This calculation is done for both up and down fractals. When the Fractal ROC value is greater than the ROC Break Level (as determined by the input variable roclevel), it indicates a potential momentum shift in the market. This can be used to identify potential trade entries or exits, depending on your trading strategy.
ATR Break is an indicator that helps traders identify significant price movements in the market. It measures the distance between the price and the Average True Range (ATR), which is a measure of the volatility of the market. ATR Break is calculated by taking the difference between the close and high/low, and dividing it by the previous ATR value. This calculation is done for both up and down movements. When the ATR Break value is greater than the ATR Break Level (as determined by the input variable atrlevel), it indicates a significant move in the market. This can be used to identify potential breakouts or breakdowns, and can be used to set stop-loss and take-profit levels.
An Order Block is a price level where significant buying or selling activity has taken place. The order blocks made by ATR Break and Fractal ROC are drawn using boxes on the chart. When the ATR or Fractal ROC level is breached, a box is drawn with the high and low of the candle that breached the level as the top and bottom of the box, respectively. The box is then extended to the right until the end of the chart or until another ATR or Fractal ROC level is breached, at which point a new box is drawn. This allows traders to easily identify significant price movements and potential support and resistance levels on the chart. When an Order Block is identified, it can be used as a potential support or resistance level . If price approaches an Order Block from below, it is likely to bounce off this level and continue in an upward direction. Similarly, if price approaches an Order Block from above, it is likely to bounce off this level and continue in a downward direction. Traders can use these levels to identify potential trade entries or exits, as well as to set stop-loss and take-profit levels.
Overall, the Fractal ROC , ATR Break, and Order Blocks indicator is a powerful tool for traders who want to identify potential trade opportunities and manage risk. By combining these three concepts, traders can gain a deeper understanding of market dynamics and make more informed trading decisions. As with any indicator, it is important to use it in conjunction with other analysis tools and to have a clear trading plan in place.

Timeframe Detection: You can select detection across Short Term, Intermediate Term, or Long Term swings to match your trading horizon.
Visualization: Plots colored lines (Bullish: Teal, Bearish: Red) to mark the structures and optional text labels (BOS/MSS) for clear identification.
2. Order & Breaker Blocks (OB/BB)
Purpose: Detects and projects potential Supply and Demand zones based on recent price action that led to a swing high or low.
Block Types: Distinguishes between standard Order Blocks and Breaker Blocks (OBs that fail to hold and are traded through, often serving as support/resistance in the opposite direction).
Customization:
Detection Term: Adjusts sensitivity (Short, Intermediate, Long Term).
Display Limit: Sets the maximum number of recent Bullish and Bearish blocks to display.
Price Reference: Option to use the Candle Body (Open/Close) or Candle Wicks (High/Low) to define the block boundaries.
Visualization: Displays blocks as colored boxes (Bullish: Green, Bearish: Red) extending into the future, with a dotted line marking the 50% equilibrium level. Breaker Blocks are indicated by a change in color/line style upon being broken.
3. Buyside & Sellside Liquidity (BSL/SSL)
Purpose: Highlights areas where retail stops/limit orders are likely clustered, often represented by a series of relatively equal highs (Buyside Liquidity) or lows (Sellside Liquidity).
Detection Term: Adjustable sensitivity (Short, Intermediate, Long Term).
Margin: Uses a margin (derived from ATR) to group similar swing points into a single liquidity zone.
Visualization: Plots a line and text label marking the swing point, and a box indicating the clustered liquidity zone.
4. Liquidity Voids (LV) / Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
Purpose: Identifies areas where price moved sharply and inefficiency was created, often referred to as Fair Value Gaps or Imbalances. These are price ranges where minimal trading volume occurred.
Threshold: Uses a multiplier applied to the 200-period ATR to filter for significant gaps.
Mode: Can be set to Present (only show voids near the current price) or Historical (show all detected voids).
Visualization: Fills the price gap with colored boxes (Bullish/Bearish zones), often segmented to represent the price delivery across the gap.
5. Enhanced Liquidity Detection
Purpose: A complementary feature that uses volume and price action to highlight areas of high liquidity turnover, potentially indicating stronger Support and Resistance zones.
Calculation: Utilizes a volume-weighted approach to color-grade liquidity zones based on their significance.
Visualization: Plots shaded boxes (gradient-colored) around swing highs/lows, with text displaying the normalized volume strength.
6. Swing Highs/Lows
Purpose: Directly marks the price points identified as Swing Highs and Swing Lows based on the lookback periods.
Timeframe Detection: Can be enabled for Short Term, Intermediate Term, or Long Term swings.
Visualization: Plots a small colored dot/label (e.g., "⦁") at the swing point.
This indicator is an invaluable tool for traders employing ICT (Inner Circle Trader), Smart Money Concepts (SMC), or general price action strategies, as it automatically aggregates and displays these critical structural and liquidity elements.

Enhanced London Session SMC SetupEnhanced London Session SMC Setup Indicator
This Pine Script-based indicator is designed for traders focusing on the London trading session, leveraging smart money concepts (SMC) to identify potential trading opportunities in the GBP/USD currency pair. The script uses multiple techniques such as Order Block Detection, Imbalance (Fair Value Gap) Analysis, Change of Character (CHoCH) detection, and Fibonacci retracement levels to aid in market structure analysis, providing a well-rounded approach to trade setups.
Features:
London Session Highlight:
The indicator visually marks the London trading session (from 08:00 AM to 04:00 PM UTC) on the chart using a blue background, signaling when the high-volume, high-impulse moves tend to occur, helping traders focus their analysis on this key session.
Order Block Detection:
Identifies significant impulse moves that may form order blocks (supply and demand zones). Order blocks are areas where institutions have executed large orders, often leading to price reversals or continuation. The indicator plots the high and low of these order blocks, providing key levels to monitor for potential entries.
Imbalance (Fair Value Gap) Detection:
Detects and highlights price imbalances or fair value gaps (FVG) where the market has moved too quickly, creating a gap in price action. These areas are often revisited by price, offering potential trade opportunities. The upper and lower bounds of the imbalance are visually marked for easy reference.
Change of Character (CHoCH) Detection:
This feature identifies potential trend reversals by detecting significant changes in market character. When the price action shifts from bullish to bearish or vice versa, a CHoCH signal is triggered, and the corresponding level is marked on the chart. This can help traders catch trend reversals at key levels.
Fibonacci Retracement Levels:
The script calculates and plots the key Fibonacci retracement levels (0.618 and 0.786 by default) based on the highest and lowest points over a user-defined swing lookback period. These levels are commonly used by traders to identify potential pullback zones where price may reverse or find support/resistance.
Directional Bias Based on Market Structure:
The indicator provides a market structure analysis by comparing the current highs and lows to the previous periods' highs and lows. This helps in identifying whether the market is in a bullish or bearish state, providing a clear directional bias for trade setups.
Alerts:
The indicator comes with built-in alert conditions to notify the trader when an order block, imbalance, CHoCH, or other significant price action event is detected, ensuring timely action can be taken.
Ideal Usage:
Timeframe: Suitable for intraday trading, particularly focusing on the London session (08:00 AM to 04:00 PM UTC).
Currency Pair: Specifically designed for GBP/USD but can be adapted to other pairs with similar market behavior.
Trading Strategy: Best used in conjunction with a price action strategy, focusing on the key levels identified (order blocks, FVG, CHoCH) and using Fibonacci retracement levels for precision entries.
Target Audience: Ideal for traders who follow smart money concepts (SMC) and are looking for a structured approach to identify high-probability setups during the London session.

## FULL DESCRIPTION:
### 📊 OVERVIEW
This indicator combines three powerful trading methodologies into a unified system:
- **Elliott Wave Theory** - Automated detection of Wave 1-2 impulse patterns
- **Smart Money Concepts (SMC)** - Order Blocks and Fair Value Gaps for institutional confirmation
- **Elliott Wave Oscillator (EWO)** - Momentum-based signal validation
The core concept is to identify high-probability Wave 3 entries by detecting completed Wave 1-2 structures and validating them with SMC and momentum indicators.
---
### 🔧 HOW IT WORKS
**1. Pattern Detection (ZigZag Method)**
- Uses pivot high/low detection to identify swing points
- Validates Wave 2 retracement using Fibonacci ratios (default: 38.2% - 88.6%)
- Requires minimum wave size to filter noise
- Applies confirmation bars to avoid premature signals
**2. Wave Projections**
- Wave 3 target: Fibonacci extension of Wave 1 (default: 1.618)
- Wave 4 retracement: Percentage of Wave 3 (default: 38.2%)
- Wave 5 projection: Extension of Wave 1 from Wave 4
**3. Smart Money Validation**
- **Order Blocks**: Identifies last opposing candle before breakout (institutional footprint)
- **Fair Value Gaps**: Detects price imbalances for potential support/resistance
**4. EWO Confirmation**
- Calculates momentum: (EMA5 / EMA34 - 1) × 100
- Signal line crossovers confirm trend direction
- Strong signals occur at extremes (< -13 or > 13 threshold)
**5. Confluence Scoring (0-100%)**
Points awarded for:
- Fibonacci quality of Wave 2 retracement (10-30 pts)
- Order Block presence (15 pts)
- Fair Value Gap presence (10 pts)
- Volume confirmation (10-15 pts)
- Trend alignment with EMA50 (10 pts)

DM Price ActionHere’s a tight, rules-based playbook for trading with your DM Price Action (FVG + S/R + Order Blocks + VWAP + Auto PDH/PDL/PMH/PML). It’s educational, not financial advice—tune to your market & risk.
Core ideas (what each tool does for you)
VWAP → intraday trend/mean.
PDH/PDL → yesterday’s extremes; magnet & reversal/continuation levels.
PMH/PML → premarket extremes; first liquidity tests after the open.
FVG → imbalance zones for continuation entries.
Order Blocks (OBs) → origin of impulses; mitigation/breaks = structure shifts.
S/R → target rails and break alerts.
Setups (long/short mirror)
1) Bias + Pullback (FVG/OB) at Key Level
Bias (need 2+ conditions):
Price above VWAP (bulls) / below VWAP (bears)
Price above PDH/PMH (bulls) or below PDL/PML (bears)
Most recent Swing OB bias in your direction (script updates via crosses)
Entry (bullish example):
Wait for a Bullish FVG to form after we reclaim PMH or PDH.
Prefer FVG overlapping a Bullish OB or sitting just above Support.
Enter on retrace into FVG midline or first bullish reversal candle inside.
Stop: a few ticks below OB low (or FVG bottom, whichever is wider).
Targets:
T1: nearest Resistance or PDH/PMH if not yet tested.
T2: next HTF S/R or fixed 2R–3R.
Manage: to BE at 1R, trail under swing lows or VWAP on trend days.
Bearish mirror: below VWAP, below PDL/PML, Bearish FVG into Bearish OB / Resistance; stop above OB high.
2) Range Break & Retest at PDH/PDL (with OB confirmation)
Context: Price consolidates under PDH (or over PDL).
Trigger: Clean break of PDH/PDL with an OB breakout alert in the break direction.
Entry: On retest of PDH/PDL from the other side, look for a small FVG forming with the move → enter on the pullback.
Stop: beyond the retest wick or the OB edge.
Targets: next S/R, opposing day extreme (e.g., from PDH to PMH/HTF level) or 2R/3R.
3) Premarket Sweep Reversal (open-specific)
Setup: At/near the cash open, price sweeps PMH/PML (wick through) but closes back inside, then a counter-direction OB forms.
Entry: On first FVG in the reversal direction that overlaps that new OB.
Stop: beyond the sweep extreme (PMH/PML).
Targets: VWAP first, then PD midline levels/SR.
Confluence checklist (score ≥3 before clicking)
+1 Above/below VWAP in trade direction
+1 Trading from a PDH/PDL/PMH/PML reaction (reclaim or rejection)
+1 FVG overlaps an OB
+1 Entry at S/R (use the script’s lines)
+1 Fresh zone (recently formed OB/FVG)
+1 Higher-TF structure aligned (e.g., 1H trend)
Take the trade only if score ≥3; size up only at ≥4.
Execution framework (simple & repeatable)
Timeframes: 1H (bias) → 5–15m (execution).
Risk per trade: 0.25–1.0% of account (fixed).
Position size: Size = Risk $ / Stop distance.
Management:
Scale ½ at T1 (nearest SR/PD level), move stop to BE at 1R.
Let runner to T2 (2R–3R) or next PD level.
If VWAP flips against you and closes 2 bars opposite, exit remainder.
Using the inputs (what to tweak)
Order Blocks:
Scalping mode for intraday speed; Day Trade for cleaner swings.
Hide Internal OBs if noise is high; keep Swing OBs for structure.
FVG:
Keep Auto Threshold = ON.
If noisy, plot higher TF FVG (e.g., 15m FVG on 5m chart).
PDH/PDL/PMH/PML:
If chart is cluttered, keep “Show lines only on last bar” ON and labels ON.
Session markets (futures/US equities): use default 0400–0930 premarket; FX/crypto can disable PM lines if irrelevant.
Alerts to set (so you only act on confluence)
Create alerts for:
Bullish/Bearish FVG (execution zones)
Swing/Internal OB Breakout (structure shift)
Support/Resistance Broken (targets/continuation)
(Optional) Crossing PDH/PDL: use TV “Price crossing” with the plotted PDH/PDL values or visually monitor the labels
Workflow: Wait for ≥2 alerts to line up (e.g., Swing OB Breakout + Bullish FVG near PDH), then open the chart and execute the rule set.
Example trade (bullish)
Price reclaims PDH, holds above VWAP.
Bullish FVG prints overlapping a Bullish Internal OB just above PDH.
Limit at FVG midline, stop below OB low.
T1 = next Resistance; T2 = 2R. Move to BE at 1R; trail under new swing lows.
ICT SMC Custom — BOS/MSS + OB + FVGWant me to fill that box? Here’s a ready‑to‑paste description for your publish screen:
⸻
ICT SMC Custom — BOS/MSS + OB + FVG (Crypto‑friendly)
A clean Smart Money Concepts tool that marks Break of Structure (BOS), Market Structure Shift (MSS), Order Blocks (OB), and Fair Value Gaps (FVG) with bold, easy‑to‑see visuals. Built for crypto but works on any market and timeframe.
What it does
• BOS & MSS detection with optional body/wick logic
• Order Blocks: auto‑draws the last opposite candle before a BOS, keeps only the most recent N, and fades when mitigated
• FVGs: 3‑candle gaps with a minimum size filter and a cap on how many to keep
• HTF Swings (optional): plots higher‑timeframe pivot highs/lows for top‑down context
• Alerts for BOS/MSS and FVG formation
Inputs
• Swing pivot length (default 3): sensitivity for structure pivots
• Use candle bodies for breaks: close vs level (on) or wicks (off)
• Show BOS/MSS labels, Show FVG, Show Order Blocks
• Min FVG size (ticks) and Max boxes to keep for FVG/OB
• OB uses candle body: body range vs full wick range
• Show higher timeframe swings + HTF timeframe
• Bullish/Bearish colors
How it works
• BOS triggers when price breaks the last opposite swing.
• MSS flags when the break flips the prior bias.
• OB is the most recent opposite candle prior to BOS; it’s marked and later greyed out once price closes through it (mitigation).
• FVG is detected when candle 1’s high < candle 3’s low (bear) or candle 1’s low > candle 3’s high (bull).
Alerts included
• BOS Up / BOS Down
• MSS Up / MSS Down
• FVG Up / FVG Down
Tips
• Start on 15m/1h for crypto, pivot length 3–5.
• Turn Use candle bodies ON for stricter confirmations, OFF for more signals.
• If boxes look cluttered, lower “Max boxes to keep.”
Note: This is a visual/educational tool, not financial advice. Always confirm with your own plan and risk management.
ICT Setup 03 [TradingFinder] Judas Swing NY 9:30am + CHoCH/FVG🔵 Introduction
Judas Swing is an advanced trading setup designed to identify false price movements early in the trading day. This advanced trading strategy operates on the principle that major market players, or "smart money," drive price in a certain direction during the early hours to mislead smaller traders.
This deceptive movement attracts liquidity at specific levels, allowing larger players to execute primary trades in the opposite direction, ultimately causing the price to return to its true path.
The Judas Swing setup functions within two primary time frames, tailored separately for Forex and Stock markets. In the Forex market, the setup uses the 8:15 to 8:30 AM window to identify the high and low points, followed by the 8:30 to 8:45 AM frame to execute the Judas move and identify the CISD Level break, where Order Block and Fair Value Gap (FVG) zones are subsequently detected.
In the Stock market, these time frames shift to 9:15 to 9:30 AM for identifying highs and lows and 9:30 to 9:45 AM for executing the Judas move and CISD Level break.
Concepts such as Order Block and Fair Value Gap (FVG) are crucial in this setup. An Order Block represents a chart region with a high volume of buy or sell orders placed by major financial institutions, marking significant levels where price reacts.
Fair Value Gap (FVG) refers to areas where price has moved rapidly without balance between supply and demand, highlighting zones of potential price action and future liquidity.
Bullish Setup :
Bearish Setup :
🔵 How to Use
The Judas Swing setup enables traders to pinpoint entry and exit points by utilizing Order Block and FVG concepts, helping them align with liquidity-driven moves orchestrated by smart money. This setup applies two distinct time frames for Forex and Stocks to capture early deceptive movements, offering traders optimized entry or exit moments.
🟣 Bullish Setup
In the Bullish Judas Swing setup, the first step is to identify High and Low points within the initial time frame. These levels serve as key points where price may react, forming the basis for analyzing the setup and assisting traders in anticipating future market shifts.
In the second time frame, a critical stage of the bullish setup begins. During this phase, the price may create a false break or Fake Break below the low level, a deceptive move by major players to absorb liquidity. This false move often causes smaller traders to enter positions incorrectly. After this fake-out, the price reverses upward, breaking the CISD Level, a critical point in the market structure, signaling a potential bullish trend.
Upon breaking the CISD Level and reversing upward, the indicator identifies both the Order Block and Fair Value Gap (FVG). The Order Block is an area where major players typically place large buy orders, signaling potential price support. Meanwhile, the FVG marks a region of supply-demand imbalance, signaling areas where price might react.
Ultimately, after these key zones are identified, a trader may open a buy position if the price reaches one of these critical areas—Order Block or FVG—and reacts positively. Trading at these levels enhances the chance of success due to liquidity absorption and support from smart money, marking an opportune time for entering a long position.
🟣 Bearish Setup
In the Bearish Judas Swing setup, analysis begins with marking the High and Low levels in the initial time frame. These levels serve as key zones where price could react, helping to signal possible trend reversals. Identifying these levels is essential for locating significant bearish zones and positioning traders to capitalize on downward movements.
In the second time frame, the primary bearish setup unfolds. During this stage, price may exhibit a Fake Break above the high, causing a brief move upward and misleading smaller traders into incorrect positions. After this false move, the price typically returns downward, breaking the CISD Level—a crucial bearish trend indicator.
With the CISD Level broken and a bearish trend confirmed, the indicator identifies the Order Block and Fair Value Gap (FVG). The Bearish Order Block is a region where smart money places significant sell orders, prompting a negative price reaction. The FVG denotes an area of supply-demand imbalance, signifying potential selling pressure.
When the price reaches one of these critical areas—the Bearish Order Block or FVG—and reacts downward, a trader may initiate a sell position. Entering trades at these levels, due to increased selling pressure and liquidity absorption, offers traders an advantage in profiting from price declines.
🔵 Settings
Market : The indicator allows users to choose between Forex and Stocks, automatically adjusting the time frames for the "Opening Range" and "Trading Permit" accordingly: Forex: 8:15–8:30 AM for identifying High and Low points, and 8:30–8:45 AM for capturing the Judas move and CISD Level break. Stocks: 9:15–9:30 AM for identifying High and Low points, and 9:30–9:45 AM for executing the Judas move and CISD Level break.
Refine Order Block : Enables finer adjustments to Order Block levels for more accurate price responses.
Mitigation Level OB : Allows users to set specific reaction points within an Order Block, including: Proximal: Closest level to the current price. 50% OB: Midpoint of the Order Block. Distal: Farthest level from the current price.
FVG Filter : The Judas Swing indicator includes a filter for Fair Value Gap (FVG), allowing different filtering based on FVG width: FVG Filter Type: Can be set to "Very Aggressive," "Aggressive," "Defensive," or "Very Defensive." Higher defensiveness narrows the FVG width, focusing on narrower gaps.
Mitigation Level FVG : Like the Order Block, you can set price reaction levels for FVG with options such as Proximal, 50% OB, and Distal.
CISD : The Bar Back Check option enables traders to specify the number of past candles checked for identifying the CISD Level, enhancing CISD Level accuracy on the chart.
🔵 Conclusion
The Judas Swing indicator helps traders spot reliable trading opportunities by detecting false price movements and key levels such as Order Block and FVG. With a focus on early market movements, this tool allows traders to align with major market participants, selecting entry and exit points with greater precision, thereby reducing trading risks.
Its extensive customization options enable adjustments for various market types and trading conditions, giving traders the flexibility to optimize their strategies. Based on ICT techniques and liquidity analysis, this indicator can be highly effective for those seeking precision in their entry points.
