Inversion Fair Value Gaps | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new Inversion Fair Value Gaps (IFVG) indicator! Inversion Fair Value Gaps occur when a Fair Value Gap becomes invalidated. They reverse the role of the original Fair Value Gap, making a bullish zone bearish and vice versa. With this indicator, you can now see the volume of the bar that invalidated the FVG, which is also the bar that IFVG occurred. For more information about the process, read the " HOW DOES IT WORK " section of the description.
Features of the IFVG Indicator :
Render Bullish / Bearish IFVG Zones
See The Occurrence Volume Of The IFVG Zones
Combination Of Overlapping FVG Zones
Variety Of Zone Detection / Sensitivity / Filtering / Invalidation Settings
High Customizability
🚩UNIQUENESS
This indicator stands out with its ability to render the occurrence volume of IFVGs. Also the ability to combine overlapping FVG zones will result in cleaner charts for traders. You can customize the FVG Filtering method, FVG & IFVG Zone Invalidation, Detection Sensitivity etc. according to your strategy to get the best performance from the indicator.
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
A Fair Value Gap generally occur when there is an imbalance in the market. They can be detected by specific formations within the chart. An Inversion Fair Value Gap is when a FVG becomes invalidated, thus reversing the direction of the FVG.
⚙️SETTINGS
1. General Configuration
FVG Zone Invalidation -> Select between Wick & Close price for FVG Zone Invalidation.
IFVG Zone Invalidation -> Select between Wick & Close price for IFVG Zone Invalidation.
Zone Filtering -> With "Average Range" selected, algorithm will find FVG zones in comparison with average range of last bars in the chart. With the "Volume Threshold" option, you may select a Volume Threshold % to spot FVGs with a larger total volume than average.
FVG Detection -> With the "Same Type" option, all 3 bars that formed the FVG should be the same type. (Bullish / Bearish). If the "All" option is selected, bar types may vary between Bullish / Bearish.
Detection Sensitivity -> You may select between Low, Normal or High 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.
Show Historic Zones -> If this option is on, the indicator will render invalidated IFVG zones as well as current IFVG zones. For a cleaner look at current IFVG zones which are not invalidated yet, you can turn this option off.

ICT Unicorn Model [LuxAlgo]The ICT Unicorn Model indicator highlights the presence of "unicorn" patterns on the user's chart which is derived from the lectures of "The Inner Circle Trader" (ICT) .
Detected patterns are followed by targets with a distance controlled by the user.
🔶 USAGE
At its core, the ICT Unicorn Model relies on two popular concepts, Fair Value Gaps and Breaker Blocks. This combination highlights a future area of support/resistance.
A Bullish Unicorn Pattern consists out of:
A Lower Low (LL), followed by a Higher High (HH)
A Fair Value Gap (FVG), overlapping the established Breaker Block
A successful re-test of the FVG which confirms the pattern.
A Bearish Unicorn Pattern consists of:
A Higher High (HH), followed by a Lower Low (LL)
A Fair Value Gap (FVG), overlapping the established Breaker Block
A successful re-test of the FVG which confirms the pattern
The pattern detection depends on detected swings, which can be controlled by the Swing setting. Using higher values of this setting will return longer-term breaker blocks.
🔹 Using Risk/Reward Targets
A confirmed Unicorn pattern will show a blue ( Target ) / grey ( Stop Loss) "Risk/Reward" areas (RR).
When the Stop Loss or Target is hit, a white line is shown on the concerned side.
The Risk/Reward ratio can be adjusted in the "Targets" settings.
🔹 Trailing Stop
As seen in the previous snapshots, besides the RR areas, this indicator also includes an optional Trailing Stop .
This can be helpful to lower your risk, by exiting earlier than if you would wait until the Stop Loss is hit.
This example shows a successful bullish and bearish Unicorn Pattern . In this scenario, the Trailing Stop could be used for partial Take Profit.
The goal of this publication is to show confirmed Unicorn Patterns . To increase the chance of success, it is important to evaluate the bigger picture & use this in confluence with your price action analysis. For example, look for potential areas of liquidity, consider this pattern only during certain market sessions, avoid trading during heavy impact news, &/or incorporate other aspects of technical analysis rather than just following this pattern blindly.
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Combine
When disabled, all potential Unicorn Patterns will delete previous unconfirmed patterns:
Enabling Combine ensures the last Unicorn Patterns in the opposite direction will remain.
While the latter bullish pattern became invalid, another one formed.
The combination of the previous bearish pattern, and looking at the big picture, the bullish pattern did not have much chance to be successful.
While disabling 'combine' helps minimize clutter, enabling this feature can give a pattern more chance to hit the SL/Target level.
🔹 Mitigated FVG
Users can determine if a pattern becomes invalid due to a mitigated FVG, causing the pattern to be deleted.
🔹 New pattern detected
When a new pattern is detected, the previous unconfirmed pattern in the same direction (bullish - bullish or bearish - bearish) will be deleted. This will always be the case, whether "Combine' is enabled or disabled.
When the previous pattern was confirmed but no SL or Target level was hit, this pattern will stop updating.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 Unicorn
Swings: This sets the length of swings, used for the underlying ZigZag and Unicorn Patterns detection.
Bull: Enable/disable Bullish patterns, and set the color of FVG box and Trailing Stop .
Bear: Enable/disable Bearish patterns, and set the color of FVG box and Trailing Stop .
Combine: When enabled, patterns in opposite directions (bullish/bearish) can exist at the same time. disabling this feature tends to give less clutter. See the "Usage" section for more information.
🔹 Targets
Risk/Reward: Sets the Risk/Reward ratio.
Trailing Stop: Set the length of small swings, which is used for the Trailing Stop .
IU Support and Resistance How this script works :
1. This script is an indicator script which calculates the support and resistance based on pivot high and pivot low and plot them as zone onto the chart.
2. The first user input is minimum number of touches which indicates how many time pivot high or pivot low should be tested in order to be a valid support or resistance level.
3.The second user input "Set Buffer" check if the user wants to use a custom buffer or not if it's unchanged then the default is 50% of the 1000 period ATR value .
4. If "Set Buffer" is checked meaning if it's set to true then only the third user input will be execute which is the "buffer" which indicates how much price range user wants his zone to have.
5. After the user input part this script create two arrays to store the pivot high and pivot low values every time he have a new value.
6. This script also creates two arrays to store the bar index of the bar where the new pivot high or pivot low is detected those bar index will be later use while creating the support and resistance zones.
7. Then the script creates four more arrays to store the final support and resistance values and their respective bar index which will be use for creating the support and resistance zones.
8. After this the script check that we are at the last bar of our chart if we are then we sort the support and resistance indices by descending order and store them into an new variable after that we sort the support and resistance arrays by descending order, then we loop through the arrays elements and we check if the previous element comes under the zone of the current element if so we increase the "minimum touch" variable by 1, once we have 5 or more count in our variable and we no longer have a valid zone then we store the element value and the sorted index of the element into our final arrays.
9. Finally the script will loop through the final support and resistance arrays and it will create a box for each support and resistance with respect to extending it on both directions.
10.The green zones are the support and the red zones are the resistance.
How user can benifits from this script:
1. User can automatically identify support and resistance zones and he can plan his trade as per that.
2. User can test how different markets reacts with support and resistance zones.
3. User can plan breakout trade on the break of the support or resistance level.
4. User can adjust he stop loss and take profit as per the support and resistance zones.
Multi VWAP [MW]Introduction
The Multi VWAP tool extends the concept of using the Anchored Volume Weighted Average Price, popularized by its founder, Brian Shannon, founder of AlphaTrends, and creates automatic AVWAPS for multiple anchor points, such as for 2-day, 3-day, 4-day, 5-day, and custom date anchors as well as automagically creating month-to-date and year-to-date anchors. Currently, most standard VWAP tools allow users to place custom anchored VWAPs, but the routine of doing this for every equity being watched can become cumbersome. This tool makes that process multi-times easier. Brian Shannon is also the author of “Maximum Trading Gains With Anchored VWAP: The Perfect Combination of Price, Time, and Volume”. Available at Amazon.
Settings
Daily VWAP : A continuous line of the the daily Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP)
Weekly VWAP : A continuous line of the weekly VWAP
2-Day AVWAP : The anchored VWAP from 2 trading days ago (holidays and weekends are excluded in this calculation)
3-Day AVWAP : The anchored VWAP from 3 trading days ago
4-Day AVWAP : The anchored VWAP from 4 trading days ago
5-Day AVWAP : The anchored VWAP from 5 trading days ago. The slope of this line and the position of the price relative to this line can be used to determine trend direction.
10-Day AVWAP : The anchored VWAP from 10 trading days ago
Month-to-Date AVWAP : The anchored VWAP from the beginning of the current month
Year-to-Date AVWAP : The anchored VWAP from the beginning of the current year
Custom Date AVWAP : Sets a date to begin an anchored VWAP starting from any time.
Use only the most recent VWAP for Week, Month, and Year: Toggles on and off the continuous weekly, monthly, and yearly VWAPs
Calculations
This indicator does not provide buy or sell signals. It is simply the VWAP calculated starting from an “anchor point”, or start time. It is the calculated by the summation of Price x Volume / Volume for the period starting at the anchor point.
How to Interpret
According to Brian Shannon, VWAP is an objective measure of what the average trader has paid for a particular equity over a given period, and is the value that large institutional investors frequently use as a trade signal. Therefore, by definition, when the price is above an AVWAP, buyers are in control for that period of time. Likewise, if the price is below the AVWAP, sellers are in control for that period of time.
Shannon also distinguishes the importance of an increasing or decreasing 5 day VWAP, which reflects the price sentiment, objectively, for roughly the last trading week, or 5 trading days. Pricing below a decreasing 5-day VWAP is considered very bearish, while pricing above an increasing 5-day VWAP is considered bullish and is recommended before considering long positions.
Additionally, a custom VWAP can be generated to coincide with important events, such as FOMC meetings, CPI reports, earnings reports, etc.
Practically speaking, price action can tend to change direction when a significant VWAP is hit, voiding buy and sell signals. Like moving averages, this indicator can show, in real-time, how a buy or sell signal should be interpreted. A significant AVWAP line is a point of interest, and can serve as strong support or resistance, because large institutions may be using those values for entries or exits. For a great analysis of how to use AVWAP, visit the AlphaTrends channel on Youtube here or you can buy Brian Shannon’s “Anchored VWAP” book on Amazon.
Other Usage Notes and Limitations
It's important for traders to be aware of the limitations of any indicator and to use them as part of a broader, well-rounded trading strategy that includes risk management, fundamental analysis, and other tools that can help with reducing false signals, determining trend direction, and providing additional confirmation for a trade decision. Diversifying strategies and not relying solely on one type of indicator or analysis can help mitigate some of these risks.
Additionally, the indicator may take a little longer to load than usual. On the rare occasion where it fails to load, you may need to remove the indicator and add it back to your chart. Also, if you do encounter this problem, avoid redrawing your chart while the indicator is being added to the screen.
Acknowledgements
This script uses the MarketHolidays library by @Protervus. Also, for debugging, the JavaScript-style Debug Console by @algotraderdev and the TimeFormattingLibrary by @twingall were invaluable. And, of course, without Brian Shannon's books, videos, and interviews, this indicator would would not be possible.

Key Levels | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new Key Levels indicator! This indicator allows you to see the key levels on the current chart such as previous day lows / highs, pre-market data, yesterday's close, today's open, pivot points, and much more! It's highly user-friendly with every line being individually customizable and having a wide range of text options.
Features of the new Key Levels indicator :
Today & Yesterday High, Low, Open & Close
Previous 3-10th Day Highs & Lows
Pre-Market Highs & Lows
Previous Month High & Low
High & Low Pivots
Combination Of Same Levels
Wide Customization Options
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
Key levels are important areas in a chart where a significant reaction is expected. In this indicator, you can enable up to the previous 10 days highs and lows, yesterday's close / today's open, and the latest pivot points. Key levels generally act like support & resistance. Here are a few examples :
As shown, key levels play an important role determining the current trend and can be useful in identifying potential levels where the market will reverse or breakout.
🚩UNIQUENESS
1. More Key Levels
We believe that past key levels may be as important as current ones. Some of the key-levels indicators do not include them even though strong reactions can happen around them. Thus, our indicator let's you check up to 10 days backwards.
You can select the ones you think that are the most important and just enable them, making the indicator customizable to your liking.
2. Pre-Market Data
With assets that have pre-market data available, it's crucial to analyze it to have a better understanding of the market in regular trading hours. Our indicator will plot pre-market highs and lows, even if your chart is in the regular trading hours only mode. We believe this will be helpful with your analyzing process.
3. Combination
The indicator can dynamically combine same key levels, so you can have a clear look to the chart without lines & text colliding with each other. This would also help you determine stronger key levels as if a key level occured more than a time, it could be a sign that it's a stronger one. An example :
To summarize, using key levels is an essential skill while detecting zones where strong reactions are expected. This indicator provides up to 10 day's high and low levels, and all of them can be individually turned on / off. Traders that believe older key levels can be important and want to look at the whole picture may use this feature. Also for assets that have pre-market data available, the indicator provides pre-market levels as well. Besides all that, High & Low pivots will provide latest key levels so traders can use them in their decisions.
⚙️SETTINGS
1. General Configuration
You can enable / disable :
1. Today's High / Low / Open
2. Yesterday's High / Low / Close
3. 3th-10th Day High / Low
4. Pre-Market High / Low
5. Previous Month High / Low
You can also change the colors and switch their line styles between solid, dashed and dotted.
2. High & Low Pivots
Enabled -> Enable / Disable High & Low Pivots
Pivot Range -> The range used in the detection of pivot points. Larger values will result in less pivot points, while smaller values will provide more pivot points. This essentially determines how many bars to the right & left shouldn't exceed the pivot's high or low.
You can also change the text color and text size of the pivots from the settings.
3. Style settings
Text Offset -> How many bars of offset should the texts have to the right. Increase if text collides with bars while Align Labels option is set to "Right".
Extend Lines -> If enabled, lines will be extended infinitely to right & left. If disabled, all lines will be clamped in their timelines.
Show Line Values -> If enabled, line information text will contain their price.
Align Labels ->
Right = Align line labels to right.
Center = Line labels will always be at the center of the screen.
IMGPro - V1.0IMG PRO uses nine sequential stages to analyse price action and alert users to potential Trade Setups using various Price Action Concepts as detailed below:
1. Identify Higher Timeframe Market Structure and Points of Interest (HTF-POIs)
2. Calculate position size based on your risk appetite, fees and account leverage and customisable maximum trade risk
3. Verify price is in a premium or discount
4. Determine Lower Timeframe Market Structure Break Type
5. Apply Early Warning Systems if enabled
6. Alert you to risk managed trade setups at enabled HTF-POIs
7. Alert you to unentered trade invalidations
8. Alert you to trade exits based on your set criteria
9. Provide Additional Alerts such as Higher Timeframe SFPs and Market Structure Breaks that act as potential early warnings that a trade setup may be forming
1. HTF POIs Available with IMG PRO:
a. HTF Market Structure Range Highs and Lows
b. HTF Order Blocks
c. HTF Order Blocks & FVG Overlaps
d. HTF Breakers
e. HTF Breakers & FVG Overlaps
f. HTF FVGs
g. Internal Liquidity Levels
These levels are used for Trade Signals based on user settings applied. Details provided in the trade setup section below
a. Higher Timeframe Market Structure Range High and Low through Multiple Timeframe Analysis:
Market Structure can be defined using several techniques. The IMG indicators employ the Close through High/Low technique, which necessitates a candle to close through a structural level to validate a structural break and designate a new range.
Example: H12 Market Structure visualisation on a H12 Chart with annotations:
By selecting a particular Market Structure timeframe in the settings, the indicator immediately illustrates both current and historical market structures for the chosen timeframe across all subordinate timeframes, subject to the limitations of your Tradingview subscription.
Example: H12 Market Structure visualisation on a H1 Chart with annotations:
b. Higher Timeframe Order Blocks
An Order Block represents the last candle of the opposite direction preceding a Market Structure Break. For instance, a bullish Order Block is identified as the final bearish candle leading to a bullish market structure break, and vice versa for bearish Order Blocks.
Example: H12 OB visualisation on a H12 Chart with annotations:
When activated, the indicator will highlight the Higher Timeframe Order Blocks responsible for a Market Structure Break on all subordinate timeframes relative to the chosen Market Structure Timeframe.
Note: if multiple OBs exist, the indicator will display the OB closest to the new range extreme
Example: H12 OB visualisation on a H1 Chart with annotations:
c. HTF Order Blocks & HTF FVG Overlaps
When enabled, the IMG Pro will only display overlaps of Order Blocks and FVGs. These are strong points of interest to look for trade setups
Example of the indicator displaying a Higher Timeframe’s (HTF) OBs + FVGs on a Lower Timeframe (LTF) chart:
The upper chart labelled H12/H12 is the indicator displaying H12 Structure and OB+FVGs on a H12 chart.
The lower chart labelled H12/H1 is the indicator displaying H12 OB+FVGs on a H1 chart:
d. Higher Timeframe Breakers
A Breaker Block is identified as the most recent Order Block that has been breached by price, leading to an opposite Market Structure Break. For example, a bullish Breaker Block is the last bearish Order Block that price has passed through, confirming a bullish structural break, and the inverse is true for bearish Breakers.
Example: H12 Breaker visualisation on a H12 Chart with annotations:
Once enabled, the system will display Higher Timeframe Breaker Blocks after an opposite Market Structure Break is confirmed on all subordinate timeframes.
Example: H12 Breaker visualisation on a H1 Chart with annotations:
e. HTF Breakers & HTF FVG Overlaps
When enabled, the IMG Pro will only display overlaps of Breakers and FVGs. These are strong points of interest to look for trade setups
Example:
The upper chart labelled H12/H12 is the indicator displaying H12 Structure and Breakers+FVGs on a H12 chart
The lower chart labelled H12/H1 is the indicator displaying H12 Breakers+FVGs on a H1 chart
f. Higher Timeframe Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)
A Fair Value Gap is a concept used by price action traders to identify market inefficiencies, where buying and selling are not balanced. It appears on a chart as a triple-candle pattern, with a large candle flanked by two others whose highs and lows do not overlap with the large candle, creating a gap. This gap often attracts the price towards it before the market resumes its previous direction.
Example of the indicator displaying a Higher Timeframe’s FVGs on a Lower Timeframe (LTF) chart:
-The upper chart labelled H12/H12 is the indicator displaying H12 Structure and FVGs on a H12 chart.
-The lower chart labelled H12/H1 is the indicator displaying H12 FVGs on a H1 chart
g. HTF Internal Liquidity Levels (FVGs)
A HTF Liquidity Level is a Higher Timeframe three bar Pivot that forms inside an active range.
When enabled, the system will display all UNTESTED HTF pivots formed within an active range. Lines will stop extending once they are either tested or HTF Market Structure Breaks
Example: H12 Liquidity Levels on a H1 Chart:
2. Risk Management and Position Sizing:
a. Automated Position Sizing:
The System will automatically calculate position size based on the account size, max leverage and risk appetite (capital risk per trade) details input in settings. Calculated trade details are included in the Tradingview Alerts as well as interactive labels on the charts.
Details include but are not limited to:
Trade Timeframe
Side: Long/Short
Type: Limit/Market
Position Size in $ and Units
Lot sizes if applicable
Trade Risk %
Take Profit Level
Entry Price
Stoploss Price
b. Maximum Trade Risk:
IMG PRO has the ability to invalidate potential trade entries if it exceeds your maximum Trade Risk threshold. Trade Risk is the % price difference between entry and stoploss.
When an invalid signal is generated, the signal will not be shaded and the interactive label will display the reason for invalidation
In the example below, Max Trade Risk is set to 2% , but the trade signal had a trade risk of 5.11% invalidating the signal with a grey triangle
3. Verify Premium / Discount:
The system can be setup to only display signals that are in the top or bottom n% of the Market Structure Range
A value of 0 (default) will disable the premium/discount system and utilize the entire range for all signal types (bullish and bearish)
EXAMPLES:
A value of 50% will only display bullish signals that have, at minimum, tagged the bottom half of the range and vice versa for bearish signals.
A value of 25% will only display bullish signals that have tagged the bottom quarter of the range and vice versa.
A value of 38.2% will display signals that tag the top and bottom 38.2% of the range (equivalent of the 61.8% OTE. retracement) Etc.
4. Determine Lower Timeframe Market Structure Break Type
IMG Pro has two options for Lower Timeframe Structure Breaks:
Market Structure Breaks: When selected, the system will use the first opposite pivot (in the current chart timeframe) to the left of a confirmed SFP to calculate a break in market structure when price closes through it:
Market Structure Shifts: When selected, the system will use the first opposite pivot (in the current chart timeframe) to the left OR right of a confirmed SFP to calculate a break in market structure when price closes through it. MSS’ are more sensitive and may provide more false signals but are useful when there are big spike liquidity runs:
5. Apply Early Warning Systems if enabled:
The IMG Pro indicator has an early warning system that will generate a potential setup alert before a HTF SFP is confirmed
There are two types of early warnings:
LTF Structure Break Early Warning:
If enabled, the system will generate a potential setup alert if price cuts through a HTF level (Range Extreme / Internal Liquidity) and prints an opposite LTF MSB back through that level. This is a more aggressive approach where the system does not wait for the HTF SFP to be confirmed.
Example: In the screenshot below, the system did not wait for a H12 SFP to be confirmed, allowing it to signal an entry that would have otherwise been missed if the LTF Structure Break early warning system was not enabled
LTF FVG Early Warning:
If enabled, the system will generate a potential setup alert if price cuts through a HTF level (Range Extreme / Internal Liquidity) and prints an opposite LTF FVG back through that level. No LTF MSB is required and a limit order at the FVG is signalled. This is a more aggressive approach where the system does not wait for the HTF SFP to be confirmed.
Example: In the screenshot below, the system did not wait for a H12 SFP to be confirmed, signalling an entry as soon as an opposite LTF FVG is confirmed pushing price back through the HTF Liquidity Levels
6. Trade Setup Types Available with IMG PRO:
The system will alert you to potential trade setups at these HTF POIs: .
a. Higher Timeframe (HTF) Swing Failure followed by a Lower Timeframe (LTF) MSB at Range Extremes
b. Higher Timeframe (HTF) Swing Failure followed by a Lower Timeframe (LTF) MSB at enabled HTF POIs
c. Higher Timeframe (HTF) Swing Failure followed by a Lower Timeframe (LTF) MSB at All Internal Liquidity Levels (With Trend and Counter Trend)
d. Higher Timeframe (HTF) Swing Failure followed by a Lower Timeframe (LTF) MSB at All Internal Liquidity Levels (With Trend ONLY)
e. Lower Timeframe (LTF) Swing Failure followed by a Lower Timeframe (LTF) MSB at enabled HTF POIs
f. Multiple LTF Entry Options once a signal is confirmed
a. HTF Swing Failure followed by a LTF MSB at Range Extremes
A Swing Failure Pattern (SFP) is a technical analysis concept used in trading to identify potential reversals in price trends. It occurs when the price attempts to surpass a previous high or low but fails to sustain that level, indicating a possible change in market direction. There are multiple methods to define a SFP but this indicator uses the failure to close through a Key Level. When confirmed, HTF SFPs will be displayed on-screen and an alert will fire if enabled.
Example: EURUSD H12 Trade Setup Alerts at Range Extremes on a H1 Chart:
Alerts to Enter at Lower Timeframe MSBs
When enabled, a potential trade setup label and alert will generate when a HTF SFP is confirmed at a Range Extreme followed by a Chart Timeframe (Lower Timeframe) Market Structure Break (MSB). These signals are agnostic to current Market Structure bias and will generate at both extremes.
b. HTF Swing Failure followed by a LTF MSB at HTF POIs:
When enabled, a trade setup label and alert will generate when a HTF SFP is confirmed at an enabled Higher Timeframe POI (Order Blocks / Breakers / FVGs) followed by a Chart Timeframe (Lower Timeframe) Market Structure Break (MSB). These signals are always in line current Market Structure bias.
Example: H12 SFPs and Trade Setups at HTF POIs with Fluid Exits on a H1 Chart:
c. HTF Swing Failure followed by a LTF MSB at All Internal Liquidity Levels ( With Trend and Counter Trend ):
When enabled, a trade setup label and alert will generate when a HTF SFP is confirmed at an Internal Liquidity Level followed by a LTF Market Structure Break (MSB) or Market Structure Shift(MSS). These signals are agnostic to HTF Market Structure bias and will alert to setups with and counter trend.
Example:
d. HTF Swing Failure followed by a LTF MSB at All Internal Liquidity Levels ( With Trend ONLY )
Same as (c), but will only signal trades that are in line with higher timeframe structure. I.e If HTF Structure is bullish, then only bullish trades will be signalled.
e. LTF Swing Failure followed by a LTF MSB at enabled HTF POIs
The system will alert you to a lower timeframe setup if these conditions are met inside enabled HTF POIs (OBs / Breakers / FVGs):
- LTF SFP
- LTF MSB
Example:
f. LTF Entry Options:
IMG PRO provides the following options for LTF Entries:
i. Limit Entry at MSB Level
ii. Limit Entry at Breaker
iii. Limit Entry at Raid Candle
iv. Limit Entry at OTE 70.5% Retracement
v. Market Entries (where applicable)
Trade entry alerts will detail limit entry prices based on the option selected here.
7. Unentered Trade Invalidations:
IMG Pro can invalidate unentered signals based on these custom criteria:
a. Opposite HTF SFP Before Entry
b. TP Hit Before Entry
c. Confirmed Opposite Signal Before Entry
If enabled and criteria met, the system will alert you to cancel any limit orders for the trade that is being invalidated.
8. Trade Exit Types Available with IMG PRO:
The system provides the following options for trade exit alerts:
a. Exit at Fixed R:R
b. Exit at a confirmed Opposite Signal (Fluid Exits)
c. Exit at enabled and untested HTF POIs
d. Exit on an opposite HTF SFP at a liquidity level
Example: H12 SFPs and Potential Trade Setups at Internal Liquidity Levels with Exit at closest untested HTF POI on a H1 Chart:
9. IMG PRO Alerts Overview
The system provides notifications of:
a. Confirmed HTF Market Structure Breaks
b. Confirmed HTF SFPs at Range Extremes
c. Confirmed HTF SFPs at HTF POIs
d. Confirmed HTF SFPs at Liquidity Levels
e. Potential Trade Setups at Range Extremes
f. Potential Trade Setups at HTF Points of Interest
g. Potential Trade Setups at HTF Liquidity Levels
h. LTF SFPs inside HTF POIs
i. Potential LTF Setups at HTF POIs
j. All Exit Types including Stoplosses
k. All Trade Invalidations
To enable alerts, right-click on the indicator and select “Add Alert on IMG ...”. You may customise the alert name as desired and then click 'Create' to finalise the alert setup.
General Note:
There is no system, indicator, algorithm, or strategy that can provide absolute certainty in predicting market movements. Use trading indicators as a tool to assist with trading decisions; manage your risk wisely.
Stay safe and Happy Trading!

Market Structure can be defined using several techniques. The IMG indicators employ the Close through High/Low technique, which necessitates a candle to close through a structural level to validate a structural break and designate a new range.
Example: H12 Market Structure visualisation on a H12 Chart with annotations:
By selecting a particular Market Structure timeframe in the settings, the indicator immediately illustrates both current and historical market structures for the chosen timeframe across all subordinate timeframes, subject to the limitations of your Tradingview subscription.
Example: H12 Market Structure visualisation on a H1 Chart with annotations:
b. Higher Timeframe Order Blocks
An Order Block represents the last candle of the opposite direction preceding a Market Structure Break. For instance, a bullish Order Block is identified as the final bearish candle leading to a bullish market structure break, and vice versa for bearish Order Blocks.
Example: H12 OB visualisation on a H12 Chart with annotations:
When activated, the indicator will highlight the Higher Timeframe Order Blocks responsible for a Market Structure Break on all subordinate timeframes relative to the chosen Market Structure Timeframe.
Note: if multiple OBs exist, the indicator will display the OB closest to the new range extreme
Example: H12 OB visualisation on a H1 Chart with annotations:
c. Higher Timeframe Breakers
A Breaker Block is identified as the most recent Order Block that has been breached by price, leading to an opposite Market Structure Break. For example, a bullish Breaker Block is the last bearish Order Block that price has passed through, confirming a bullish structural break, and the inverse is true for bearish Breakers.
Example: H12 Breaker visualisation on a H12 Chart with annotations:
Once enabled, the system will display Higher Timeframe Breaker Blocks after an opposite Market Structure Break is confirmed on all subordinate timeframes.
Example: H12 Breaker visualisation on a H1 Chart with annotations:
d. Higher Timeframe Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)
A Fair Value Gap is a concept used by price action traders to identify market inefficiencies, where buying and selling are not balanced. It appears on a chart as a triple-candle pattern, with a large candle flanked by two others whose highs and lows do not overlap with the large candle, creating a gap. This gap often attracts the price towards it before the market resumes its previous direction.
Example of the indicator displaying a Higher Timeframe’s FVGs on a Lower Timeframe (LTF) chart:
-The upper chart labelled H12/H12 is the indicator displaying H12 Structure and FVGs on a H12 chart.
-The lower chart labelled H12/H1 is the indicator displaying H12 FVGs on a H1 chart
2. Risk Management and Position Sizing:
a. Automated Position Sizing:
The System will automatically calculate position size based on the account size, max leverage and risk appetite (capital risk per trade) details input in settings. Calculated trade details are included in the Tradingview Alerts as well as interactive labels on the charts.
Details include but are not limited to:
Trade Timeframe
Side: Long/Short
Type: Limit/Market
Position Size in $ and Units
Lot sizes if applicable
Trade Risk %
Take Profit Level
Entry Price
Stoploss Price
b. Maximum Trade Risk:
IMG Core has the ability to invalidate potential trade entries if it exceeds your maximum Trade Risk threshold. Trade Risk is the % price difference between entry and stoploss.
When an invalid signal is generated, the signal will not be shaded and the interactive label will display the reason for invalidation
In the example below, Max Trade Risk is set to 2% , but the trade signal had a trade risk of 5.11% , invalidating the signal with a grey triangle
3. Trade Setup Types Available with IMG CORE:
The system will alert you to potential trade setups at these HTF POIs: .
a. Higher Timeframe (HTF) Swing Failure followed by a Lower Timeframe (LTF) MSB at Range Extremes
b. Higher Timeframe (HTF) Swing Failure followed by a Higher Timeframe (HTF) MSB at enabled HTF POIs
c. Lower Timeframe (LTF) Swing Failure followed by a Lower Timeframe (LTF) MSB at enabled HTF POIs
d. Multiple LTF Entry Options once a signal is confirmed
a. HTF Swing Failure followed by a Lower Timeframe (LTF) MSB at Range Extremes
A Swing Failure Pattern (SFP) is a technical analysis concept used in trading to identify potential reversals in price trends. It occurs when the price attempts to surpass a previous high or low but fails to sustain that level, indicating a possible change in market direction. There are multiple methods to define a SFP but this indicator uses the failure to close through a Key Level. When confirmed, HTF SFPs will be displayed on-screen and an alert will fire if enabled.
Example: H12 SFPs at Range Extremes on a H1 Chart:
Alerts to Enter at Lower Timeframe MSBs
When enabled, a potential trade setup label and alert will generate when a HTF SFP is confirmed at a Range Extreme followed by a Chart Timeframe (Lower Timeframe) Market Structure Break (MSB). These signals are agnostic to current Market Structure bias and will generate at both extremes.
b. HTF Swing Failure followed by a Lower Timeframe (LTF) MSB at HTF POIs:
When enabled, a potential trade setup label and alert will generate when a HTF SFP is confirmed at an enabled Higher Timeframe POI (Order Blocks / Breakers / FVGs) followed by a Chart Timeframe (Lower Timeframe) Market Structure Break (MSB). These signals are always in line current Market Structure bias.
Example: H12 SFPs and Trade Setups at HTF POIs with Fluid Exits on a H1 Chart:
c. LTF Swing Failure followed by a LTF MSB at Range Extremes at enabled HTF POIs

CANDLE LEVELS [PRO]This indicator provides you with 55 levels! with labels to help you identify quickly where current price is in relation to the OPEN, CLOSE, HIGH OF DAY and LOW OF DAY to a respective level. Choose from levels as low as the 5 minute time frame all the way up to 200 days. All of the levels except the day's OPEN, HIGH OF DAY AND LOW OF DAY use the PREVIOUS time frame's level. In other words, when you're looking at the "1 DAY HIGH", that's actually the previous day's HIGH OF DAY. Whether you're a scalper on the lower time frames or a swing trader that mainly uses the 1 hour and above, these candle levels can be an invaluable source of support and resistance; in other words you'll often see price bounce off of a level (whether price is increasing or decreasing) once or multiple times and that could be an indication of a price's direction. Another way that you could utilize this indicator is to use it in confluence with other popular signals, such as an EMA crossover. For instance, you could watch as price rises above the 21 EMA all the while price is also crossing up and over the previous day's HIGH OF DAY with a relative volume that's double that of the previous week's average. These are just a few of some potential bullish signals that you could look for to go long on a trade using the candle levels provided.
I've made this indicator extremely customizable:
⚡Each level has 2 labels: 1 "at level" and 1 "at right", each label and price can be disabled
⚡Each label has its own input for label padding. The "at right" label padding input allows you to zoom in and out of a chart without the labels moving along their respective axis
⚡Each label's text can be customized via an "input.string" code base
⚡Each level's label can be changed via a plot style setting to determine if the label is centered with it's respective level or rides along the top of it
⚡Significant figures input allows you to round price up or down
⚡A "bias EMA" tool that color codes the candles and price line to show you where price is in relation to the 21 EMA (or another value that you pick). As a result, this can be an effective visual to help reduce cognitive load
⚡A "fill level" where color is determined by price opening above or below the previous day's close
⚡A "use current close" setting that's great to use in pre-market as it shows you where price is in relation to the previous days' close

Pivot Percentile Trend - Strategy [presentTrading]
█ Introduction and How it is Different
The "Pivot Percentile Trend - Strategy" from PresentTrading represents a paradigm shift in technical trading strategies. What sets this strategy apart is its innovative use of pivot percentiles, a method that goes beyond traditional indicator-based analyses. Unlike standard strategies that might depend on single-dimensional signals, this approach takes a multi-layered view of market movements, blending percentile calculations with SuperTrend indicators for a more nuanced and dynamic market analysis.
This strategy stands out for its ability to process multiple data points across various timeframes and pivot lengths, thereby capturing a broader and more detailed picture of market trends. It's not just about following the price; it's about understanding its position in the context of recent historical highs and lows, offering a more profound insight into potential market movements.
BTC 6h L/S
Where traditional methods might react to market changes, the Pivot Percentile Trend strategy anticipates them, using a calculated approach to identify trend strengths and weaknesses. This foresight gives traders a significant advantage, allowing for more strategic decision-making and potentially increasing the chances of successful trades.
In essence, this strategy introduces a more comprehensive and proactive approach to trading, harnessing the power of advanced percentile calculations combined with the robustness of SuperTrend indicators. It's a strategy designed for traders who seek a deeper understanding of market dynamics and a more calculated approach to their trading decisions.
Local picture
█ Strategy, How It Works: Detailed Explanation
🔶 Percentile Calculations
- The strategy employs percentile calculations to assess the relative position of current market prices against historical data.
- For a set of lengths (e.g., `length * 1`, `length * 2`, up to `length * 7`), it calculates the 75th percentile for high values (`percentilesHigh`) and the 25th percentile for low values (`percentilesLow`).
- These percentiles provide a sense of where the current price stands compared to recent price ranges.
Length - 10
Length - 15
🔶 SuperTrend Indicator
- The SuperTrend indicator is a key component, providing trend direction signals.
- It uses the `currentTrendValue`, derived from the difference between bull and bear strengths calculated from the percentile data.
* used the Supertrend toolkit by @EliCobra
🔶 Trend Strength Counts
- The strategy calculates counts of bullish and bearish indicators based on comparisons between the current high and low against high and low percentiles.
- `countBull` and `countBear` track the number of times the current high is above the high percentiles and the current low is below the low percentiles, respectively.
- Weak bullish (`weakBullCount`) and bearish (`weakBearCount`) counts are also determined by how often the current lows and highs fall within the percentile range.
*The idea of this strength counts mainly comes from 'Trend Strength Over Time' @federalTacos5392b
🔶 Trend Value Calculation
- The `currentTrendValue` is a crucial metric, computed as `bullStrength - bearStrength`.
- It indicates the market's trend direction, where a positive value suggests a bullish trend and a negative value indicates a bearish trend.
🔶 Trade Entry and Exit Logic
- The entry points for trades are determined by the combination of the trend value and the direction indicated by the SuperTrend indicator.
- For a long entry (`shouldEnterLong`), the `currentTrendValue` must be positive and the SuperTrend indicator should show a downtrend.
- Conversely, for a short entry (`shouldEnterShort`), the `currentTrendValue` should be negative with the SuperTrend indicating an uptrend.
- The strategy closes positions when these conditions reverse.
█ Trade Direction
The strategy is versatile, allowing traders to choose their preferred trading direction: long, short, or both. This flexibility enables traders to tailor their strategies to their market outlook and risk appetite.
█ Default Settings and Customization
1. Trade Direction: Selectable as Long, Short, or Both, affecting the type of trades executed.
2. Indicator Source: Pivot Percentile Calculations, key for identifying market trends and reversals.
3. Lengths for Percentile Calculation: Various configurable lengths, influencing the scope of trend analysis.
4. SuperTrend Settings: ATR Length 20, Multiplier 18, affecting indicator sensitivity and trend detection.
5. Style Options: Custom colors for bullish (green) and bearish (red) trends, aiding visual interpretation.
6. Additional Settings: Includes contrarian signals and UI enhancements, offering strategic and visual flexibility.
Order Blocks | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new Volumized Order Blocks indicator! This new indicator can render order blocks with their volumetric information. It's highly customizable with detection, invalidation and style settings.
Features of the new Volumized Order Blocks indicator :
Render Bullish & Bearish Order Blocks
Enable / Disable Volumetric Information
Enable / Disable Historic Zones
Visual Customizability
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
Order blocks occur when there is a high amount of market orders exist on a price range. It is possible to find order blocks using specific formations on the chart.
The high & low volume of order blocks should be taken into consideration while determining their strengths. The determination of the high & low volume of order blocks are similar to FVGs, in a bullish order block, the high volume is the last 2 bars' total volume, while the low volume is the oldest bar's volume. In a bearish order block scenario, the low volume becomes the last 2 bars' total volume.
🚩UNIQUENESS
The ability to render the total volume of Order Blocks as well as bullish / bearish volume ratio is what sets this Order Block indicator apart from others. Also the ability to combine overlapping Order Block zones will result in cleaner charts for traders.
⚙️SETTINGS
1. General Configuration
Volumetric Info -> The volumetric information of the Order Blocks will be rendered if activated.
Zone Invalidation -> Select between Wick & Close price for Order Block Invalidation.
Swing Length -> Swing length is used when finding order block formations. Smaller values will result in finding smaller order blocks.
Breaker Blocks | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new Volumized Breaker Blocks indicator! This new indicator can render breaker blocks with their volumetric information. It's highly customizable with detection, invalidation and style settings.
Features of the new Volumized Breaker Block indicator :
Render Bullish & Bearish Breaker Blocks
Enable / Disable Volumetric Information
Enable / Disable Historic Zones
Visual Customizability
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
Breaker blocks form when an order block fails, or "breaks". It is often associated with market going in the opposite direction of the broken order block, and they can be spotted by following order blocks and finding the point they get broken, ie. price goes below a bullish order block.
The volume of a breaker block is simply the total volume of the bar that the original order block is broken.
🚩UNIQUENESS
This indicator can not only detect breaker blocks, but it can also detect them with their volumetric information. Volumetric information can be crucial when considering an breaker block's strength, which can be a crucial form of confluence in certain trading strategies.
⚙️SETTINGS
1. General Configuration
Volumetric Info -> The volumetric information of the Breaker Blocks will be rendered if activated.
Zone Invalidation -> Select between Wick & Close price for Breaker Block Invalidation.
Swing Length -> Swing length is used when finding breaker block formations. Smaller values will result in finding smaller breaker blocks.

VWAP RangeThe VWAP Range indicator is a highly versatile and innovative tool designed with trading signals for trading the supply and demand within consolidation ranges.
What's a VWAP?
A VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) represents an equilibrium point in the market, balancing supply and demand over a specified period. Unlike simple moving averages, VWAP gives more weight to periods with higher volume. This is crucial because large volumes indicate significant trading activity, often by institutional traders, whose actions can reflect deeper market insights or create substantial market movements. The VWAP is also often used as a benchmark to evaluate the efficiency of executed trades. If a trader buys below the VWAP and sells above it, they are generally considered to have transacted favourably.
This is how it works:
Multiple VWAP Anchors:
This indicator uses multiple VWAPs anchored to different optional time periods, such as Daily, Weekly, Monthly, as well as to the highest high a lowest low within those periods. This multiplicity allows for a comprehensive view of the market’s average price based on volume and price, tailored to different trading styles and strategies.
Dynamic and Fixed Periods:
Traders can choose between using dynamic ranges, which reset at the start of each selected period, and specifying a date and time for a particular fixed range to trade. This flexibility is crucial for analyzing price movements within specific ranges or market phases.
Fixed ranges allow VWAPs to be calculated and anchored to a significant market event, the beginning of a consolidation phase or after a major news announcement.
Signal Generation:
The indicator generates buy and sell signals based on the relationship of the price to the VWAPs. It also allows for setting a maximum number of signals in one direction to avoid overtrading or pyramiding. Be sure to wait for the candle close before trading on the signals.
Average Buy/Sell Signal Lines:
Lines can be plotted to display the average buy and sell signal prices. The difference between the lines shows the average profit per trade when trading on the signals in that range. It's a good way to see how profitable a range is on average without backtesting the signals. The lines will also often turn into support and resistance areas, similar to value areas in a volume profile.
Customizable Settings:
Traders have control over various settings, such as the VWAP calculation method and bar color. There are also tooltips for every function.
Hidden Feature:
There's a subtle feature in this indicator: if you have 'Indicator values' turned on in TradingView, you'll see a Sell/Buy Ratio displayed only in the status line. This ratio indicates whether there are more sell signals than buy signals in a range, regardless of the Max Signals setting. A red value above 1 suggests that the market is trending upward, indicating you might want to hold your long positions a bit longer. Conversely, a green value below 1 implies a downward trend.
NITS - NIFTY INTRADAY TRADING SYSTEMNSE:NIFTY
Hello Traders..!
This is another indicator / system to make use for NIFTY & BANK NIFTY Intra day trading.
This is my Gift to the traders for this New Year 2024. Use this to your Edge and make some profits. All explained below.
NIFTY INTRA-DAY TRADING SYSTEM
Explanation of Arrays:
-------------------------------
## FIRST 15 MIN SESSION BOX ##
From 09:15 to 09:30 where the initial orders will get collected and Auction takes place.
DO NOT engage into any trade in this session. Let the Box develop.
## INITIAL HIGH / LOW FORMATION SESSION ##
This session is from 09:15 to 10:30.
We can observe the Initial High or Low being formed for the day, that is VALID TILL 11:30.
## NO-TRADE ZONE / ACC. AREA / DAY’S H OR L CONFIRMATION SESSION ##
From 11:30 to 12:30
90% of time this is the session where the whole Day’s High or Low will get confirmed. Sometimes the market may violate this Session!
DO NOT engage into any fresh trade in this area.
Once the box is developed, you can see the Mid price line will be formed which is valid for the afternoon Trading session till 15:30.
## SIGNAL LINE, MIDDLE PRICE LINE, SESSION HIGH LOW LINES ##
Middle Price Line – the dotted line (Red colour) is Mid Price Line for the Initial session box. This acts as an important price level for the whole day.
Signal Line – the Solid line that will form after 10:30. Consider this price line as very important price line to which the price reacts with a good momentum, either break through or rejection and valid for the whole trading day.
Session High Low price line – high and low prices of the Initial session box which acts as a good Support / Resistance / Target / Stop loss. Even previous session’s price lines can also be used for the current day too.
## TREND BOX ##
Multi-Time frame trend box will show the real-time trend on different time frames. This box will be very helpful in trade decision. Please note that at least THREE HIGHER TIME FRAME TRENDS must be in the same direction to support your trade criteria for the better confirmation.
## VOLUME IMBALANCE ##
These orange coloured boxes are very tiny imbalances between prices that were formed during price movements. Algorithm will try to fill these imbalances on its way of filling orders. These price imbalances can be used for our edge while taking trades.
SOME TIPS:
---------------------------
1) Avoid Break out trades
2) Always trade the pull backs
3) Keep your Stops above / below the KEY LEVELS
4) Always follow the Higher Time frame trend while taking a trade.
If you trade in 1m TF consider 5m trend
If you trade in 5m TF consider 1H or 15m trend
5) Consider the higher TF closure of prices only, to validate the break out.
6) Trade what you see, market can do anything it wants.
7) Do not worry about losses. It happens and that is the business.
8) End your trading week in green no matter how big or small the profit is. Consistency is the key this business.
9) Keep in mind that the Market does two things only, either it will FILL THE GAP or GRAB THE LIQUIDITY. Just plan your trades accordingly. Liquidity levels like Previous Session / Day / Week / highs and lows.
10) The Market is a continuous business. It does not end for the specific day. It will not end its Buy or Sell model unless it completes its cycle, hence TRADE WHAT YOU SEE and not WHAT YOU THINK!
11) Unless the key swing high / low is broken and closed, DO NOT consider that move as a reversal. Consider that as a Liquidity grab. And it will continue in its previous trend.
HOW TO TAKE TRADE USING NITS: (one of the Techniques)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As explained above, Do not engage in trade for the first 15 minutes.
Once the 15m box forms then look for divergence between NIFTY and BANK NIFTY.
Both Indices are supposed to trade in the same direction but at key levels and times, these instruments will make DIVERGENCE with its Highs and Lows.
Ex: one Index will make LOW AND LOWER LOW and at the same time other will make LOW AND HIGHER LOW. This deflection can be used for taking Buy Trades.
Ex:
If the Divergence forms at the Bottom then the market will move upwards.
If the Divergence forms at the Top then the market makes down move.
To confirm this divergence, the price will move away from that deflected Lows or Highs.
-----------------------------------
POINTS TO OBSERVE
------------------------------------
Mostly the first 15 min range that forms will either be very large candles or normal candles with rejection wicks or Shaved bar (open and H/L same)
Whenever you observe a very large wide range bars within the 15min range, consider the Day’s high and Low is already formed. And the market will be hovering inside that range only. Very useful for taking 50 points scalping here and there by using the signal line and middle line or Acc box mid line. In this scenario you have three important info of the day, OPEN HIGH & LOW established already, The market will only look for its close.
Ex:
If the market trades with normal candles, then consider your trades in two parts.
From 09:30 to 11:30 and from 12:30 to 15:30 as 11:30 to 12:30 will confirm the current day’s High / Low hence do not take a fresh position within that time.
1) Initial session trade – If the price does not break and close the 15 min range high/low, consider it is going to reverse and continue its trend till 10:30
Ex:
2) Mid session Trade – mostly the market accumulates positions and collects orders between 11:30 to 12:30 for the afternoon session. Once the session box is developed, the middle price line will form. Wait for the market breakout and close off this session’s high or low in Higher TF. The market will continue in the direction of breakout from this session and continue till 15:30. Hence wait for pull back till its mid price / high or low price lines of this Acc box and take trade in the initial breakout direction keeping stop above or below the session’s high or low.

Catching Trend Reversals by shorting tops and buying bottomsHOLP (High of the low period) and LOHP (Low of the high period)
Catching Trend Reversals by shorting tops and buying bottoms
using this Swing High/Low Indicator
Trading Strategy comes from Mastering the Trade, by John Carter pg 300.
Trading Rules for Sells, Buys are reversed
1. Identifying a trending market, where today's price is making a 20-day high (17-18 day highs are also fine)
Note this is configurable by setting the trending period variable (defaults to 20)
For example if price is making a 20 period high or 20 period low, it will show a triangle up/down above the candle.
2. Identify the high bar in the uptrend
3. Go short once the price action closes below the low of this high bar
4. The initial stop is the high of the high bar.
5. If you are in the trade on the third day or period, use a 2 bar trailing stop.
You can check 2-bar trailing stop to draw the line, defaults to off.
Stop is indicated by the white dot.

CofeeShopCrypto CoffeeBreak RSI**This Indicator DOES NOT REPAINT**
For me the RSI who's been a very powerful tool but one of the things that's been missing from it time and time again is the ability to show true dynamic support and resistance that is generated by the movements of the RSI.
This version of the Relative Strength Index is designed to visualize and mark Support and Resistance conditions on the Relative Strength Index (RSI) itself, and leaving behind those known dynamic support and resistance (S/R) zones.
It also has the ability during live marks to show you whether the majority of momentum is to the bullish or bearish side and if there is a conflict between the current momentum and the support or resistance zone that you are inside of. In short it will create the zones during live market.
This means you don't have to wait to only look at previous values you can also make an assessment during live breakouts on current support and resistance levels as well as using previous support and resistance levels as markers for any limits in movement.
Inputs Tab:
Show Dynamic Zone Creator - Gives you a live action SR Generator on your chart at your current bars which extends a bit into the future for a better visual sense of activity.
The color of this area can be set manually or you can let the script color this area automatically.
This Generator helps to plot Support and Resistance Zones on your chart.
If no zone is triggered then it will move on.
If a zone is triggered, it will change to the appropriate color and leave the zone behind as the new candles form.
Show Dynamic Zone Mid Level - This is just a midline of the Zone Creator to get an earlier visualization of what's happening inside the zone when it is very large.
I use this midline as a breakpoint when price and RSI values come back to this level and both break it. If only ONE breaks the level, I do not take it as a confirmation.
Extend RSI support and resistance boxes into the future - this is strictly up to the user which value you set. It will simply extend the zones that were left behind into the future as many bars as you choose. Depending on the chart or asset that you trade and how much volatility there is at the time you should be able to determine a good length for these boxes.
How many bars reflect the dynamic S/R zone - raising this value can overlap more zones using more bars going backwards. This can intensify the color of the current zone being created. The lowest value you should use is 2. But the higher you make this value you will also be able to see previous zones created with more intensity. Raising this value above the RSI value can give you a very nice previous depletion of color on previous zones where you'll be able to watch them fade away and it will intensify the current ones being created.
Only show this many previous support and resistance zones - this is a way to limit the number of zones that are being left behind on your chart which could possibly slow down the activity of calculations and how your chart moves with more indicators on it. Technically you can show 400 to 500 previous zones on your chart but you don't really need to see that many in the past so set this to something that is relative to how far in history you need to reference SR levels.
------------- Lets talk about how to take trades and see false breakouts. -------------
Support Created, Not broken, False Breakout
In the image below you can see how the Dynamic Zone Generator left behind a Support Level however the RSI was unable to break above it.
This creates a price swing on the chart.
The RSI later comes back to this level, however while price breaks this level, the RSI does not.
This confirms that it is a false breakout.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now lets take a look at what a confirmed breakout is for a short along with a Continuation of short move. This is quickly followed by a divergence.
In the image below you can see how the RSI was in its ranging area and broke below that range. In this case it would be be below -10. During this time it never created a support level or resistance level underneath it implicating that it has continuous movement.
You can see later that when it broke back inside of the range did not go long instead there was a red resistance area created below the RSI. The RSI then again broke below -10 and it broke through this resistance area below it indicating another quick short entry. This is the setup for a quick continuation. Be careful of these setups as they are usually followed quickly by a divergence.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Dynamic Zone Creator takes its time to calculate. It cant predict the future so you'll have to just let it do its thing. Once the candles close and they confirm, you'll have the color, and zone size you need.
The Dynamic Zone Creator works against your currently OPEN candles.
It will give you a high and a low area of a zone which you can use in later points of the oscillator to determine if you have valid breakouts and or bounces of price and momentum.
When set to automatic coloring, its zone background and midline will automatically change their colors to match the momentum of the RSI and price.
If there is no support or resistance found, the Zone Creator will simply move onto the next candles in play.
If there IS support or resistance found, the Zone Creator will leave behind a phantom zone or Support or Resistance.
Keep in mind these zones left behind will turn into opposing Support or Resistance depending on if price and momentum break these areas simultaneously.
----------------------------Reason for closed source----------------------------
This indicator will be updated in the future to also produce trendlines, signals, and incorporate different methods of validate pivots and volume by calculations I have created of my own.
To avoid publishing this script more than once and give you all a direct access, without having to find a secondary or tertiary publication with the addons code is protected and will be updated here.
I have put several days into this particular script and will continue over the next few weeks to add in complimentary coding as this version of the script is really just stage one.
Fair Value Gaps (Volumetric) | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing a brand new Fair Value Gaps (FVG) indicator, now with Volumetric Zones! You can now see the total volume of FVG zones, as well as their bullish & bearish volume ratio.
Features of the Volumetric FVG Indicator :
Render Bullish / Bearish FVG Zones
See Total Volume Of The FVG Zones
See The Ratio Of Bullish / Bearish Bar Volume Of FVG Zones
Combination Of Overlapping FVG Zones
Variety Of Zone Detection/ Sensitivity / Filtering / Invalidation Settings
High Customizability
🚩UNIQUENESS
The ability to render the total volume of FVGs as well as bullish / bearish volume ratio is what sets this FVG indicator apart from others. Also the ability to combine overlapping FVG zones will result in cleaner charts for traders.
⚙️SETTINGS
1. General Configuration
Zone Invalidation -> Select between Wick & Close price for FVG Zone Invalidation.
Zone Filtering -> With "Average Range" selected, algorithm will find FVG zones in comparison with average range of last bars in the chart. With the "Volume Threshold" option, you may select a Volume Threshold % to spot FVGs with a larger total volume than average.
FVG Detection -> With the "Same Type" option, all 3 bars that formed the FVG should be the same type. (Bullish / Bearish). If the "All" option is selected, bar types may vary between Bullish / Bearish.
Detection Sensitivity -> You may select between Low, Normal or High FVG detection sensitivity. This will essentially determine the size of the spotted FVGs, with lower sensitivities resulting in spotting bigger FVGs, and higher sensitivities resulting in spotting all sizes of FVGs.
Show Historic Zones -> If this option is on, the indicator will render invalidated FVG zones as well as current FVG zones. For a cleaner look at current FVG zones which are not invalidated yet, you can turn this option off.
True SMCThe True SMC Indicator is specifically designed for structure mapping and the identification of high-probability Order Blocks. Excelling in distinctly recognising four types of Order Blocks, it provides traders with a direct and efficient method to dissect market movements and identify strategic entry points with precision
🔶 Understanding Structure Mapping
This indicator introduces a unique approach to analysing market structure, focusing on liquidity, which is termed 'Inducement'. Inducement is crucial for identifying key structural markers in the market, such as Higher Highs (HH), Higher Lows (HL), Lower Lows (LL), and Lower Highs (LH).
Inducement acts like a trap set near a supply or demand zone. It entices impatient buyers or sellers into the market before the actual zone is reached, thereby creating liquidity. For an inducement to be considered valid, it must represent a valid pullback.
A valid scenario occurs when the price sweeps or closes beyond the high or low of the previous candle; in this case, the candle's color, whether bullish or bearish, is not relevant, and both scenarios are considered valid. Inside bars are ignored as they do not meet this criterion. The indicator assists in this process by automatically highlighting valid pullbacks with a distinctive gray round label.
This feature is not just a visual aid but also a crucial tool in effortlessly understanding market movements, providing a clear visual representation of ongoing market trends.
🔶 Understanding How Order Block is working
Our indicator incorporates four distinct types of Order Blocks, each designed for specific roles in market analysis. Among these, the **OB-IDM** and **OB-EXT** are regarded as high-probability Order Blocks, and our primary focus is on these two for market entry.
IDM Order Block (OB-IDM): IDM Order block (OB-IDM) is basically the first Order Block that shows up after the IDM level is passed. Think of it as the closest OB you find below the current IDM.
Extreme Order Block (OB-EXT): OB-EXT is the first and lowest Order Block that you'll find between a Major Low and a Major High.
Single Candle Order Block (SCOB): Single candle mitigation is very Powerful way to add multiple entries in you're winning trades.
Smart Money Trap (SMT): The SMT consists of all the Order Blocks that lie between the Extreme and OB-IDM. It acts as a cautionary signal, indicating potential traps for Smart Money Concept traders. It is essential to recognize that the SMT does not provide additional confirmation for trading. Instead, it highlights areas where traders should exercise extra caution. Trading decisions should be based on clear confirmations, such as inducements or liquidity sweeps, rather than solely on the SMT.
🔶 How to Use the True SMC Indicator:
The True SMC Indicator is designed to enhance your trading strategy by identifying key order blocks and market signals. Below is a guide on how to utilize the various elements of the True SMC Indicator:
OB IDM (Order Block Inducement):
Usage : This is a decisional order block crucial for identifying trade entries. It is particularly effective for pinpointing potential reversal zones.
Alerts: Setting up alerts on OB IDM is recommended to be notified when the price reaches this critical area, thus facilitating prompt and informed trading decisions.
OB-EXT (Extreme Order Block):
Usage : OB-EXT serves as an extreme and high-probability order block for trade entries, ideal for identifying strategic entry points at potential reversal points.
Alerts: Activating alerts on OB-EXT will keep you informed about price approaches, aiding in the preparation of your trade setups.
SCOB (Single Candle Order Block):
Usage : SCOB is ideal for scaling into a position. It should be employed for adding to positions when the market reacts to OB IDM or OB-EXT, indicating a potential reversal.
SMT (Smart Money Trap):
Usage Caution: The SMT should be approached with caution as it represents a potential trap. It is advised to avoid trading directly at SMT zones. Instead, use these zones to gauge market sentiment and make informed decisions.
This structured approach to using the True SMC Indicator will help you in making more precise and strategic trading decisions, enhancing your overall market analysis.

Its unique approach in analysing market structure centers on 'Inducement,' a key concept for pinpointing vital market structural markers. This feature, combined with its ability to alert traders to both promising entry points and potential Smart Money Traps, equips users with a comprehensive tool for a nuanced understanding of market dynamics and strategic trade execution. Such targeted capabilities make the True SMC Indicator an invaluable asset for traders seeking precision and efficiency in their market analysis.
Re-Anchoring Fibo LevelsThe " Re-Anchoring Fibo Levels " offers a dynamic and systematic approach on how to use Fibonacci retracements. The resistance levels are based on the all-time high and the subsequent lowest low. The support levels are based on the lowest low after the all-time high and the following highest high. This method provides traders with automatically updated support and resistance levels based on current significant pivot points.
How It Works
Resistance Levels: The levels are calculated based on the current all-time high and the following lowest low. This range is multiplied with the defined Fibonacci ratios and the levels are plotted.
Support Levels: The support levels are calculated based on the lowest low and highest high after and below the current all-time high. The range between those to pivot points is multiplied with the defined Fibonacci ratios and the levels are plotted.
How To Use
By comparing current prices to dynamically adjusted Fibonacci levels, traders can gain insights into the strength and potential direction of market trends and are also presented with potentially significant levels that can function either as resistance or support.
