Basic Logic Behind the Indicator:
The Smart Money Liquidity Heatmap utilizes the Smart Money Interest Index Indicator and operates by differentiating between the trading behaviors of informed (smart money) and less-informed (retail) traders. It calculates the differences between specific volume indices—Positive Volume Index (PVI) for retail investors and Negative Volume Index (NVI) for institutional players—and their respective moving averages, highlighting these differences using the Relative Strength Index (RSI) over user-specified periods. This calculation generates a ratio that is then normalized and compared against a threshold to identify areas of high institutional trading interest, visually representing these zones on your chart as vibrant heatmaps. This enables traders to visually identify where significant trading activities among smart money are occurring, potentially signalling important buying or selling opportunities.

🚀 Key Features:
Profile Type Selection: Choose between Volume Profile and Price Profile to best suit your analysis needs.
Adjustable Lookback Period: Modify the lookback period to consider more or less historical data for your profile.
Customizable Resolution and Scale: Tailor the resolution and horizontal scale of the profile for precision and clarity.
Trend Analysis Tools: Enable trend analysis with the option to display a weighted moving average of the POC.
Color-Coded Feedback: Utilize color gradients to quickly identify bullish and bearish conditions relative to the POC.
Interactive Visuals: Dynamic rendering of profiles and alerts for crossing events enhances visual feedback and responsiveness.
Multiple Customization Options: Smooth the POC line, toggle profile and fill visibility, and choose custom colors for various elements.
🖥️ How to Use:
🛠 Add the Indicator:
Add the indicator to favorites and customize settings like profile type, lookback period, and resolution to fit your trading style.
📊 Market Analysis:
Monitor the POC line for significant price levels. Use the histogram to understand price distributions and locate major market pivots.
🔔 Alerts Setup:
Enable alerts for price crossing over or under the POC, as well as for trend changes, to stay ahead of market movements without constant chart monitoring.
🛠️ How It Works:
The Rolling POC indicator dynamically calculates the Point of Control either based on volume or price within a user-defined lookback period. It plots a histogram (profile) that highlights the level at which the most trading activity has occurred, helping to identify key support and resistance levels.
Basic Logic Overview:
- Data Compilation: Gathers high, low, and volume (if volume profile selected) data within the lookback period.
- Histogram Calculation: Divides the price range into bins (as specified by resolution), counting hits in each bin to find the most frequented price level.
- POC Identification: The price level with the highest concentration of hits (or volume) is marked as the POC.
- Trend MA (Optional): If enabled, the indicator plots a moving average of the POC for trend analysis.
By integrating the Rolling Point of Control into your charting toolkit, you can significantly enhance your market analysis and potentially increase the accuracy of your trading decisions. Whether you're day trading or looking at longer time frames, this indicator offers a detailed, customizable perspective on market dynamics. 🌍💹
First In, First Out Moving AverageThis script is a tool designed to calculate a First In, First Out (FIFO) Moving Average (MA) using traded prices and volumes. Additionally, it computes the Point of Control (PoC) from, which identifies the price levels (developing POC) with the maximum volume. The script is built to provide traders with a comprehensive analysis of price movements and volume dynamics, enhancing their understanding of market trends and potential entry/exit points.
Understanding the Mechanics:
The script maintains arrays for prices and volumes, where hypothetical trades are added.
For long trades (identified by red candles/bars), traded prices and volumes are appended to the respective arrays.
Short trades (identified by green candles/bars) trigger the removal of volumes from the arrays following the FIFO principle.
This process ensures the adjustment of partial or complete removal of oldest entries based on traded volume.
Analyzing Profit and Loss (PnL):
The script also tracks a hypothetical Profit and Loss (PnL) to understand whether the outcome is in red (negative) or green (positive) - color of the FIFO MA.
Interpreting the Results:
Once the script is applied to the chart, traders can observe the FIFO Moving Average (MA) and Point of Control (PoC) lines plotted.
By analyzing these lines and the associated colors (indicating positive or negative PnL), traders can make informed decisions regarding market trends, support/resistance levels and potential trading opportunities.
Sequencer [LuxAlgo]The Sequencer indicator is a tool that is able to highlight sequences of prices based on their relative position to past prices, which allows a high degree of customization from the user.
Two phases are included in this script, a "Preparation" phase and a "Lead-Up" phase, each with a customizable amount of steps, as well as other characteristics.
Users can also highlight the last step leading to each phase completion with a level, this level can eventually be used as a key price point.
🔶 USAGE
The script highlights two phases, each being based on a sequence of events requiring prices to be higher/lower than prices various bars ago.
The completion of the preparation phase will lead to the evaluation of the lead-up phase, however, it isn't uncommon to see a reversal occurring after the completion of a preparation phase. In the script, bullish preparations are highlighted in green, while bearish preparations are highlighted in red.
Completion of a "Lead-Up" phase is indicative of a potential reversal, with a bullish reversal for the completion of a bullish lead-up (in blue), and a bearish reversal for the completion of a bearish lead-up (in orange).
Using a higher length for the preparation/lead-up phases can allow the detection of longer-term reversals.
Users wishing to display levels based on specific phases completion can do so from the settings in the "Preparation/Lead-Up Completion Levels" settings group.
The "Show Last" settings determine the amount of respective levels to display on the chart.
🔶 PREPARATION PHASE
The "Preparation" phase precedes the "Lead-Up" phase. The completion of this phase requires N successive prices to be lower than the closing price P bars ago for a bullish phase, and for prices to be higher than the closing price P bars ago for a bearish phase, where N is the user set "Preparation Phase Length" and P the user set "Comparison Period".
🔹 Refined Preparations
Sequences of the preparation phase can either be "Standard" or "Refined". Unlike the standard preparation previously described a refined preparation requires the low prices from the user-specified steps in "Refined Preparation Steps" to be above the low price of the last step for a bullish preparation phase, and for the high prices specified in the refined preparation steps to be below the high price of the last step for a bearish preparation phase.
🔶 LEAD-UP PHASE
The "Lead-Up" phase is initiated by the completion of the "Preparation" phase.
Completion of this phase requires the price to be lower than the low price P bars ago N times for a bullish phase, and for prices to be higher than the high price P bars ago N times for a bearish phase, where N is the user set "Lead-Up Phase Length" and P the user set "Comparison Period".
Unlike with the "Preparation" phase these conditions don't need to be successive for them to be valid and can occur at any time.
🔹 Lead-Up Cancellation
Incomplete "Lead-Up" phases can be canceled and removed from the chart once a preparation of the opposite sentiment is completed, avoiding lead-ups to be evaluated after completion of complete preparations.
This can be disabled by toggling off "Apply Cancellation".
🔹 Lead-Up Suspension
Like with refined preparations, we can require specific steps from the lead-up phase to be higher/lower than the price on the last step. This can be particularly important since we do not require lead-up steps to be successive.
For a bullish lead-up, the low of the last step must be lower than the minimum closing prices of the user-specified steps for it to be valid, while for a bearish lead-up, the high of the last step must be higher than the maximum closing prices of the user-specified steps for it to be valid.
This effectively allows for eliminating lead-up phases getting completed on opposite trends.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 Preparation Phase
Preparation Phase Length: Length of the "Preparation" phase.
Comparison Period: Offset used to compare current prices to past ones.
Preparation Type: Type of preparation to evaluate, options include "Standard" or "Refined"
Refined Preparations Steps: Steps to evaluate when preparation type is "Refined"
🔹 Lead-Up Phase
Lead-Up Phase Length: Length of the "Lead-Up" phase.
Comparison Period: Offset used to compare current prices to past ones.
Suspension: Applies suspension rule to evaluate lead-up completion.
Suspension Steps: Specifies the steps evaluated to determine if the lead-up referral is respected. Multiple steps are supported and should be comma-separated.
Apply Cancellation: Cancellation will remove any incomplete lead-up upon the completion of a new preparation phase of the opposite sentiment.
🔹 Levels
Bullish Preparations Levels: When enabled display price levels from completed bullish preparations.
Show Last: Number of most recent bullish preparations levels to display.
Bearish Preparations Levels: When enabled display price levels from completed bearish preparations.
Show Last: Number of most recent bearish preparations levels to display.
Dynamic Order Blocks [LuxAlgo]The Dynamic Order Blocks indicator displays the most recent unmitigated bullish and bearish order blocks on the chart, providing dynamic support/resistance areas.
When price sweeps an order block, this is highlighted by the script indicating a potential reversal.
The average between the displayed order blocks is also displayed.
🔶 USAGE
Order blocks are a popular method of price action analysis, representing price areas where more significant market participants accumulate their orders.
Displaying order blocks dynamically allows obtaining relevant areas of support/resistance. Users can obtain longer-term order blocks using a higher "Swing Lookback" setting.
Users can also use mitigation events to assess the current trend direction, with price mitigating a bearish order block (breaking above the upper extremity) indicating an uptrend, and price mitigating a bullish order block (breaking below the lower extremity) indicating a downtrend.
🔹 Average Level
An average level obtained from the displayed bullish and bearish order blocks is included in the indicator and offers an additional polyvalent dynamic support/resistance level.
The change of direction of the average line can also be indicative of the current trend direction.
🔹 Dynamic Sweeps
Price sweeping the mitigation level of an order block is highlighted on the chart using bordered rectangles. These highlight a breakout failure and can be indicative of a potential reversal.
🔶 SETTINGS
Swing Lookback: Period of the swing detection used to construct order blocks. Higher values will return longer-term order blocks.
Use Candle Body: Use the candle body as the order block area instead of the candle full range.
ZigZag Library [TradingFinder]🔵 Introduction
The "Zig Zag" indicator is an analytical tool that emerges from pricing changes. Essentially, it connects consecutive high and low points in an oscillatory manner. This method helps decipher price changes and can also be useful in identifying traditional patterns.
By sifting through partial price changes, "Zig Zag" can effectively pinpoint price fluctuations within defined time intervals.
🔵 Key Features
1. Drawing the Zig Zag based on Pivot points :
The algorithm is based on pivots that operate consecutively and alternately (switch between high and low swing). In this way, zigzag lines are connected from a swing high to a swing low and from a swing low to a swing high.
Also, with a very low probability, it is possible to have both low pivots and high pivots in one candle. In these cases, the algorithm tries to make the best decision to make the most suitable choice.
You can control what period these decisions are based on through the "PiPe" parameter.
2.Naming and labeling each pivot based on its position as "Higher High" (HH), "Lower Low" (LL), "Higher Low" (HL), and "Lower High" (LH).
Additionally, classic patterns such as HH, LH, LL, and HL can be recognized. All traders analyzing financial markets using classic patterns and Elliot Waves can benefit from the "zigzag" indicator to facilitate their analysis.
" HH ": When the price is higher than the previous peak (Higher High).
" HL ": When the price is higher than the previous low (Higher Low).
" LH ": When the price is lower than the previous peak (Lower High).
" LL ": When the price is lower than the previous low (Lower Low).
🔵 How to Use
First, you can add the library to your code as shown in the example below.
import TFlab/ZigZagLibrary_TradingFinder/1 as ZZ
Function "ZigZag" Parameters :
🟣 Logical Parameters
1. HIGH : You should place the "high" value here. High is a float variable.
2. LOW : You should place the "low" value here. Low is a float variable.
3. BAR_INDEX : You should place the "bar_index" value here. Bar_index is an integer variable.
4. PiPe : The desired pivot period for plotting Zig Zag is placed in this parameter. For example, if you intend to draw a Zig Zag with a Swing Period of 5, you should input 5.
PiPe is an integer variable.
Important :
Apart from the "PiPe" indicator, which is part of the customization capabilities of this indicator, you can create a multi-time frame mode for the indicator using 3 parameters "High", "Low" and "BAR_INDEX". In this way, instead of the data of the current time frame, use the data of other time frames.
Note that it is better to use the current time frame data, because using the multi-time frame mode is associated with challenges that may cause bugs in your code.
🟣 Setting Parameters
5. SHOW_LINE : It's a boolean variable. When true, the Zig Zag line is displayed, and when false, the Zig Zag line display is disabled.
6. STYLE_LINE : In this variable, you can determine the style of the Zig Zag line. You can input one of the 3 options: line.style_solid, line.style_dotted, line.style_dashed. STYLE_LINE is a constant string variable.
7. COLOR_LINE : This variable takes the input of the line color.
8. WIDTH_LINE : The input for this variable is a number from 1 to 3, which is used to adjust the thickness of the line that draws the Zig Zag. WIDTH_LINE is an integer variable.
9. SHOW_LABEL : It's a boolean variable. When true, labels are displayed, and when false, label display is disabled.
10. COLOR_LABEL : The color of the labels is set in this variable.
11. SIZE_LABEL : The size of the labels is set in this variable. You should input one of the following options: size.auto, size.tiny, size.small, size.normal, size.large, size.huge.
12. Show_Support : It's a boolean variable that, when true, plots the last support line, and when false, disables its plotting.
13. Show_Resistance : It's a boolean variable that, when true, plots the last resistance line, and when false, disables its plotting.
Suggestion :
You can use the following code snippet to import Zig Zag into your code for time efficiency.
//import Library

close price numberIn this script, we're creating a custom indicator to plot the previous day's closing price on the chart. This script retrieves the previous day's close using ta.change(time('d')) function. Then, it checks the value of the previous day's close and determines the increment accordingly input . Finally, it calculates the current day's close by adding the increment to the previous day's close and plots it on the chart.
The script can be integrated into a trading strategy to generate buy or sell signals based on the crossing closing price+increment line ...
Psychological Levels: previous day close price + increment numbers tend to have psychological significance in trading. Traders often pay attention to these levels because they represent key price levels that are easy to remember and widely recognized. When the price approaches these levels, traders may anticipate increased buying or selling pressure, leading to potential support or resistance.
For take profit and stop loss -Trader can use this as a take profit level on every previous day close+increment or close-decrement
buy signal-
1)whenever price cross any previous day close+number it give buy signal
2) i am using ma for filter buy signal we can enable and disable that function from input
sell signal-
1)whenever price cross any previous day close-number it give sell signal
2) i am using ma for filter sell signal we can enable and disable that function from input

ZigZag Multi [TradingFinder] Trend & Wave Lines - Structures🔵 Introduction
"Zigzag" is an indicator that forms based on price changes. Essentially, the function of this indicator is to connect consecutive and alternating High and Low pivots. This pattern assists in analyzing price changes and can also be used to identify classic patterns. "Zigzag" is an analytical tool that, by filtering partial price movements based on the specified period, can identify price waves across different time frames (short or long term).
🔵 Reason for Creation
The combination of "short term zigzag" and "long term zigzag" enhances accuracy and reduces analysis time. In a time frame, "long term zigzag" represents the main trend, while "short term zigzag" depicts short-term waves.
🔵 How to Use
After selecting the desired time frame and adding "zigzag" to the chart, begin utilization. Keep in mind to identify the main market trend from "long term zigzag" and the minor waves from "short term zigzag".
🟣 Important: Additionally, classic patterns such as HH, LH, LL, and HL can be recognized. All traders analyzing financial markets using classic patterns and Elliot Waves can benefit from the "zigzag" indicator to facilitate their analysis.
🔵 Settings
Short term zigzag : In this section, you can adjust settings such as time frame range, display mode, color, and line width of the zigzag lines.
Short term label : This section allows you to activate or deactivate the display of zigzag labels according to your needs. You can also customize their color and size.
Long term zigzag : Here, you can adjust settings for time frame range, display mode, color, and line width of zigzag lines.
Long term label : Similar to short term label settings.
The recommended time frame for "long term zigzag" is between 9 to 15, and for "short term zigzag" is between 3 to 5.
🟣 Important Notes :
Considering the different behaviors of financial markets and various time frames, it is recommended to experiment with different time frame settings when using "zigzag" to find the best settings for each symbol and time frame, thereby preventing potential errors.
🟣 Terminology Explanations :
"HH": When the price is higher than the previous peak (Higher High).
"HL": When the price is higher than the previous low (Higher Low).
"LH": When the price is lower than the previous peak (Lower High).
"LL": When the price is lower than the previous low (Lower Low).
On Balance Volume WaveIntroducing an Enhanced Version of the Classic OBV Indicator
The On-Balance Volume (OBV) indicator is a well-known tool among traders, celebrated for its ability to track momentum by using volume flow to predict changes in stock price. For an overview of the original OBV indicator, please visit: www.tradingview.com .
What Makes This Version Different?
This enhanced version of the OBV indicator incorporates advanced signal processing techniques to bring new depth to market analysis. Here's what sets it apart:
Standard Deviation Bands and EMAs: These additions to the OBV offer a visual representation of significant market movements—highlighting major pumps and dumps, as well as identifying potential support and resistance levels.
Color-Coded Insights: The standard deviation bands utilize color coding based on signal processing principles. This feature becomes increasingly useful the more you zoom out, making it easier to observe and interpret market waves.
Market Maker Activity: By examining fluctuations within the standard deviation bands, traders can gauge when Market Makers are actively maneuvering to establish their long and short positions, often at the expense of retail traders.
EMA Support and Resistance: The embedded Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) serve as dynamic support and resistance levels. Analyzing these can help traders determine the continuing strength of a market move, whether bullish or bearish.

FVG Detector [TradingFinder] Fair Value Gap-Imbalance-Mitigated🔵 Introduction
When the market makes a strong move in the form of a "Marubozu" or "Spike" candlestick and consecutive candles move without a retracement, the maximum place where a "FVG" or "Fair Value Gap" is created.
🔵 Definition
To describe this precisely, whenever a move occurs where the current candle does not cover the body of the previous and subsequent candles, a fair value gap is created.
Important : The significant point is that, because there is no equilibrium between buyers and sellers in these conditions, and market power is in the hands of buyers or sellers, the market is likely to move towards these areas.
An example of "FVG" in a price increase where we expect buying on the return to it.
An example of "FVG" in a downward trend where the market will move towards it in a downward direction.
🔵 How to Use
🟣 Bearish FVG
In a downward trend, "orange boxes" are drawn, which are the same and can act as "support" zones along the downward path, and we expect the price to continue its downward trend on return.
🟣 Bullish FVG
In an upward trend, "green boxes" are drawn, which are . They act exactly like support in the upward path, and we expect the price to continue its upward trend on return.
🟣 Auxiliary Definitions
Imbalance : As mentioned above, market power is in the hands of one of the two sides, buyers or sellers, and a non-equilibrium zone is created. It may be completed in whole or in part in subsequent price movements.
Mitigated : If the price returns to the "FVG" area and fills it, we call it "Mitigated," and most "pending" or "profit and loss limits" positions are executed. We will not have a specific reaction on the return of the price.
🔵 Settings
Very Aggressive : In addition to the initial condition, another condition is added. For an upward FVG, the maximum price of the last candle should be larger than the middle candle's maximum price. Similarly, for a downward FVG, the minimum price of the last candle should be smaller than the middle candle's minimum price. In this mode, a very small number of FVGs are eliminated.
Aggressive : In addition to the conditions of the Very Aggressive mode, in this mode, the size of the middle candle should not be small. In this mode, a larger number of FVGs are eliminated.
Defensive : In addition to the conditions of the Very Aggressive mode, in this mode, the size of the middle candle should be relatively large, and the majority of it should be made up of the body. Additionally, to identify upward FVGs, the second and third candles must be positive, and to identify downward FVGs, the second and third candles must be negative. In this mode, a large number of FVGs are eliminated, leaving only those with suitable quality.
Very Defensive : In addition to the conditions of the Defensive mode, the first and third candles should not be very small-bodied doji candles. In this mode, the majority of FVGs are filtered out, leaving only the highest quality ones.
🔵 Features
Show Demand FVG : Displays demand-related boxes, which can be "off" and "on."
Show Supply FVG : Displays supply-related boxes along the path, and can be turned "off" and "on."
🔵 Indicator Advantages
In this indicator, I have implemented 4 types of "filters" that allow you to select one based on the trading symbol, timeframe, etc. From "Very Aggressive" to "Very Defensive" mode, it is possible to select.
In most indicators, all FVGs are displayed, and the chart becomes full of lines. But this unique feature allows the trader to manage the drawing of boxes.
Order Blocks Finder [TradingFinder] Major OB | Supply and Demand🔵 Introduction
Drawing all order blocks on the path, especially in range-bound or channeling markets, fills the chart with lines, making it confusing rather than providing the trader with the best entry and exit points.
🔵 Reason for Indicator Creation
For traders familiar with market structure and only need to know the main accumulation points (best entry or exit points), and primary order blocks that act as strong sources of power.
🟣 Important Note
All order blocks, both ascending and descending, are identified and displayed on the chart when the structure of "BOS" or "CHOCH" is broken, which can also be identified with "MSS."
🔵 How to Use
When the indicator is installed, it plots all order blocks (active order blocks) and continues until the price reaches them. This continuation happens in boxes to have a better view in the TradingView chart.
Green Range : Ascending order blocks where we expect a price increase in these areas.
Red Range : Descending order blocks where we expect a price decrease in these areas.
🔵 Settings
Order block refine setting : When Order block refine is off, the supply and demand zones are the entire length of the order block (Low to High) in their standard state and cannot be improved. If you turn on Order block refine, supply and demand zones will improve using the error correction algorithm.
Refine type setting : Improving order blocks using the error correction algorithm can be done in two ways: Defensive and Aggressive. In the Aggressive method, the largest possible range is considered for order blocks.
🟣 Important
The main advantage of the Aggressive method is minimizing the loss of stops, but due to the widening of the supply or demand zone, the reward-to-risk ratio decreases significantly. The Aggressive method is suitable for individuals who take high-risk trades.
In the Defensive method, the range of order blocks is minimized to their standard state. In this case, fewer stops are triggered, and the reward-to-risk ratio is maximized in its optimal state. It is recommended for individuals who trade with low risk.
Show high level setting : If you want to display major high levels, set show high level to Yes.
Show low level setting : If you want to display major low levels, set show low level to Yes.
🔵 How to Use
The general view of this indicator is as follows.
When the price approaches the range, wait for the price reaction to confirm it, such as a pin bar or divergence.
If the price passes with a strong candle (spike), especially after a long-range or at the beginning of sessions, a powerful event is happening, and it is outside the credibility level.
An Example of a Valid Zone
An Example of Breakout and Invalid Zone. (My suggestion is not to use pending orders, especially when the market is highly volatile or before and after news.)
After reaching this zone, expect the price to move by at least the minimum candle that confirmed it or a price ceiling or floor.
🟣 Important : These factors can be more accurately measured with other trend finder indicators provided.
🔵 Auxiliary Tools
There is much talk about not using trend lines, candlesticks, Fibonacci, etc., in the web space. However, our suggestion is to create and use tools that can help you profit from this market.
• Fibonacci Retracement
• Trading Sessions
• Candlesticks
🔵 Advantages
• Plotting main OBs without additional lines;
• Suitable for timeframes M1, M5, M15, H1, and H4;
• Effective in Tokyo, Sydney, and London sessions;
• Plotting the main ceiling and floor to help identify the trend.
Support and Resistance with Signals [UAlgo]🔶 Description:
"Support and Resistance with Signals ", is designed to identify key support and resistance levels on a trading chart while also signaling potential retests (denoted as "R") and breakouts (denoted as "B"). The indicator dynamically plots support and resistance lines based on pivot points and adjusts them according to price action and sensitivity settings. It aims to assist traders in identifying significant price levels and potential reversal or breakout opportunities.
🔶 Key Features:
Pivot Points: The indicator calculates pivot highs and pivot lows based on a specified period length (Checks Left and Right bars). Adjust the length of the pivot period to control the sensitivity of support and resistance levels according to the your preferences.
Support and Resistance Lines: It plots support and resistance lines at the pivot high and pivot low points, respectively.
Retest and Breakout Signals: Signals are generated based on the sensitivity setting, which adds/subtracts a portion (half) of the Average True Range (ATR) to the pivot points. A retest signal ("R") is generated when the price approaches the support or resistance level within the sensitivity range. A breakout signal ("B") is generated when the price surpasses the support or resistance level.
Sensitivity (ATR Length): Modify the retest-breakout sensitivity length to fine-tune the generation of signals based on price volatility.
Maximum Lines : Limit the number of support and resistance lines displayed on the chart for clarity.
Line Colors and Width: Customize the colors and width of support and resistance lines for better visualization.
More Examples:
Before Retest Signal:
When the price enters the retest range at the specified sensitivity:

Trading involves risk, and users should conduct their own research and analysis before making any investment decisions. The retest and breakout signals generated by this indicator are based on historical price data and may not guarantee future results. Users should exercise caution and use additional confirmation methods before entering any trades based on the signals provided by this indicator.
Happy Trading !
VWAP LEVELS [PRO]32 VWAP levels with labels and a table to help you identify quickly where current price is in relation to your favorite VWAP pivot levels. To help reduce cognitive load, 4 colors are used to show you where price is in relation to a VWAP level as well as the strength of that respective level. Ultimately, VWAP 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. Many traders will wait till a bar's close on the 5m or 10m time frame above a VWAP level (developing 1D VWAP would be a popular choice) before making a decision on a potential trade especially if price is rising above the 1D VWAP *and* there's been a recent 100 EMA cross UP of the 200 EMA. These are 2 bullish signals that you could look for before possibly entering in to a trade.
I've made this indicator extremely customizable:
⚡Each VWAP level has 2 labels: 1 "at level" and 1 "at right", each label and price can be disabled
⚡Each VWAP 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. However, the "at level" label padding input doesn't work the same way once you move the label out of the "0" input. The label will move slightly when you zoom in and out
⚡Both "current" and "previous" VWAP levels have their own plot style that can be changed from circles, crosses and lines
⚡Significant figures input allows you to round a price up or down
⚡A price line that allows you to identify where price is in relation to a VWAP level
⚡A table that's color coded the same way as the labels. The labels and table cells change to 1 of 4 colors when "OC Check Mode" is enabled. This theory examines if the VWAP from the Open is above or below the VWAP from Close and if price is above or below normal VWAP (HLC3). This way we have 4 states:
Red = Strong Downtrend
Light Red = Weak Downtrend
Light = Weak Uptrend
Green = Strong Uptrend
Something to keep in mind: At the start of a new year, week or month, some levels will converge and they'll eventually diverge slowly or quickly depending on the level and/or time frame. You could add a few labels "at level" to show which levels are converging at the time. Since we're at the beginning of a new year, you'll see current month, 2 month, 3 month etc converge in to one level.

Zigzag Tails [Trendoscope®] 🎲 Introducing Zigzag Tails Indicator by Trendoscope.
The Zigzag Tails Indicator, a groundbreaking tool from Trendoscope, redefines technical analysis by seamlessly integrating anchored VWAPs (Volume Weighted Average Prices) and Average Price calculations with Zigzag pivot points. This advanced indicator recalculates Average Price or VWAP from one Zigzag pivot to the next, offering unparalleled insights into market movements.
🎯 Innovative Design
Each Zigzag pivot can feature up to three distinct tails, corresponding to the high, low, and close prices of each candle. Users have the flexibility to select between Average Price and VWAP for display on their charts. By default, the indicator plots all three tails, but individual tail visibility is customizable via the settings panel.
Average Price Mode: When selected, tails depict the average price across a specified number of bars.
VWAP Mode: In this mode, tails represent the VWAP, calculated for a given price over a set number of bars.
🎯 Dynamic Dotted Tail
The Zigzag Tails Indicator features dotted tails that extend from the last Zigzag pivot to the current bar. These dotted tails dynamically adapt to market changes and are subject to repainting with the emergence of new Zigzag pivots.
When repainting is enabled, the dotted tails originate from the last unconfirmed Zigzag pivot, extending to the current bar. This setting offers a more immediate, albeit tentative, visual representation of market trends.
With repainting disabled, the dotted tails will be anchored from the last confirmed Zigzag pivot to the current bar, providing a more stable but slightly delayed market analysis.
Irrespective of the repaint option, the dotted dynamic tails is always expected to repaint.
🎯 Practical Applications
The Zigzag Tails Indicator provides more accurate support and resistance levels than traditional VWAP, rolling VWAP, or moving averages. Its precision makes it an invaluable tool for identifying trends, as well as potential trend continuations or reversals.
🛠 Indicator Settings
Zigzag Configuration:
Zigzag Length determines the loopback length for the foundational Zigzag calculation.
Number of Bars represent the calculation distance. This limitation is added to avoid runtime errors on lower timeframes. The calculations run through lots of loops. Hence, if it is run across too many bars, we may get timeout issues.
Repaint: Activating this will also display the last, unconfirmed Zigzag pivot. Since the last pivot is inherently tentative, it may repaint with the arrival of new bars. A pivot is confirmed only when a subsequent unconfirmed pivot emerges on the chart.
Tail Configuration
Tail Type: Choose between average and VWAP for the tail calculation. The average option plots a simple average, while the VWAP option calculates an anchored VWAP from pivot to pivot.
Display Options: Tailored display options for High, Low, Close prices, with customizable colors for each tail type.
Inspired by the ideas of @KioseffTrading's implementation of Zigzag Anchored VWAP
Peak & Valley Levels [AlgoAlpha]The Peak & Valley Levels indicator is a sophisticated script designed to pinpoint key support and resistance levels in the market. By utilizing candle length and direction, it accurately identifies potential reversal points, offering traders valuable insights for their strategies.
Core Components:
Peak and Valley Detection: The script recognizes peaks and valleys in price action. Peaks (potential resistance levels) are identified when a candle is longer than the previous one, changes direction, and closes lower, especially on lower volume. Valleys (potential support levels) are detected under similar conditions but with the candle closing higher.
Color-Coded Visualization:
Red lines mark resistance levels, signifying peaks in the price action.
Green lines indicate support levels, representing valleys.
Dynamic Level Adjustment: The script adapts these levels based on ongoing market movements, enhancing their relevance and accuracy.
Rejection Functions:
Bullish Rejection: Determines if a candlestick pattern rejects a level as potential support.
Bearish Rejection: Identifies if a pattern rejects a level as possible resistance.
Usage and Strategy Integration:
Visual Aid for Support and Resistance: The indicator is invaluable for visualizing key market levels where price reversals may occur.
Entry and Exit Points: Traders can use the identified support and resistance levels to fine-tune entry and exit points in their trading strategies.
Trend Reversal Signals: The detection of peaks and valleys serves as an early indicator of potential trend reversals.
Application in Trading:
Versatile for Various Trading Styles: This indicator can be applied across different trading styles, including swing trading, scalping, or trend-following approaches.
Complementary Tool: For best results, it should be used alongside other technical analysis tools to confirm trading signals and strategies.
Customization and Adaptability: Traders are encouraged to experiment with different settings and timeframes to tailor the indicator to their specific trading needs and market conditions.
In summary, the Peak & Valley Levels by AlgoAlpha is a dynamic and adaptable tool that enhances a trader’s ability to identify crucial market levels. Its integration of candlestick analysis with dynamic level adjustment offers a robust method for spotting potential reversal points, making it a valuable addition to any trader's toolkit.
Kernel Regression RibbonKernel Regression Ribbon is a flexible, visually pleasing trend identification tool. Plotting 8 different kernel regressions of different types and parameters allows the user to see where levels of support and resistance are being tested, retested and broken.
What’s Kernel Regression?
A statistical method for estimating the best fitting curve for a dataset, in this case, a time/price chart.
How’s Kernel Regression different from a Moving Average?
A Moving Average is basically a simple form of Kernel Regression, in that it uses a fixed (Retangular) Kernel function. In an MA, all data points are weighted equally over its length. However, a Kernel function reacts more to data points that are closer to the current point. This means it will adapt more quickly to changes in data than an MA. Due to this adaptability, Kernel functions often form part of Machine Learning.
Using this indicator:
Explore the default Regular mode first to get a feel for the inputs, which are more numerous than for MAs. Try out different settings, filters and intervals to get the best out of each kernel. Not all parameters are available for each KR. There are info tips to explain this in the menu, but I’ve also included handy, optional labels on the chart for each KR as a more accessible guide.
Once you know your way round the Regular mode, check out the Presets and start changing the parameters of each kernel to your liking in the “User KR1, KR2, … “ mode. Each kernel type has its strong and weak points. Blending different kernels is where this indicator comes into its own. Give your charts a funky shine!
This indicator does NOT repaint.
This script acknowledges, and hopefully showcases, the great work of @veryfid Kernel Regression Toolkit.
Liquidation Levels [LuxAlgo]The Liquidation Levels indicator aims at detecting and estimating potential price levels where large liquidation events may occur.
By analyzing liquidation Levels, traders can identify potential support & resistance levels, identify stop-loss levels, and gauge market sentiment and potential areas of price volatility.
🔶 USAGE
Liquidation refers to the process of forcibly closing a trader's leveraged positions in the market. It occurs when a trader's margin account can no longer support their open positions due to significant losses or a lack of sufficient margin to meet the maintenance margin requirements.
Liquidation events happen at all times and the script focuses on detecting the most significant ones. Bubbles will appear on the relevant price bar when larger trading activity has been detected. Larger bubbles represent more significant potential liquidation levels. The lines attached to the bubbles represent the liquidation zones at that price.
These liquidation levels are based on clusters of price points where highly leveraged traders open long or short positions. High leverage is identified as 100x, 50x, and 25x leverages used for both long and short positions. The script allows users to either remove or customize leverage levels.
Price generally heads towards zones or clusters of liquidity.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹Liquidation Levels
Reference Price: defines the base price in calculating liquidation levels.
Volume Threshold: The volume threshold is the primary factor in detecting the significant trading activities that could potentially lead to liquidating leveraged positions.
Volatility Threshold: The volatility threshold option is the secondary factor that aims at detecting significant movement in the underlying asset’s price with relatively lower trading activities that could potentially also lead to liquidating high-leveraged positions.
Leverage Options: The leverage options are where the trader will set the desired leverage value and customize the potential liquidation level colors.
Hide Liquidation Bubbles: Toggles the visibility of the bubbles.
Hide Liquidation Levels: Toggles the visibility of the lines.

Anticipated Close Calculation : Offers a projected closing price for the current timeframe, based on a myriad of factors.
This indicator is particularly effective with cryptocurrencies due to their inherent volatility. It's also compatible with stocks and is most efficient with tickers that provide volume data.
Range Detector [LuxAlgo]The Range Detector indicator aims to detect and highlight intervals where prices are ranging. The extremities of the ranges are highlighted in real-time, with breakouts being indicated by the color changes of the extremities.
🔶 USAGE
Ranging prices are defined by a period of stationarity, that is where prices move within a specific range.
Detecting ranging markets is a common task performed manually by traders. Price breaking one of the extremities of a range can be indicative of a new trend, with an uptrend if price breaks the upper range extremity, and a downtrend if price breaks the lower range extremity.
Ranges are highlighted as zones and are set retrospectively, that is the starting point of a range is offset in the past. The exact moment a range is detected is highlighted by a gray background color. The average between the maximum/minimum of a zone is also highlighted as a dotted line and is also set retrospectively.
The range extremities are set in real-time, blue extremities indicate the range extremities were not broken, green extremities indicate that price broke the upper range extremity, while red extremities indicate price broke the lower range extremity.
Extremities are extended until a new range is detected, allowing past ranges extremities can be used as future support/resistances.
🔶 DETAILS
The detection algorithm used to detect ranges tests if all the prices within a user-set window are all within two extremities. These extremities are determined by the mean of the detection window plus/minus an ATR value.
When a new range is detected, the script checks if this new range overlaps with a previously detected range, if this is the case, both ranges are merged into one; updating the extremities of the previous range.
This can be observed with the real-time extremities changing within a highlighted zone.
🔶 SETTINGS
Minimum Range Length: Minimum amount of bars needed to detect a range.
Range Width: Multiplicative factor for the ATR used to detect new ranges. Lower values detect ranges with a lower width. Using higher values might return false positives.
ATR Length: ATR length used to determine the range width.
Histogram-based price zonesThis indicator provides a new approach to creating price zones that can be used as support and resistance. The approach does not use pivot points or Fibonacci levels. Instead, it uses the frequency of occurence of local maxima and minima to determine zones of interest where price often changed direction.
The algorithm is as follows:
- Gather price data from the last Lookback trading periods
- Calculate rolling minima and rolling maxima along the price points with window size Window size
- Build a histogram from the rolling extrema which are binned into different zones. The number of bins and therefore the width of a zone can be adjusted with the parameter Zone width factor
- Select only the top fullest bins. The number of bins selected for plotting can be controlled with Zone multiplier
The result are a number of boxes that appear on the chart which mark levels of interest to watch for. You can combine multiple instances of this indicator on different settings to find zones that are very relevant.
Shown as an example is the Nasdaq 100 futures ( NQ1! ) on the D timeframe with levels built from the last 100 periods with default settings. The boxes are the only output of the indicator, no signals are created.
Support and Resistance: Triangles [YinYangAlgorithms]Overview:
Triangles have always been known to be the strongest shape. Well, why wouldn’t that likewise apply to trading? This Indicator will create Upwards and Downwards Triangles which in turn create Support and Resistance locations. For example, we find 2 highs that meet the criteria (within deviation %, Minimum Distance and Lookback Distance). We calculate the distance between these two and create an Equilateral Triangle Downwards (You can adjust the % if you want more of an Isosceles Triangle). The midpoint (tip) of this triangle is the Support and the bottom (base) of it is the Resistance. The exact opposite applies for an Upwards Triangle.
The reason why Triangles may make for good Support and Resistance locations is the % 's used, much like the fibonacci, use ratios relevant in nature and everywhere in the world around us, so why not for trading too?
Tutorial:
If you look at the locations we’ve circled above, all of them exhibit strong rejections are predictive Support and Resistance locations plotted by the triangles created. There can only ever be 1 Upward and 1 Downward Triangle at a time, so when a new one is created, the Support and Resistance locations are moved.
If you scroll back far enough you’ll notice the Triangles disappear but their Support and Resistance locations are still plotted. This has to do with the fact you are allowed only so many Lines plotted and when a new Triangle is created, an old one will be removed. The Support and Resistance locations however will stay.
If we look at the example above, you can see the Support and Resistance locations the Triangles made here may have helped predict where the price would struggle to surpass.
By default the Look Back Distance is set to 50 and the Min Distance is 10 (settings used in all previous examples). However, you can modify these to make Triangles more ‘Rare’ and therefore the Support and Resistance locations change less. In the example above for Instance we left Look Back Distance to 50 but changed Min Distance from 10 to 25. This results in Support and Resistance locations that may hold better in the long term.
If we scroll back a bit, we can see the settings ‘Look Back Distance’ 50 and ‘Minimum Distance’ 25 had done a decent job at predicting the ATH resistance and many Support and Resistance locations around it. Keep in mind, previous results don’t mean future results, but Triangles may create ratios which apply well to trading.
We will conclude our Tutorial here. Hopefully you can see the benefit to the ratio Triangles make when predicting Support and Resistance locations.
Settings:
Show Triangles: If all you want to know is the Support and Resistance locations, there’s no need to draw the Triangles.
Triangle Zones: What types of triangles should we create our zones for? Options are Upward, Downward, Both, None.
Max Deviation Allowed: Maximum Deviation up or down from the last bars High/Low for potential to create a Triangle.
Lookback Distance: How far back we look to see for potential of a High/Low within Deviation range.
Min Distance: This is so triangles are spaced properly and not from 2 bars beside each other. Min distance allocated between 2 points to create a Triangle.
Bar Percent Increase: How much % multiplier do we apply for each bar spacing of the triangle. 0.005 creates a close to Equilateral Triangle, but other values like 0.004 and 0.006 seem to work well too.

Volumetric Toolkit [LuxAlgo]The Volumetric Toolkit is a complete and comprehensive set of tools that display price action-related analysis methods from volume data.
A total of 4 features are included within the toolkit. Symbols that do not include volume data will not be supported by the script.
🔶 USAGE
The volumetric toolkit puts a heavy focus on price action, returning support/resistance levels, ranges, volume divergences...etc.
The main premise between each feature is that volume has a direct relationship with market participants level of interest over a specific symbol, and that this interest is not constant over time.
Each individual feature is detailed below.
🔹 Ranges Of Interest
The Ranges Of Interest construct a range from a surge of high liquidity in the market. This range is constructed from the price high and price low of the candle with the associated significant liquidity.
The returned extremities can be used as support and resistance, with breakouts often being accompanied by significant liquidity as well, suggesting potential trend continuations.
The length setting associated with this feature determines how sensitive the range detection algorithm is to volume, with higher values requiring more significant volume in order to display a new range.
🔹 Impulses
Impulses highlight times when volume makes a new higher high while the price makes a new higher high or lower low, suggesting increased market participation.
When this occurs when the price makes a new higher high the impulse is considered bullish (green), if the price makes a new lower low the impulse is bearish (red).
Impulses occurring within an established trend opposite to it (e.g a bearish impulse on an uptrend) might be indicative of reversals.
The length setting works similarly to the previously described ranges of interest, with higher values requiring longer-term volume higher high and price higher high/lower low, highlighting more significant impulse and potentially longer-term reversals.
🔹 Levels Of Interest
Levels of interest display price levels of significant trading activity, contrary to the range of interest only the closing price is taken into account, also volume peaks are used to detect significant trading activity.
Note that this feature is subject to backpainting, that is lines are set retrospectively.
Users can determine the amount of most recent levels to display on the chart. These can be used as classical support/resistances.
🔹 Volume Divergence
We define volume divergence as a decreased market participation while a trend is still developing.
More precisely volume divergences are highlighted if volume makes a lower high while price is making a new higher high/lower low.
This can be indicative of a lack of further participation in the current trend, indicating a potential reversal.
Using higher length values will return longer-term divergences.
Note that this feature is subject to backpainting, that is lines are set retrospectively.
