Akkerman IMB + Targets IndicatorAkkerman IMB + Targets Indicator
The Akkerman IMB + Targets Indicator is a powerful tool for traders who use the Smart Money Concept (SMC) methodology for intraday trading. This indicator combines several key elements of technical analysis, such as IMB (Imbalance) zones, liquidity zones, and intraday targets, to help traders identify significant levels on the chart for potential entry and exit points.
Main Features of the Indicator:
IMB (Imbalance) Zones:
The indicator detects IMB zones (imbalances) on the chart, which are often significant for the market because these zones can signal unsupported price moves where the market may either retrace or continue the move.
Green box — indicates a bullish IMB, where the price moves downward but does not reach the previous "low" level.
Red box — indicates a bearish IMB, where the price moves upward but does not reach the previous "high" level.
Liquidity Zones:
The indicator automatically identifies liquidity zones, which are critical levels for potential retracements or breakouts. These zones are determined by equal highs and lows on the chart (where the price has made similar highs or lows).
Triangles or lines highlight levels where significant buy or sell orders might be gathered.
Intraday Target Lines:
The indicator generates targets for intraday trading based on support and resistance levels over the last 10 periods.
These target lines on the chart indicate potential entry or exit points based on the lowest and highest prices over the past 10 bars, which represent key points for trading within the current session.
Indicator Settings:
Show IMB: Toggle to show or hide IMB zones on the chart.
Show Liquidity Zones: Toggle to show or hide liquidity zones on the chart.
Show Targets (Intraday): Toggle to show or hide intraday target lines.
Max Targets (maxTargets): Set the maximum number of targets to display on the chart.
How to Use:
IMB Zones help identify potential retracement or breakout zones on the market. These zones are a critical part of Smart Money analysis, as markets often retrace to these areas after significant price moves.
Liquidity Zones provide clues about where large orders may be gathered, which could lead to a retracement or breakout.
Intraday Targets assist in identifying important levels for entering or exiting trades within the current session to take advantage of short-term price movements.
Important Notes:
This indicator works best on the 1-hour timeframe (H1) for more accurate and stable signals.
For maximum effectiveness, it is recommended to combine this indicator with other technical indicators and analysis methods.

Stoch_RSIStochastic RSI – Advanced Divergence Indicator
This custom indicator is an advanced version of the Stochastic RSI that not only smooths and refines the classic RSI input but also automatically detects both regular and hidden divergences using two powerful methods: fractal-based and pivot-based detection. Originally inspired by contributions from @fskrypt, @RicardoSantos, and later improved by developers like @NeoButane and @FYMD, this script has been fully refined for clarity and ease-of-use.
Key Features:
Dual Divergence Detection:
Fractal-Based Divergence: Uses a four-candle pattern to confirm top and bottom fractals for bullish and bearish divergences.
Pivot-Based Divergence: Employs TradingView’s built-in pivot functions for an alternate view of divergence conditions.
Customizable Settings:
The inputs are organized into logical groups (Stoch RSI settings, Divergence Options, Labels, and Market Open Settings) allowing you to adjust smoothing periods, RSI and Stochastic lengths, and divergence thresholds with a user-friendly interface.
Visual Enhancements:
Plots & Fills: The indicator plots both the K and D lines with corresponding fills and horizontal bands for quick visual reference.
Divergence Markers: Diamond shapes and labeled markers indicate regular and hidden divergences on the chart.
Market Open Highlighting: Optional histogram plots highlight the market open candle based on different timeframes for stocks versus non-forex symbols.
Intrinsic Event (Multi DC OS)Overview
This indicator implements an event-based approach to analyze price movements in the foreign exchange market, inspired by the intrinsic time framework introduced in Fractals and Intrinsic Time - A Challenge to Econometricians by U. A. Müller et al. (1995). It identifies significant price events using an intrinsic time perspective and supports multi-agent analysis to reflect the heterogeneous nature of financial markets. The script plots these events as lines and labels on the chart, offering a visual tool for traders to understand market dynamics at different scales.
Key Features
Intrinsic Events : The indicator detects directional change (DC) and overshoot (OS) events based on user-defined thresholds (delta), aligning with the paper’s concept of intrinsic time (Section 6). Intrinsic time redefines time based on market activity, expanding during volatile periods and contracting during inactive ones, rather than relying on a physical clock.
Multi-Agent Analysis : Supports up to five agents, each with its own threshold and color settings, reflecting the heterogeneous market hypothesis (Section 5). This allows the indicator to capture the perspectives of market participants with different time horizons, such as short-term FX dealers and long-term central banks.
How It Works
Intrinsic Events Detection : The script identifies two types of events using intrinsic time principles:
Directional Change (DC) : Triggered when the price reverses by the threshold (delta) against the current trend (e.g., a drop by delta in an uptrend signals a "Down DC").
Overshoot (OS) : Occurs when the price continues in the trend direction by the threshold (e.g., a rise by delta in an uptrend signals an "Up OS").
DC events are plotted as solid lines, and OS events as dashed lines, with labels like "Up DC" or "OS Down" for clarity. The label style adjusts based on the trend to ensure visibility.
Multi-Agent Setup : Each agent operates independently with its own threshold, mimicking market participants with varying time horizons (Section 5). Smaller thresholds detect frequent, short-term events, while larger thresholds capture broader, long-term movements.
Settings
Each agent can be configured with:
Enable Agent : Toggle the agent on or off.
Threshold (%) : The percentage threshold (delta) for detecting DC and OS events (default values: 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.5%, 1%, 2% for agents 1–5).
Up Mode Color : Color for lines and labels in up mode (DC events).
Down Mode Color : Color for lines and labels in down mode (OS events).
Usage Notes
This indicator is designed for the foreign exchange market, leveraging its high liquidity, as noted in the paper (Section 1). Adjust the threshold values based on the instrument’s volatility—higher volatility leads to more intrinsic events (Section 4). It can be adapted to other markets where event-based analysis applies.
Reference
The methodology is based on:
Fractals and Intrinsic Time - A Challenge to Econometricians by U. A. Müller, M. M. Dacorogna, R. D. Davé, O. V. Pictet, R. B. Olsen, and J. R. Ward (June 28, 1995). Olsen & Associates Preprint.

The Silver Lining – GSR🍯 This tool converts the Gold/Silver Ratio (GSR) into a precision timing lens for short-term traders operating inside digital silver markets. It reveals structural dominance, trend exhaustion, and regime inflection by comparing the GSR to its smoothed baseline and historical percentile rhythm. On high timeframes (1D+), it reflects macroeconomic sentiment shifts 📈.
🧐 The lower the timeframe, the higher the alpha; the 15m and 1h charts are where you will the hidden pots of gold. For LTF traders, it becomes a hyper-responsive bias filter — especially when paired with volatility-based confirmation systems like SUPeR TReND 2.718, as shown.
🧠 The core logic compares the GSR (gold ÷ silver) against a user-defined moving average (VWMA or EMA). A color-coded fill shifts based on direction: amber when gold leads, teal when silver gains strength. Percentile bands (20th, 50th, 80th) map structural zones — helping traders anchor trades based on confluence, not hype.
📊 In the example chart, four theoretical long trades are shown on the 1h chart, manually drawn on the 15m timeframe. Each begins when the GSR reverses from the 80th percentile or breaks below its MA. The trades occur precisely as silver tested support, with confirmation from SUPeR TReND’s trend shift. Although idealized, these aren’t guesses — they are compression-to-expansion sequences backed by macro relative strength flow. Several yielded gains exceeding 4%.
🏆 Best-case long trades occur when GSR rotates down through the 50th percentile and silver catches a reactive bid. Shorts appear when GSR rises through the upper percentile band while silver fails to hold key intraday levels. The percentile bands function like behavioral tiers:
🥈 Below 20th = Silver Dominance
⚠️ Around 50th = Crossover Area
🥇 Above 80th = Gold Dominance
🥈 Why silver? It’s faster, more emotional, and more manipulated than gold — which paradoxically makes it more tradable on low timeframes. Its range-bound nature is ideal for rinse-and-repeat systems. Because we trade the derivative (XAGUSD), there’s no friction or delivery constraint — just price action, clean and liquid.
⚖️ The underlying strategy isn’t just technical; it’s alchemical. The system begins with short-term trading in digital silver and funnels gains into physical gold — converting volatility into wealth. Over time, this establishes a perpetual motion model: when profits allow, trade silver, extract value, cash out and convert into gold. The account stays active, and the hedge keeps growing.
🔁 The Silver Lining isn’t a signal engine. It’s a structural overlay. It tells you when the market’s invisible bias is shifting — so your tactics stay aligned with macro rhythm.
🌊 Silver moves fast. Gold moves first. The Silver Lining helps you bridge that gap — with clarity, confluence, and edge.
FRACTAL DIMENSIONSFRACTAL DIMENSIONS was created to allow us to properly visualize
the higher time frame dimensional data, While remaining on a lower
time frame. The Fractal dimensions are basically the higher time frames.
Remaining on a lower time frame allows us to get tighter entries and exits.
Each dimension is set in a wave degree formation. From primary to sub-minute,
depending on the time frame being utilized.
These multidimensional wave degrees will be utilized later in the strategy.
This indicator was broken off of the whole for the sake of drawing lines.
The data here is just for debugging purposes and is not used in the strategy,
but yet remains pretty awesome by itself.
Fractal dimensions is the foundation of the main strategy to come.

fractal candle The fractal candle technical indicator to identify potential trend reversals in financial markets. It works by counting a series of price bars and looking for specific patterns that indicate when a trend is likely to reverse.
How the Indicator Works:
Counting Candles:
The indicator compares the closing price of the current candle with the closing price from 4 candles ago.
If the current close is higher, the bullish (buy) count increases.
If the current close is lower, the bearish (sell) count increases.
When a count reaches 9 or 13, it may signal a trend reversal.
Buy and Sell Setup:
A buy setup occurs when there have been 9 consecutive candles where each close is lower than the close 4 candles before. This suggests a possible bullish reversal.
A sell setup occurs when there have been 9 consecutive candles where each close is higher than the close 4 candles before. This suggests a possible bearish reversal.
Support and Resistance Levels:
The indicator tracks previous highs and lows during buy/sell setups to identify potential support and resistance levels.
These levels can help traders decide where price might reverse or consolidate.
Candle Coloring for Visual Aid:
The script changes candle colors:
Red for sell signals 📉
Green for buy signals 📈
Different shades for overshoot conditions (extended trends)
ICT Bread and Butter Sell-SetupICT Bread and Butter Sell-Setup – TradingView Strategy
Overview:
The ICT Bread and Butter Sell-Setup is an intraday trading strategy designed to capitalize on bearish market conditions. It follows institutional order flow and exploits liquidity patterns within key trading sessions—London, New York, and Asia—to identify high-probability short entries.
Key Components of the Strategy:
🔹 London Open Setup (2:00 AM – 8:20 AM NY Time)
The London session typically sets the initial directional move of the day.
A short-term high often forms before a downward push, establishing the daily high.
🔹 New York Open Kill Zone (8:20 AM – 10:00 AM NY Time)
The New York Judas Swing (a temporary rally above London’s high) creates an opportunity for short entries.
Traders fade this move, anticipating a sell-off targeting liquidity below previous lows.
🔹 London Close Buy Setup (10:30 AM – 1:00 PM NY Time)
If price reaches a higher timeframe discount array, a retracement higher is expected.
A bullish order block or failure swing signals a possible reversal.
The risk is set just below the day’s low, targeting a 20-30% retracement of the daily range.
🔹 Asia Open Sell Setup (7:00 PM – 2:00 AM NY Time)
If institutional order flow remains bearish, a short entry is taken around the 0-GMT Open.
Expect a 15-20 pip decline as the Asian range forms.
Strategy Rules:
📉 Short Entry Conditions:
✅ New York Judas Swing occurs (price moves above London’s high before reversing).
✅ Short entry is triggered when price closes below the open.
✅ Stop-loss is set 10 pips above the session high.
✅ Take-profit targets liquidity zones on higher timeframes.
📈 Long Entry (London Close Reversal):
✅ Price reaches a higher timeframe discount array between 10:30 AM – 1:00 PM NY Time.
✅ A bullish order block confirms the reversal.
✅ Stop-loss is set 10 pips below the day’s low.
✅ Take-profit targets 20-30% of the daily range retracement.
📉 Asia Open Sell Entry:
✅ Price trades slightly above the 0-GMT Open.
✅ Short entry is taken at resistance, targeting a quick 15-20 pip move.
Why Use This Strategy?
🚀 Institutional Order Flow Tracking – Aligns with smart money concepts.
📊 Precise Session Timing – Uses market structure across London, New York, and Asia.
🎯 High-Probability Entries – Focuses on liquidity grabs and engineered stop hunts.
📉 Optimized Risk Management – Defined stop-loss and take-profit levels.
This strategy is ideal for traders looking to trade with institutions, fade liquidity grabs, and capture high-probability short setups during the trading day. 📉🔥

MTF Fractals [RunRox]🔽 MTF Fractals is a powerful indicator designed to visualize fractals from multiple timeframes directly on your chart, highlight liquidity sweeps at these fractal levels, and provide several additional features we’ll cover in detail below.
We created this indicator because we couldn’t find a suitable tool that met our specific needs on TradingView. Therefore, we decided to develop a valuable indicator for the entire TradingView community, combining simplicity and versatility.
⁉️ WHAT IS A FRACTALS?
In trading, a fractal is a technical analysis pattern composed of five consecutive candles, typically highlighting local market turning points. Specifically, a fractal high is formed when a candle’s high is higher than the highs of the two candles on either side, whereas a fractal low occurs when a candle’s low is lower than the lows of the two adjacent candles on both sides.
Traders use fractals as reference points for identifying significant support and resistance levels, potential reversal areas, and liquidity zones within price action analysis. Below is a screenshot illustrating clearly formed fractals on the chart.
📙 FRACTAL FORMATION
Here’s how fractals form depending on your chosen setting (3, 5, 7, or 9):
▶️ 3-bar fractal – forms when the central candle is higher (for highs) or lower (for lows) than one candle on each side.
▶️ 5-bar fractal – forms when the central candle is higher or lower than two candles on both sides.
▶️ 7-bar fractal – forms when the central candle is higher or lower compared to the three candles on each side.
▶️ 9-bar fractal – forms similarly but requires four candles on each side, making the fractal significantly more reliable and robust.
A higher number of bars ensures stronger fractal levels, highlighting more significant potential reversal points on the chart.
Now that we’ve covered the theory behind fractal formation, let’s explore the indicator’s functionality in more detail.
Below, I’ll explain each feature clearly and illustrate how you can effectively utilize this indicator in your trading.
🕐 MULTI-TIMEFRAME FRACTALS
We realized that displaying fractals only from the current timeframe isn’t always convenient, so we’ve introduced Multi-Timeframe Fractals into this indicator.
Now you can easily display fractals from higher timeframes directly on your current chart, providing you with broader market context and clearer trading signals.
Fractals from Current Timeframe – Fractals identified directly on the chart’s current timeframe.
Fractals from Higher Timeframes – Fractals sourced from higher timeframes and displayed clearly on your current chart for enhanced market perspective.
📈 FRACTAL LINES
Since fractals represent areas of high liquidity, we’ve added an option to extend fractal levels horizontally as Fractal Lines across your chart.
This feature allows you to clearly visualize critical liquidity areas from higher timeframes, directly on your current timeframe chart, as demonstrated in the screenshot below.
With this approach, you can clearly visualize significant fractal levels from higher timeframes directly on your current chart - for example, projecting fractals from the 1-hour (1H) timeframe onto a 3-minute (3m) chart. ✅ This helps you easily identify critical liquidity areas and potential reversal zones without the need to switch between multiple timeframes.
💰 LIQUDITY SWEEP (LIQUDITY GRAB)
To enhance your trading experience, we’ve introduced a feature that clearly identifies liquidity sweeps of fractal levels.
A Liquidity Sweep occurs when a candle closes beyond a fractal line, leaving a wick that pierces through it, signaling that liquidity has been collected at this level.
Below, you’ll find two examples illustrating this functionality:
▶️ Fractal lines from the current timeframe
▶️ Fractal lines projected from higher timeframes
The first example illustrates liquidity being swept from fractals on the current timeframe .
Here, the candle clearly closes beyond the fractal line, leaving a wick through it. This indicates a liquidity sweep at the fractal level, visually highlighting a potential reversal or continuation opportunity directly on your chart.
In the second example, fractals from the higher timeframe are projected onto your current chart.
When a candle on your current timeframe closes beyond an HTF fractal line - leaving a wick through this level - the indicator highlights it clearly. This signals to traders a potential reversal zone, indicating that liquidity has been swept, and price may reverse or significantly react from this area.
You can also enable the display of additional labels on the chart. These labels clearly mark liquidity sweeps at fractal levels, making it easier to visually identify potential reversal points directly on your chart.
⚙️ SETTINGS
Below are the indicator settings with detailed explanations for each parameter.
🔷 Bars in Fractal – Number of candles to the right and left required to form a fractal.
🔷 Fractal Timeframe – Select the timeframe from which you want to display fractals on the current chart.

1H/3m Concept [RunRox]🕘 1H/3m Concept is a versatile trading methodology based on liquidity sweeps from fractal points identified on higher timeframes, followed by price reversals at these key moments.
Below, I will explain this concept in detail and provide clear examples demonstrating its practical application.
⁉️ WHAT IS A FRACTALS?
In trading, a fractal is a technical analysis pattern composed of five consecutive candles, typically highlighting local market turning points. Specifically, a fractal high is formed when a candle’s high is higher than the highs of the two candles on either side, whereas a fractal low occurs when a candle’s low is lower than the lows of the two adjacent candles on both sides.
Traders use fractals as reference points for identifying significant support and resistance levels, potential reversal areas, and liquidity zones within price action analysis. Below is a screenshot illustrating clearly formed fractals on the chart.
📌 ABOUT THE CONCEPT
The 1H/3m Concept involves marking Higher Timeframe (HTF) fractals directly onto a Lower Timeframe (LTF) chart. When a liquidity sweep occurs at an HTF fractal level, we remain on the same LTF chart (since all HTF fractals are already plotted on this lower timeframe) and wait for a clear Market Structure Shift (MSS) to identify our potential entry point.
Below is a schematic illustration clearly demonstrating how this concept works in practice.
Below is another 💡 real-chart example , showing liquidity in the form of a 1H fractal, swept by a rapid impulse move. Immediately afterward, a clear Market Structure Shift (MSS) occurs, signaling a potential entry point into the trade.
Another example is shown below, where we see our hourly fractal, from which price clearly reacts, providing an opportunity to search for an entry point.
As illustrated on the chart, the fractal levels from the higher timeframe are clearly displayed, but we’re working directly on the 5-minute chart. This allows us to remain on one timeframe without needing to switch back and forth between charts to spot such trading setups.
🔍 MTF FRACTALS
This concept can be applied across various HTF-LTF timeframe combinations. Although our examples illustrate 1H fractals used on a 5-minute chart, you can effectively utilize many other timeframe combinations, such as:
30m HTF fractals on 1m chart
1H HTF fractals on 3m chart
4H HTF fractals on 15m chart
1D HTF fractals on 1H chart
The key idea behind this concept is always the same: identify liquidity at fractal levels on the higher timeframe (HTF), then wait for a clear Market Structure Shift (MSS) on the lower timeframe (LTF) to enter trades.
⚙️ SETTINGS
🔷 Trade Direction – Select the preferred trading direction (Long, Short, or Both).
🔷 HTF – Choose the higher timeframe from which fractals will be displayed on the current chart.
🔷 HTF Period – Number of candles required on both sides of a fractal candle (before and after) to confirm fractal formation on the HTF.
🔷 Current TF Period – Sensitivity to the impulse that sweeps liquidity, used for identifying and forming the MSS line.
🔷 Show HTF – Enable or disable displaying HTF fractal lines on your chart. You can also customize line style and color.
🔷 Max Age (Bars) – Number of recent bars within which fractals from the selected HTF will be displayed.
🔷 Show Entry – Enable or disable displaying the MSS line on the chart.
🔷 Enable Alert – Activates TradingView alerts whenever the MSS line is crossed.
You can also enable 🔔 alerts, which notify you whenever price crosses the MSS line. This significantly simplifies the process of identifying these setups on your charts. Simply configure your preferred timeframes and wait for notifications when the MSS line is crossed.

MTF Round Level Reversal [RunRox]🧲 MTF Round Level Reversal is an indicator designed to highlight price levels on the chart where the market encountered significant resistance or support at round numbers, failing to break through large clusters of orders.
In many cases, price revisits these round-number levels to absorb the remaining liquidity, offering potential reversal or continuation trade opportunities.
✏️ EXAMPLE
Here’s an example demonstrating how this indicator works and how its logic is structured:
As shown in the screenshot above, price encountered resistance at round-number levels, clearly reacting off these areas.
Afterward, the market pulled back, presenting opportunities to enter trades targeting these previously established open levels.
This logic is based on the observation that price often seeks to revisit these open round-number levels due to the residual liquidity resting there.
While effective across various markets, this indicator performs particularly well with stocks or assets priced at higher values.
For a level to appear on the chart, price must first encounter a round-number value and clearly reverse from it, leaving a visible reaction on the chart. After this occurs, the indicator will mark this level as fully formed and display it as an active reversal area.
⚙️ SETTINGS
🔷 Timeframe – Choose any timeframe from which you’d like the indicator to source level data.
🔷 Period – Defines the number of candles required on both sides (left and right) to confirm and fully form a level.
🔷 Rounding Level – Adjusts price rounding precision when detecting levels (from 0.0001 up to 5000).
🔷 Color – Customize the color and transparency of displayed levels.
🔷 Line Style – Select the desired line style for level visualization.
🔷 Label Size – Set the font size for the level labels displayed on the chart.
🔷 Move Label to the Right – Move level labels to the right side of the screen for better visibility.
🔷 Label Offset – Specifies how many bars labels should be offset from the chart’s right edge.
🔷 Delete Filled Level – Automatically removes levels from the chart after they’ve been revisited or filled.
🔷 Calculation Bars – Determines the number of recent bars considered when calculating and identifying levels.
🔶 There are numerous ways to apply this indicator in your trading strategy. You can look for trades targeting these round-number levels or identify reversal setups forming at these high-liquidity zones. The key insight is understanding that these levels represent significant liquidity areas, which price frequently revisits and retests.

Liquidations Levels [RunRox]📈 Liquidation Levels is an indicator designed to visualize key price levels on the chart, highlighting potential reversal points where liquidity may trigger significant price movements.
Liquidity is essential in trading - price action consistently moves from one liquidity area to another. We’ve created this free indicator to help traders easily identify and visualize these liquidity zones on their charts.
📌 HOW IT WORKS
The indicator works by marking visible highs and lows, points widely recognized by traders. Because many traders commonly place their stop-loss orders beyond these visible extremes, significant liquidity accumulates behind these points. By analyzing trading volume and visible extremes, the indicator estimates areas where clusters of stop-loss orders (liquidity pools) are likely positioned, giving traders valuable insights into potential market moves.
As shown in the screenshot above, the price aggressively moved toward Sell-Side liquidity. After sweeping this liquidity level for the second time, it reversed and began targeting Buy-Side liquidity. This clearly demonstrates how price moves from one liquidity pool to another, continually seeking out liquidity to fuel its next directional move.
As shown in the screenshot, price levels with fewer anticipated trader stop-losses are indicated by less vibrant, faded colors. When the lines become more saturated and vivid, it signals that sufficient liquidity - in the form of clustered stop-losses has accumulated, potentially attracting price movement toward these areas.
⚙️ SETTINGS
🔹 Period – Increasing this setting makes the marked highs and lows more significant, filtering out minor price swings.
🔹 Low Volume – Select the color displayed for low-liquidity levels.
🔹 High Volume – Select the color displayed for high-liquidity levels.
🔹 Levels to Display – Choose between 1 and 15 nearest liquidity levels to be shown on the chart.
🔹 Volume Sensitivity – Adjust the sensitivity of the indicator to volume data on the chart.
🔹 Show Volume – Enable or disable the display of volume values next to each liquidity level.
🔹 Max Age – Limits displayed liquidity levels to those not older than the specified number of bars.
✅ HOW TO USE
One method of using this indicator is demonstrated in the screenshot above.
Price reached a high-liquidity level and showed an initial reaction. We then waited for a second confirmation - a liquidity sweep followed by a clear market structure break - to enter the trade.
Our target is set at the liquidity accumulated below, with the stop-loss placed behind the manipulation high responsible for the liquidity sweep.
By following this approach, you can effectively identify trading opportunities using this indicator.
🔶 We’ve made every effort to create an indicator that’s as simple and user-friendly as possible. We’ll continue to improve and enhance it based on your feedback and suggestions in the future.
