Swing Points & FVGClassic ITH/ITL
Intermediate Term High - High that has short term high on either of it's side.
Intermediate Term Low - Low that has short term low on either of it's side.
FVG
The indicator also marks Fair Value Gaps which is a very important concept in price action trading. FVGs are formed when there is ineffeciency,or imbalance, in the market.
Rebalanced ITH/ITL
Rebalanced ITH - A short term high that rebalanced the ineffeciency in price can be considered as an Intermediate Term High.
Rebalanced ITL - A short term low that rebalanced the ineffeciency in price can be considered as an Intermediate Term Low.
Use the ITH and ITL points marked by the indicator to determine the structure of the market.
Indicator repaints only when it tries to identify the latest ITH/ITL.
Imbalance
Ichimoku ImbalanceYou may have heard the word balance or imbalance
This indicator is designed based on Ichimoku periods to display imbalances in each period
When you see a black mark, it means that one of the Ichimoku periods is saturated or unbalanced
If the current candle was equal to the lowest price on 9/26/52 of the last period and the highest price was equal to the last candle from left on 9/26/52 of the last period
If the current candle was equal to the highest price on 9/26/52 of the last period and the lowest price was equal to the last candle from right on 9/26/52 of the last period
This indicator is a useful and powerful tool for Ichimoku traders to understand overbought and oversold points in different time periods.
Note: This is an auxiliary tool and does not issue buy and sell signals
ArtiumPro Smart Money ConceptsSmart money concepts refer to the use of institutional trading strategies which align with the perspectives of Smart Money in the market. i.e. the composite man. Market Structure is the foundation of price action trading, understanding price action is fundamental to SMC.
ArtiumPro SMC 2.1 is an SMC (Smart Money Concepts) indicator full of features to aid SMC traders. Our aim is to save you time with automatic chart mark-up and help you spot areas of interest you may miss with the naked eye.
Fvg (Fair Value Gap) - is also known as an imbalance. An FVG is an imbalance of orders, for instance, for sellers to complete their trades, there must be buyers and vice versa so when a market receives too many of one kind of order buys or sells, and not enough of the order's counterpart. When the amount is not balanced and too many orders are put in for one direction, it creates an imbalance.
Multi timeframe FVG - this will show the same as above but on the higher timeframe you choose. It’ll show as 2 lines that show the higher timeframe fvg with a filled box that mitigates on entry.
Order Blocks - These are supply and demand zones, displayed typically as the last down/up candle before a move in the opposite direction. Great POI’s for entry and take profits.
Outside candle - this is a candle that sweeps the highs and lows of the previous candle, best used for the 1 hour or above these can indicate a change of price direction.
Previous day high & low
Not only does it show your previous day's low and high but it also shows your opening and close of the day. You have settings where you can turn off the open and close and just have daily highs and lows. It’s your choice within your settings.
Market Structure - We have packed this feature with options that are customizable for you,
Break of Structure (BOS) indicates a trend continuation.
Change of Character (CHoCH) indicates the first sign of a possible trend change.
Equal Highs/lows - this will mark your double/triple tops and bottoms.
Retracement - set this to your preferred retracement amount to customize your market structure to what you qualify as a valid pullback.
Elliott Wave ZigZag
Many people ask for the Elliott Waves. Well, here it is, inside this SMC. Just like your pivot highs and lows, the Elliott Wave is showing in real-time so you can see where your previous highs and lows are with the Elliott Wave break of structures that you can use in conjunction with the Smart Money Concepts Indicator of ArtiumPro.
Fib levels - for Premium & Discount areas - in this Instance the fib is used to determine if the price has pulled back into a premium or discount zone for optimal trade entry.
Trading Sessions
One of the most advanced trading session indicators out there and it’s included inside the most advanced SMC indicator on the market today. It has open breakout and settings to filter the opening range along with your pip daily range. You can select what timezone you are in and it automatically adjusts on the chart. Cool right? Hope you enjoy it, happy trading!
Order Flow Imbalance Finder By TurkThis indicator is created to find the imbalances when a market exchange receives too many of one kind of order—buy, sell, limit—and not enough of the order's counterpoint and price shoots up or down and it left with unfilled orders. If you know how to trade the imbalances, this indicator can help you by find imbalances automatically.
Institutional FVG & Liquidity Range Candle (Expo)█ Institutional FVG with predicted SR levels & Liquidity Range Candle is an indicator that uses Smart Money Concepts to give you the insights needed to make informed decisions based on the theory in SMC. This premium toolkit work in any market and timeframe.
█ Institutional Fair Value Gap , also known as imbalance, inefficiencies, and Liquidity void, identifies the most significant FVG within the lookback period. This is often referred to as Institutional Fair Value Gap since only big players can cause these liquidity voids.
Fair Value Gap, Liquidity voids are sudden price changes without enough liquidity at a stable price, and the price jumps from the originating price level to the final price level, creating an imbalance in price.
The price tends to fill or retest the FVG area, and traders understand at which price level institutional players have been active. FVG is a valuable concept in trading, as they provide insights about where many orders were injected, creating this inefficiency in the market. The price tends to restore the balance.
This indicator highlights the most significant Fair Value Gap on the chart and plots predicted future support and resistance levels based on the price action created at the FVG. A super simple and yet effective way to get solid market levels that acts as a magnet for the price.
█ Liquidity Range Candle is another trading concept used by large market players where they manipulate the price to stay inside a specific market area, creating a tight consolidation zone. Once the price breaks the liquidity range, liquidity flows into the market. It's an easy way to grab liquidity from retail traders. Stop losses are triggers, breakout traders jump into the market, and institutional traders absorb the liquidity.
If you don't see the liquidity, you become the liquidity!
A break of a liquidity range is a sign of a breakout, potential continuation, retracement, or reversal. Use it together with an overall market analysis. It's common that traders also mark the previous 1-3 liquidity ranges and plot them into the future. These zones can act as a future magnet for the price, and we can get a retest of the zones, or if we break above/below a previous range can be a sign of a trend change. We also know that these liquidity ranges have been important levels for institutional players, who may be willing to accumulate or distribute more orders at these levels.
█ HOW TO USE
Use the indicator to identify several important and commonly used trading concepts taught within the SMC.

PT FVG ImbalancesVersion 1.0 of the PT FVG Gaps & Flat Opens was developed to visually identify any imbalances in price. This indicator can be used on all timeframes.
Fair Value Gaps are a key component when trading price action. They are derived from zones in liquidity where price moved quickly in a certain direction leaving gaps behind. These areas tend to act as magnets to price throughout the trading session of that timeframe.
PT FVG Features:
-Gaps that have been partially filled will shade darker to show price has already attempted to fill that gap before (Toggle Highlight Gap Fill).
-Gaps that have been partially filled will remove a portion of the background zone to indicate how much gap is left to fill in the full zone (Toggle Highlight Remaining Gap).
Flat Open Candles are derived from candles that open without a wick (wickless candles). Price more often than not tends to gravitate towards these areas in the near future to fill the wickless candle before continuing on with the trend. Can be used on all timeframes, but the higher the timeframe holds more weight.
PT Flat Open Features:
-Flat open sensitivity would recommend keeping it around 30-50. If scalping keep it sub 30. This feature determines how many flat opens you want on your chat at one time.
-Delete flat open line allows us to delete the line once price has filled the wickless candle.

[VC] Effort & Result Index V1.0V.C. Effort & Result Index draws the Price change, Volume, Delta & Delta % as a histogram. On the positive side of the histogram, it marks the price change & on the negative side of the histogram, it marks volume, delta & delta %. And the best part of the indicator is that it allows you to see all the mentioned data types simultaneously.
See the below chart for a comprehensive understanding.
Before moving further, understand the below analogy first.
Volume & Delta = Fule or Effort
Price Movement = Result
Think of Volume & Delta as FULE or EFFORT and Price Movement as Result.
If the price travels a significant distance with less fule & effort, it indicates that no barriers or inverse forces are stopping the price movement.
On the other hand, if the price is travelling a less distance & consuming comparatively more fule & effort, it indicates some barriers or inverse forces stopping the price movement.
V.C. Effort & Result Index empowers you to read, compare & analyse Volume, Delta & Price effortlessly. It helps to measure the relative price change in different combinations. Such as, you can compare the price change with total volume, delta volume & delta percentage.
See the below relative comparison analysis by using Price Change, Volume Change & Delta Change.
In the above example, you can see that on candle A, there is a very significant price move with a small volume & delta. But on the next candle B, there is a minor price move compared to the previous candle A, but the volume is relatively high & delta is almost the same. In simple words, the same effort was applied to candle B but got fewer results than candle A. It indicates that buyers applied the same effort but failed to get the same results. It reveals that sellers are taking control, leading to a trend reversal.
This comparative analysis method & approach can add an extra edge to your analysis spacially on key levels & breakouts.
V.C Effort & Result Index Settings & Inputs
Price Change:
Allow you to show/hide the price change bars on the positive side of the histogram.
Volume:
Allow you to show/hide the total volume on the negative side of the histogram.
Delta%:
Allow you to show/hide the delta % on the negative side of the histogram.
Delta:
Allow you to show/hide the delta on the negative side of the histogram.
Style Settings
The Style section allows you to change the colors & the view format of all data types.
Disclaimer Note:
V.C Effort & Result Index is not a BUY/SELL signal based indicator or a holy grail trading system.
It is purely Volume, Delta, Demand & Supply imbalance and comparative analysis based tool kit. Before applying this indicator to your analysis, you should know about Volume, Delta & Spread, and Demand & Supply.
Some basic understanding of Sir Richerd Wyckoff's Theory can also be helpful.
Base Candle NewBase / Imbalance Candle
It automatically highlights the candle color to yellow (default) where there is imbalance between buyers and sellers or in other words, a base or fight between buyers and sellers. When you identify this base candle, you can mark the demand and supply zones easily.
[VC] Box Chart Index V1.0The ''V.C Box Chart Index'' shows the shortest possible wave. It graphically shows the continuous up movement or continuous down movement in the form of a box. As soon as the direction changes, the box changes as well.
It is an effortless way to show the price change that occurred in the box visually. It also correlates to what Wyckoff said about as the buying waves increase in volume, time, and length & the selling waves shorten, lookout for a change in the prevailing trend.
The example below shows more big green boxes than red, and the price change caused by the green box has made the uptrend.
Important Note:
V.C Box Chart Index also correlates to another indicator named V.C Box Chart Histogram
V.C Box Chart Histogram draws the cumulative delta based on each box as a histogram. Combining these two indicators empowers you to see the cumulative demand & supply and buying & selling quantity of each box.
See the Example Blow:
The above example shows that supply is decreasing on down boxes, indicating that fewer sellers are left to pull the market down.
On the other hand, demand increases on the up boxes, indicating that more buyers are coming into the market. As a result, every green box is breaking the previous high & price is moving upside.
For a more comprehensive understanding of the co-relation of these two indicators, read the description from the link below.
V.C Box Chart Index Settings & Properties Explained
Border of Box:
Allow you to show/hide the border of the box
Positive Box & Negative Box Borders:
Allow you to change the border color & opacity
Positive Box & Negative Box:
Allow you to change the color & opacity of the box
Disclaimer Note:
V.C Box Chart Index is not a BUY/SELL signal based indicator or a holy grail trading system.
It is purely Volume, Delta, Orderflow, Demand & Supply imbalance and comparative analysis based indicator tool kit. Before applying this indicator to your analysis, you should know about Volume, Delta & Spread, and Demand & Supply.
Some basic understanding of Sir Richerd Wyckoff's Theory can also be helpful.
Fractal Break Imbalance / Fair Value Gap (FVG) / Liquidity VoidFractal Break Imbalance / Fair Value Gap (FVG) / Liquidity Void
Order imbalances in either direction, either excess buy or sell orders, reduce liquidity. The market will seek to fill gaps sooner or later. The script marks an imbalance / FVG after a fractal break. It also marks any other imbalance.
Default Colours:
Green - Imbalance after fractal break to the upside
Red - Imbalance after fractal break to the downside
Yellow - Other imbalances
How To Use:
Gaps can be used to determine possible entries and targets. Those familiar with liquidity raids, supply and demand, and ICT concepts may realise it's potential.
Indicator in use:
Candle Colored by Volume Z-score [Morty]This indicator colors the candles according to the z-score of the trading volume. You can easily see the imbalance on the chart. You can use it at any timeframe.
In statistics, the standard score (Z-score) is the number of standard deviations by which the value of a raw score (i.e., an observed value or data point) is above or below the mean value of what is being observed or measured. Raw scores above the mean have positive standard scores, while those below the mean have negative standard scores.
This script uses trading volume as source of z-score by default.
Due to the lack of volume data for some index tickers, you can also choose candle body size as source of z-score.
features:
- custom source of z-score
- volume
- candle body size
- any of above two
- all of above two
- custom threshold of z-score
- custom color chemes
- custom chart type
- alerts
default color schemes:
- green -> excheme bullish imbalance
- blue -> large bullish imbalance
- red -> excheme bearish imbalance
- purple -> large bearish imbalance
- yellow -> low volume bars, indicates "balance", after which volatility usually increases and tends to continue the previous trend
Examples:
* Personally, I use dark theme and changed the candle colors to black/white for down/up.
Volume as Z-score source
Any as Z-score source, more imbalances are showed
Fair Value Gap█ OVERVIEW
This indicator displays the Fair Value Gap of the current timeframe and an additional higher timeframe. For each FVG the gaps act as targets creating bullish and bearish gaps that are often filled.
█ FEATURES
MTF Options
MidPoint FIll
Delete Old On Fill
Label FVG Timeframe
MTF Options
Enabling the MTF Options will allow the user to use the "MTF Timeframe" setting to choose what HTF Fair Value Gap to display
MidPoint FIll
A line plot at the Half way point will be included in the Fair Value Gap, this will be used to delete the gap when reached instead of a full fill.
Delete Old On Fill
Deletes historical Fair Value Gaps when filled.
Label FVG Timeframe
Labels Every Fair Value gap with there relevant timeframe to make it easier to determine which gap is being filled.
█ HOW TO USE IT
The indicator is quite straight forward in its application, providing users with targets that are often filled as they are seen as market imbalance.
Just applying it to your chart will provide the existing Fair Value Gaps. MTF Confluence is helpful in seeing what is happening on the macro perspective.
█ SUGGESTION
My suggestion for clarity is to use a different color to some degree between the MTF and Current TF as Opposed to text, keeps the chart clear.
█ LIMITATIONS OF PINE (Please read)
I see many users going on different indicators with MTF in mind and trying to use it for LTF data e.g. 1hour chart, and selecting 5min in chart settings.
This is not recommended by the team themselves and should be noted for use always use HTF: www.tradingview.com
To understand how to use fair value gaps I recommend learning about the subject some more, searching online will provide you resources. The internet is your friend when learning. All the best.
SPARTAN SMC TOOL 1.0SPARTAN SMC TOOL 1.0
1. Order Block
2.Double Zig Zag
3. Imbalance
//--------------------- details about smc tool -----------------------//
Order Block:
I) The Order Blocks are NOT DETECTED in REAL TIME!
- A Bullish Order Block is the last red candle BEFORE a subsequent series of green candle
- A Bearish Order Block is the last green candle BEFORE a subsequent series of red candles
The required length of the series is defined by the parameter "Relevant Periods to identify OB" (by default it is set to 5).
This means that the earliest an Order Block can be identified with these settings is 5 candles AFTER it has occurred!
As a result of this....
II) The identified Order Blocks (and therefore also the Alerts) are not BUY or SELL signals!
As I have mentioned in the description before, these identified Order Blocks rather show "Areas of Interest" on the chart where there is an increased probability that the price will revisit these levels at one point in the future (but no guarantee of course!).
III) ....and YES, it REPAINTS....by definition!
A "repainting" indicator is changing signals in the past. As according to the defined logic an Order Block can only be identified AFTER future conditions are met, it will of course "repaint" the signal into the chart only after at least the relevant period has elapsed - the same applies to the Alerts. If you intend to complain about this "repainting", then I am sorry to say that you did not understand what this is used for and I advise you not to use this indicator. I would then advise you to first read a bit about Institutional Order Flow.
IV) This is not the "Perfect Indicator".....
When you look at the historical performance on the chart, it looks like that the Indicator ALWAYS called a perfect entry! But due to the definition of the logic and due to the delay/repainting, this is misleading if you do not understand how it is supposed to work. So please make sure that you REALLY understand it before you use it - I tried to be very clear in my explanations.
Double Zig Zag:
Here Double Zig Zag with HHLL script is with you. it calculates 2 Zig Zag simultaneously and draws them, and also it calculates and puts Higher High, Lower Low, Higher Low, Lower High labels. All these are done dynamically, it means last HH/HL/LL/LH can change. if price continues to go up then HL can turn to LL or if price continues to go down then LH can turn to HH. This script can be used for different purposes such trend analysis, support/resistance levels, breakouts etc.
I tried to make many things optional:
You can set Periods for Zig Zags as you wish
You can set different colors for both Zig Zag Up/Down lines
You have option to show both Zig Zag , one of them or none them
You have option to show both HHLL, one of them or none them
You can set Zig Zag 1 line style as Dashed or Dotted
You can set Line Widths for Zig Zags
Imbalance and Fair Value Gaps
Imbalance and Fair Value Gaps are created when Price moves away in one direction at speed / impulsively.
A gap is created between the first and third candle wick which creates the Imbalance / Fair Value Gap and is sometimes a potential area of where the market could return
making the area a good place to look to trade from or to aim for.
This Imbalance / Fair Value Gap indicator will change the color of the candles where these gaps have been created and also created a Line at the start of the Gap.
Although the candle color will not change, the lines however will be removed when price has closed the Gap making it easier to look for the untouched Imbalance / Fair Value Gaps when opening the charts or changing between timeframes and allowing you to create your potential areas to trade from or areas to target.
You are also able to add a shape on the gaps and change style of lines created along with the width and length.
From the testing I have carried out whilst trading, using more than a 500 bar look back seems to cause issue so this is the max you can set the candle look back.
There are other Imbalance / Fair Value Gap indicators but I just wanted to create one with a few additional options which suited my trading style.
Hope you find it useful and happy safe trading...
ICT Fair Value Gap [LM]Hello traders,
I would like to present you ICT Fair Value Gap script. The idea is the same as in my other script to look form imbalances. I have improved the previous script from teaching of ICT and created this script to train the eye to see those gaps. Shrinking option also shows if the gap has been already filled and also in case gap is filled you can get alert in case you will set it up .
The script has two settings:
general settings - definition of volatility condition for middle candle
box settings - setting for boxes, box colors, shrinking
I hope you enjoy it,
Lukas
Imbalance Identifier With Target BoxTarget Area to help me with my target area for visual reference
Imbalance Identifier - Helps me to see where the trade may come back to
EMA on 1 Minute Time frame for helping to identify Direction to take trades in
I primarily use this as a tool to help me identify very short term direction for scalping small target area (Adjustable)
Preset for the main 28 Forex Pairs, US30,US100,US500 Dax40 and Gold on the 1 Minute timeframe
Imbalanced zoneImbalance, this is a zone / gap created when the price move with force in a given direction. It identify a zone where the price could
potentially go back. This gives perfect targets for your trades.
Imbalance is created from the high and low of 3 candles. When the wicks the of 1st and 3rd candle does not fully overlap the middle one.
You can define the penetration ratio which will delete a tested zone from the chart. Usually find that 20% (0.2) is pretty accurate.
Supply & Demand / Orderblocks - Multi TimeFrame (@JP7FX)This should easily find the clear BUY to SELL / SELL to BUY candles with imbalance created.
There are options to change the Supply and Demand / OrderBlock CREATION based off the OPEN or WICK imbalance and also the option to DRAW the zones from the OPEN or the WICK.
Will also draw HTF zones with options to change the colour of zones when price has mitigated these areas, zones will be deleted once price has passed through.
Each Zone has the 50% line drawn and will delete when Price has reached - maybe useful for traders who look for 50% mitigation of areas.
When using HTF zones (max of 2) a Timeframe display will show for that zone.
There are many options to change colours and lines etc to suit the layout you prefer.
The zones that are created are not to trade from without additional analysis its simply to help draw strong zones.
Hope this provide some help and Trade Safe :)
Fair Value Gap by AncheIndicator that plots boxes for fair value gaps (also known as imbalances or inefficiencies)
fair value gaps are a very useful concept in price action trading, as they provide a trader with information about where a lot of orders were injected creating this inefficiency in the market. This inefficiency can become a magnet for price in the future to resolve this inefficiency as there are many resting orders. A trader can use this information to target a fair value gap, or to look for a potential entry for a long/short making it a good POI.
you have the possible to extend boxes to the right of the screen or to edit their width
fair value gaps tend to get mitigated, to restore the balance. This indicator gives you the option to define a mitigation using a full fill or a 0.5 fill. You can also define what to use for mitigation: candle bodies or candle wicks.
there are some other indicators for fair value gaps, although I haven't found one that let's me define a 0.5 mitigation, this indicator suits my trading style
MarketReader_StrategyMarketReader_Strategy is a very useful and advanced indicator:
- It draws buying (green) and selling (orange) zone .
-Once the buying or selling zone is tapped, the color is automatically changed to grey
-It shows liquidity pool ($$$) engineered by market behaviour
Buying or selling area are determined by an algorithm that combines volume profile, Elliott Wave principles and order flow delivery .
On the above example:
At “1” , you can see that the first buying zone is drawn since January 12
At “2” , the buying zone is tapped on January 18 with a strong bullish reaction.
At “3” and “3’” , you can see that liquidity pool has been created by market maker on both buying and selling side. It is typical of market behavior.
Market maker will take the downside liquidity by targeting the buying zone and then reverse (to the upside) targeting the upside liquidity pool that fuel the pump to the selling zone “4” . This selling zone is reached at “5” with a strong bearish reaction.
“6” represent active buying zone, waiting to be tapped.
To buy or take profit on these areas will depend on market behavior on the way down. Does the market engineer liquidity before? We use 2 complementary indicators helping us to take position on these areas but feel free to experiment with your own.
Usually, I wait price comes to selling or buying zone, then I go on lower timeframe (15 to 30 times lower) searching for divergences and convergences on Momemtum reader (also available on tradingview)
This indicator does not repaint and works on Forex, Crypto, Indices, Commodities and stock.
