MTF Choppiness IndexMulti Time Frame Choppiness Index
Draw the choppiness index on multiple time frames (maximum 5).
Once a chop is charged on one time frame (above 100), the background will be coloured on the indicator window.
More the background is coloured, more there are charged time frames, and more you can expect high volatility .
A table of charged time frames will appear to indicate which time frame has its chop charged.
By default, the computed time frames will be a factor of your current chart time frame. Go to the Inputs tab in configuration to make them static if you need it.
By default, only the chop line of the current time frame is displayed. Go to the Style tab in configuration to display other time frame lines.
If you are using a lower time frame than your current chart, the line will not be accurate because of missing values.

ICT Killzone by JeawThis is an indicator script for TradingView called "ICT Killzone". It is a useful tool for identifying the London and New York open and close sessions, as well as the Asian range on the chart. The appearance of the "killzones" can be customized by selecting colors and transparencies for each session. Boxes can also be displayed around each session and labels with additional information can be added. This script is compatible with intraday charts and time multipliers up to 60 minutes. It was created by Jeaw and is based on the ideas of the ICT (Institutional Cash Trades) methodology. This script can help traders avoid entering the market during high impact news events and periods of low liquidity. By identifying these potentially volatile times, traders can better manage their risk and improve their overall trading strategy.
Volatility Trackerhi there, fellows.
this is a very simple and quite straightforward indicator.
so far the simplest we've built.
on what it does
in regard to current chart and timeframe it plots
a. Open - Close as a percentage of the Open (we regard open as more relevant than close, for as you can use latest estimates in current candle) in daily change coloring (so one may have an idea if there is a trend or sideways move unfolding)
b. High - Low as a percentage of the Open, so one may compare extreme moves with final ones in the period
c. Volume as a percentage distance from its WMA200 (always this one, a way better reference for normalcy). (e. g. a positive value x means Volume is x% above its WMA200)
on what it means
to the best of our imperfect and incomplete understanding, we believe that low volatility periods lead to high volatility periods, so one might want to enter the market in low volatility periods to enjoy wild rides afterwards. such a trade of course would be, for the sake of making sense, a long volatility one.
the timing for entrance could be once that the volatility waves fades to chart minimums.
we're open to critics, suggestions and comments.
best regards.
Higher Timeframe Price Action ScannerThis is a higher timeframe scanner that detects the price action trend on multiple timeframes and displays them all as red or green dots. You’ll be able to see the real time and historical price action trends so you can trade in the same direction of the overall trend on higher timeframes. You can also set it to scan a different ticker if you choose. If you find pairs that correlate very well, you can use two scanners and look at both of them for extra trend confluence.
CALCULATIONS
This scanner uses the same price action formula from our other indicator titled 1 Minute Scalping Indicator which can be found on our profile. It has Scalp Mode and Swing Mode. Both modes use the exact same price action parameters for signals, but Swing Mode will only give signals when the price action parameters are met AND the close is higher than the previous high for bull signals or when the close is lower than the previous low for bear signals.
HOW TO USE
The top line of the scanner shows the price action trend for the current chart timeframe and the rest are using the higher timeframe that you set in the input settings. They start with higher timeframe #1 as the second line from the top and go down from there.
When most or all of the dots are green, you should be looking for long positions and when most or all of the dots are red, you should be looking for short positions.
Since this scanner is using pure price action to identify trends, it’s a reliable way to see what multiple timeframes are doing.
PAIRINGS
Use this with the 1 Minute Scalping Indicator so you can get the signals and candles colored per the price action on your chart as well as see the higher timeframe price action trend from the scanner. Using both together will help you make better trading decisions.
MARKETS
You can use this scanner on any market.
TIMEFRAMES
This scanner will scan the current chart timeframe and display the result on the top line, then the lines below that will display the results from the higher timeframes you choose in the settings. It has timeframes from 1 minute all the way up to 1 year.
[7H] Trading HUD - MTF EMAs and RSIThis is a MTF HUD built around Chartguy Dan's trading style of 12/26 EMAs and RSI levels from multiple time frames. The HUD is configurable, allowing you to change the time frame of RSI levels and EMAs. The EMAs can be displayed at their current price or a percentage distance away. The HUD values will change color.
dmn's ICT ToolkitThis is my quality of life indicator for forex trading using the methods and concepts of ICT.
The idea is to automate marking up important price levels and times of the day instead of doing it manually every day.
Killzones
Marks the most volatile times of the day on the chart, during which the intraday high/low usually takes place.
Particularly impactful when there's news released during these times.
London Open (02:00-05:00 EST)
New York Open (08:30-11:00 EST)
London Close (10:00-11:30 EST)
True Day delineation
Vertical line at the start of the "true day" (00:00 EST), start of the algorithmic trading day and aids in visualizing the intraday direction.
New York midnight price level
Noteworthy price level at the start of the "true day".
This price level is referenced by the interbank trading algorithms during the day. Buy below it on bullish days, sell above it on bearish days.
Daily open price level
Reference level for optimal trade entries. Buy below it on bullish days, sell above it on bearish days.
Central Banks Dealers Range (CBDR) (14:00-20:00 EST) &
Central Banks Dealers Flout (CBDF) (15:00-24:00 EST) &
Asian Range (AR) (20:00-24:00 EST)
The standard deviation lines available are used to make predictions for short-term future highs/lows when the CBDR and AR are smaller than 40 pips.
Trade them by looking for 5/15min key levels that converge with the projection levels.
X days Average Daily Range (ADR)
Default to 5 days back, gives an idea of how much movement to expect intraday when the ADR high/low is converging with CBDR/CBDF/AR standard deviations.
Current Daily Range (CDR)
Used for comparison against the ADR to help determine if there's enough intraday range left to enter a trade.
Dynamically changes color based on percentage of the ADR. Green below 50% of ADR, orange between 50 and 100%, red when CDR exceeds ADR.
All of the above are used in conjunction with each other and higher timeframe levels of importance to find entries and target.
Note: Preferably use New York's time zone for your charts.
TwV Multi-timeframe Dynamic VRVPMulti-timeframe Dynamic Visible Range Volume Profile
The volume profile is an indicator that displays trading activity over a specified period and plots a histogram on the chart which reveals dominant and significant price levels based on volume and in essence gives a clear indication of Supply or demand at a certain price rather than volume in a certain period.
What makes this VRVP indicator different from other is that it is multi-timeframe and dynamic, meaning that it has the ability to show the POC for a higher timeframe and that it also recalculates the main POC every single time traders adjust the chart.
Most VRVP need to be adjusted to a fixed position for the Main POC, I made an improvement by giving the indicator the ability to identify the bars that are being look at in the screen, this really gives traders the possibility and agility to identify potential support and resistance areas without the need to be changing any settings on the indicator.
Furthermore, giving the ability to the indicator to be multi-timeframe allows traders not only to work with a point of control in one timeframe, but also have a dashed line plotting the Point of Control of a HIGHER timeframe, which could potentially be a strongest support or resistance. The multi-timeframe point of control is fixed only.
This VRVP is completely similar to the official Trading View paid subscription one.
Fundamentals
Point of Control (POC): The price level for the time period with the highest traded volume. The POC is represented by an amber line within the indicator.
Profile High: The highest reached price level during the specified time period
Profile Low: The lowest reached price level during the specified time period.
Value Area (VA): The range of price levels in which a specified percentage of all volume was traded during the time period. Typically, this percentage is set to 70% however it is up to the trader’s discretion.
Value Area High (VAH): The highest price level within the value area.
Value Area Low (VAL): The lowest price level within the value area.
Usage
The Resistance and Support levels can be provided by the Volume profile using a reactive method so they constantly change with price action and give a clearer picture to predict future price movements. The Reactive method relies on past price movements at certain price levels and applies a more significant understanding of price reaction at certain meaningful levels
Support levels will be areas where price will be supported on the way down.
Resistance levels will be areas that resist price on the way up.
A basic understanding of this is that Buyers will enter the market at the bottom of a profile and sellers will enter the market at the top of the profile.
Configuration
By the default the indicator has enabled plotting the charts timeframe Volume Profile.
Multi-timeframe option needs to be enabled and desired timeframe chosen from selector menu.
Bars back value for fixed calculation of the multi-timeframe point of control.
Traders can adjust default settings as follows:
Charts timeframe VRVP
Main POC color – Yellow
Positive Volume – Green
Negative Volume – Red
VRVP Width – 100 (Refers to the plotting width for better suiting on small screens)
Multi timeframe VRVP
Enable or disable calculations
Bars back - Fixed numbers of bars for calculation (Consider that max bars back limit is 5000, but it considers 5000 bars on the current charts timeframe, therefore traders need to take into consideration converting number of bars in higher timeframe to charts timeframe)
e.g.
Charts timeframe 15m – MTF desired 1H
1H = 60 min 15m = 15 min – 100 bars back equivalent to (60 min * 100) / 15 = 400
Lower than 5000 then calculations takes place, otherwise calculations will be disabled.
Multi-timeframe POC color = Light blue DASHED
Timeframe desired – 1H by default

ICT SM Trades (liquidity find & grab, MSS, FVG, killzones)Indicator looks for ICT & Smart Money trades on any timeframe. These types of trades reveal how the big institutions, banks and hedge funds trade with big money. If they want their very big positions to be filled they need to find areas in chart where the majority of the money is sitting. Where is it? Where is the majority of orders placed? Right below supports or right above resistance, these orders are stoplosses or stop orders. So they need to push the price to these areas, take all the available stoplosses and trigger all the available stop orders in order to fill their positions and then push the price to the opposite side to make profit (and retail to lose).
Indicator looks for support or resistance (S/R) areas which are represented by dotted lines. This S/R areas are created by minimum of 2 pivot high/low (H/L). Every pivot H/L that creates the S/R area is marked with diamond label. This S/R area is called liquidity. After liquidity is created, indicator looks for liquidity grab (mostly represented by fast spike to this area - it is labeled with x-cross) and then price should go fast to the opposite side of the created structure. Indicator considers as a created structure everything that was created on the other side of the candles from the oldest pivot H/L which creates particular liquidity. For example, if liquidity is created with 3 pivot highs, indicator looks at the oldest pivot high and from there it is looking for the lowest low. Under this lowest low is dashed line which means that this level should be broken with closed candle. This action is called market structure shift (MSS), when the price shifted very fast from highs to lows. After MSS, when the price went fast to one direction, there were some imbalances in prices, in our example selling pressure was a lot bigger than buying pressure and there were created some long untested bearish candles. This untested areas in candles are called imbalances or gaps of fair value gaps (FVG). These are labeled with rectangles. It is expected that these gaps will be tested in near future to "balance the market".
We can put limit orders into these gaps and await some retracement after MSS to open our positions and after the positions are opened we can expect trend continuation in the direction where market structure shift was made (away from liquidity grab). So stoplosses can be placed above/below liquidity grab candle (marked with x-cross).
In settings of the indicator you can set whether only long or only short trades will be shown. Long trades are green and short trades are red. You can set if fair value gaps will be shown as well. The last thing in settings is session. You can set custom session which will be shown as background color on your chart.
Trading SessionsThis indicator has the following base features:
Plots the session breaks of the Tokyo, London, and New York trading hours.
Plots the lunch break locations of the Tokyo session.
Plots the previous closes at the end of the Tokyo, London, and New York sessions. The New York previous close can optionally use the settlement close value from the exchange.
Plots a countdown and time location of the next session open and close for the Tokyo, London, and New York sessions.
By default, all sessions are prescribed in their local time zone. Daylight savings time is also accounted for. This makes the plots operate as expected no matter what your own local time zone setting is in Trading View.
Key Levels by myooThis indicator plots key levels on the chart and can put a label on the price scale.
These levels can act as important support and resistance and cause big reactions.
• Open, High, Low, and EQ for the current day, previous day, current week, previous week, current month, previous month and current year.
•To show the levels on the price scale, you need to right click on the price scale, select "Labels" and turn on "Indicator and financial name labels" and "Indicator and financial value labels".
•In the settings under "Style", disable the "Labels" for a clean look.
In the settings window you can change the way the lines are drawn:
•Minimal: Lines are being drawn to the right for a clean chart.
•Standard: Lines are being drawn from the open bar of said period.
•Additionally, if you do not like to have the labels on the price scale, you can turn them of in the settings under the "Style Tab" by deactivating "Labels on price scale".
In this case, you can use the labels from the indicator itself, that are being drawn above the price line on the chart. Use the "Offset" setting to dial in the position to your preference.
Enjoy trading!

Musashi_Katana=== Musashi-Katana ===
This tool was designed to fit my particular trading style and personal theories about the "Alchemy of the markets" and ''Harmonic Structure'.
Context
When following a Technical approach to to surf the markets, there are teachings that must be understood before reaching a confort-zone, this usually happen the possible worst way by constant experimentation, it hurts.
Here few technical hints:
- Align High timeframes with lower timeframes:
This simple concept relax a lot complexity of finding of a trend bias. Musashi-Katana allows you to use technical indicator corresponding to specific timeframes, like daily weekly or yearly. They wont change when you change the chart's timeframe, its very useful as you know where you're standing in the long term, Its quite relaxing.
- Use volume:
The constant usage of volume will allow you to sync with the market's breathing. This shows you the mass of money flowing into and out of the market, is key if you want to understand momentum. This tool can help here, as it have multi-period vwaps. You can use yearly, monthly for swing trading, and even weekly if you enjoy scalping.
Useful stuff:
- You have access to baselines, AMA and Kijun-sen with the possibility of adding ATR bands.
- AMAs come as two lines strategies for different approaches, fast medium or slow.
- You can experiment with normal and multi timeframe moving averages and other trend tools.
Final Note
If used correctly Musashi-Katana is a very powerful tool, which makes no sense as there is no correct usage. Don't add everything at the same time, experiment, combine stuff, every market is different.
Backtest every possible strategy before using it, see what works and doesn't. This gives you a lot of peace, specially while you're at the tip of the spear surfing the markets
--> I personally use this in combination with 'Musashi_Slasher (Mometum+Volatility)', as it gives me volatility and momentum in a very precise way.

[Pt] Daily Market Profile / TPOA great mentor of mine once told me, trading is like driving. When you are driving, there are directions and road signs to follow. The key areas and levels from TPO market profile are the road signs in trading, you shouldn't trade without them much like you shouldn't drive without road signs, as you will get lost.
From Wikipedia: "A Market Profile is an intra-day charting technique (price vertical, time/activity horizontal) devised by J. Peter Steidlmayer, a trader at the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT), ca 1959-1985. Steidlmayer was seeking a way to determine and to evaluate market value as it developed in the day time frame. The concept was to display price on a vertical axis against time on the horizontal, and the ensuing graphic generally is a bell shape--fatter at the middle prices, with activity trailing off and volume diminished at the extreme higher and lower prices." If you are unfamiliar with the concept, search for Market Auction Theory, Market Profile, and TPO on the web.
What's cool about this script?
As a professional trading, you should be drafting a trading plan and drawing all your key areas and levels before entering a trade. If you are trading with market profile, with this script, you no longer have to spend the time it takes to manually draw those key areas and levels. All are automatically generated with this script to give you the visual cues in your trades~!!
**IMPORTANT** Please note that due to the limitation on TradingView, there can only be limited number of boxes and lines that can be generated per indicator. Hence, this script only aims to provide you with as many key areas and levels as possible. This may be mitigated by having multiple instances of this indicator. Please use at your risk and discretion.
This script provides a comprehensive set of indicators / elements of daily TPO market profile, which includes the following:
- Market Profile based on TPO
- Point of Control (POC)
- Value Area (VA)
- Single Prints (SP)
- Excess (EX)
- Naked vs Visited (Touched) POC and VA
This script also includes the following key features that hopes to provide value in your trading:
- Automatically generated key areas and levels, including all the elements above
- Those key areas and levels will fade away as they become less significant, based on number of crosses and touches
- Customizable display settings
- Customizable session for generating the MP
- Two positions for MP placement
Setting descriptions:
Estimated Time At Price [Kioseff Trading]Hello!
This script uses the same formula as the recently released "Volume Delta" script to ascertain lower timeframe values.
Instead, this script looks to estimate the approximate time spent at price blocks; all time estimates are in minute.second format.
The image above shows functionality. Time spent at price levels/blocks are estimated in duration. The highest estimated block is the highlighted level and a POC line is extended right until violated. Colors, the presence of POC lines and whether they're removed subsequent violation are all configurable.
As show in the image above, the data is displayable in an additional format. When select the "non-classic" format shown above - precise price levels are calculated and the estimated time spent at those levels is summed and displayed right of the current bar. The off-colored level (yellow in the example) denotes the price level encompassing the highest *estimated* time spent.
You can deselect the neon effect and choose to have the script recalculate after any conceivable amount of time has passed.
The script can also calculate for the most current bar should you configure it to do so.
That's all! (for now). A quick/easy script building off an existing foundation.
If you've any ideas for features and ways to "spice up" this script please let me know (: I'll gladly incorporate requests.
Thank you!
Professional Zones - Institutional Demand and Supply Imbalances
Intro to Supply and Demand Zone Technical Analysis
Supply and demand is an increasingly common strategy among day and swing traders in equity, forex, and the futures markets. The goal of analyzing supply and demand zones is to pre-determine where price action may pivot before that pivot happens, thus giving us an edge over the market. There are many unique charting/trading strategies that fit under the supply and demand umbrella, however we are going to focus primarily on Institutional Zones of Demand and Supply Imbalances, as this is what our TradingView indicator actively displays.
What are Institutional Zones of Demand and Supply Imbalances?
First, let’s break down the phrase above. The first word is ‘institutional’, which is a key aspect in our trading. As a retail trader, you must understand that retail traders (individual traders like you and I) have very little control and very little effect on price action in the major markets. The price action that we see everyday is caused by large institutions and hedge funds buying and selling equities in massive quantities.
This chart displays the price action for ES, which is the S&P500 E-mini futures .
At the time this guide was created, that chart for ES displays the low of this year (2022). You can see major highs and major lows, as well as steep drops and momentous runs.
Price action like this appears random to the naked eye, however it is all controlled by major institutions. These institutions place large buy and sell orders for markets such as the S&P 500 Index which causes these moves.
Our Institutional Demand and Supply Analysis attempts to discover the price zones where institutions have placed their buy/sell orders. Their buy orders create “demand zones”. And their sell orders create “supply zones”. Knowing where these zones exist allows us to anticipate price trend reversals so we can profitably participate in them alongside the major institutions when these key moves take place.
We are looking for areas in the chart where institutions have created major imbalances (more buy orders than sell orders or vice versa) which creates demand and supply zones that impact price action and trend reversals in predictable ways.
What Causes These Supply and Demand Zones?
Understanding that institutions control the price of the markets is crucial for understanding how these zones of supply and demand imbalances are formed, and it can be derived from historical price action.
There are two types of price action, balanced and imbalanced. Balanced price action is flat, consolidatory price action where the overall direction is sideways. Imbalanced price action is an exaggerated move in price either up or down. Now here is the key: institutional supply and demand imbalances are formed when price action goes from balanced to imbalanced. Below is an example of balanced price action .
There are clearly areas of institutional buy and sell orders that are causing price action to oscillate between the areas of demand and supply. The longer price action consolidates and moves sideways, the larger the volume profile will be in this range. In other words, more institutional orders will build up as price remains relatively the same for a longer period of time.
Here is how a demand zone is formed :
Due to bullish CPI news, price action went from balanced to imbalanced by exploding to the upside. This bullish price action filled all of the sell orders and broke past the previous area of supply. Because price moved up so fast, the buy orders did not get a chance to fill, essentially leaving an area with a high concentration of buy orders remaining. Hence, a new demand zone is formed which is shown here .
Our state-of-the-art indicator automatically scans for these historical shifts in price action (balanced to imbalanced) via our supply and demand zone detection formula, and displays them on your chart instantly. Remember the first image sent of blank price action? Here it is below:
The image below shows the exact same chart of ES, however, our advanced Professional Zones - Institutional Demand and Supply Imbalances indicator has been applied to the chart.
Just like that, price action has been transformed from unexplainable chaos to an orderly sequence of demand bounces and supply rejections.
Yes, all of these zones may be charted manually if one were to acquire the knowledge required to chart them by hand, and spend numerous hours going back in time to find all these zones. Additionally, these charts would then have to be constantly monitored and updated, which would require hours of work each day. This powerful indicator automates all of that work to give you more precious time to analyze and trade these zone-driven pivots in the markets.
How To Measure the Strength of Supply and Demand Zones?
The longer the consolidation takes place, the larger the demand/ supply zone will be. This strength is measured by the time frame of the origin of the zone.
Each zone may be formed on a different time frame, the biggest being the 1 Month time frame, and the smallest being the 30 Minute. Each supply and demand zone is automatically labeled based on the time frame from which the zone originated.
The weakest zones are derived from the 30 minute time frame. This means the zone only took two 30 minute candles to form, which is not a lot of time for institutions to place large orders. This means that the bounces and rejections off of these zones will usually be smaller, and usually won’t last more than a few days.
Larger zones such as 1 Day, 1 Week, and 1 Month often cause large swings in the market lasting weeks, months and even years. So pay attention not just to where the demand and supply zones currently appear, but also to the strength of that zone. You can see below that the demand zone that the market bottomed in and reversed out of in 2022 was in fact, a very strong weekly zone.
What is the Significance of Supply and Demand Zone Breaks?
These zones are order-based. This means that a supply zone level doesn’t turn into demand when price action breaks above it, and demand doesn’t turn into supply when price action breaks below it. It is unlike standard trend-based support and resistance levels. If price action breaks below demand by even $0. 01 , all of the buy orders have been filled and the demand must be deleted from the chart (and vice versa for a supply zone ).
While it is possible to play these zone breaks as continuation plays off of current momentous price action, it is unpredictable how far price will go up or down after breaking supply or demand during that leg.
However, in my years of supply and demand experience, I have noticed that if demand breaks, the market will eventually come down to the next viable demand zone . This is because without a pivot caused by an institutional-created demand or supply imbalance, there is often not enough participation to cause a sustainable trend reversal for a long period of time. Below is an example of this:
Above is the 4 Hour chart of TSLA bouncing up off of a demand zone . We call this a bounce in “no man's land”, as there is no major demand bounce to support this reversal to the upside. So in theory, price action should return lower to the next major historical zone of demand before it has a chance of pulling off a solid reversal. Here is what happened:
As you can see above, TSLA did indeed end up heading back down into the next major demand zone before getting a sustainable reversal to the upside. So you may play these supply and demand zone breaks as continuation trades, either long or short, with a price target at the next major zone. Just make sure to use proper risk management and position sizing, as timing the trigger of a price target can be difficult.
How Might I Place a Trade Using the Indicator?
Now that the basics of institutional supply and demand zones have been discussed, there will come a time that this strategy must be actively applied to personal trading with a goal of becoming profitable. Here is a step-by-step process to place a trade using supply and demand paired with an example of a day trade from the 1 minute time frame.
Step 1: Find a highly institutionally traded stock that is currently in supply or demand as shown by our indicator. For example, AAPL:
Step 2: Look for an above-average (exaggerated) volume spike. Because we are in one of the green zones at the bottom of the chart, we know that we are in demand where large institutional buy orders reside. We need to wait for some of these orders to actually fill before we take our trade. This is known as volume confirmation. The color of the volume usually does not matter in this situation.
Step 3: Now that we have a volume spike which is confirmation of large orders being filled, we need more confirmation that the institutional orders are not only a buy, but large enough to actually reverse the current trend.
This is ultimately a judgment call. A few green candles may be good enough to dictate a reversal, or a trend break. It comes down to personal preference and how aggressive you would like to be. Keep in mind, the longer you wait, the more confirmation your trade has, but also, the longer you wait, the greater the risk of missing the new trend. In this example, we will use a trend line to confirm our trend reversal.
Step 4: Enter the trade. Now that you have proper demand confirmation, you may place your trade. Be sure to determine your stop loss, price target, position size, and all other risk management factors along the way.
In this example, AAPL ran all the way up to supply before rejecting; making for a perfect demand to supply call trade. Also, more short trade entries could have been taken based off of the multiple supply rejections AAPL had.
The Bottom Line
There are many ways one may go about trading the stock market. However in my years of trading and teaching, there has never been a strategy that has not only changed my career, but improved the trading careers of my students, more dramatically than Institutional Zones of Demand and Supply Imbalances.
Though charting new zones and deleting broken ones everyday was time consuming and repetitive, the results of trading these zones made it well-worth the hours of charting. However, after months of development and fine-tuning, the painful charting process has been automated by this powerful indicator, completely replacing the tedious charting work for myself and my students.
While numerous other indicators include the name “Supply and Demand Zones”, we believe that no supply and demand indicator remotely this advanced and accurate available on TradingView. I am very blessed to finally bring this revolutionary tool to the market.
Introduction to the Aurora Demand and Supply Indicator for TradingView and its Functionality
This page is dedicated to providing a thorough walk-through of our Professional Zones - Institutional Demand and Supply Imbalances indicator. The settings functionality, customizability, and purpose will be discussed to give you an in-depth understanding of the indicator. Understanding the purpose of the different functions and settings is crucial to utilizing this powerful tool at its full potential.
First Look Upon Indicator Addition
After purchasing the indicator, your chart may initially appear cluttered, zoomed out, and hard to read. But do not worry, it just means the indicator settings must be fine-tuned to optimize your experience. Tt may appear overwhelming. However this page will discuss each major customizable setting and the functionality behind it to streamline your TradingView set up.
Filter Options Settings Category
This is the first customizable feature that appears when accessing the settings of the indicator. What Filter Zone Ranges does is allow you to filter the range at which zones appear both above and below the current asset price. With this setting unchecked, every single demand and supply zone within the 5k candle limit (or 20k limit if you have a premium TradingView account) will appear on your chart. This causes chart clutter which limits the visibility of price action.
If you have this setting activated, you can choose exactly the range of zones visible to you. This range is percent based and is measured both above and below the current market price. For example, if you activate Filter Zone Ranges and set the Filter Percentage at 7%, only zones within the range of 7% above, and 7% below the current asset price will be shown.
Demand/ Supply Zone Options Settings Category
The next two categories contain the majority of the customizability for supply and demand zones. The first option in both the Demand/ Supply Zone Options is Create Demand/Supply Zones. This toggle is very straight forward, you may choose whether or not to display all demand zones, or all supply zones.
The next two options are Demand/ Supply Zone Border and Demand/ Supply Zone Fill. Again, these are straight forward. The border setting allows you to edit both the color and opacity of the zones’ border lines. The fill setting allows you to edit the color and opacity of the interior of the supply/demand boxes.
Following the first pair of visual settings, you will see Demand/ Supply Zone Box Offset. This allows you to toggle how much the indicator offsets each zone from its origin point. In other words, move it to the left or right from the point in time at which the zone was created. The 0 offset is the base setting which is actually a slight offset to the right of the origin point to ensure that the candlesticks remain unobstructed visually.
After the offset options, you will find Demand/ Supply Zone ERC Multiple. This is a key setting which inputs the value our formula utilizes to scan the areas of institutional supply and demand imbalances. Unless you are extremely experienced with supply and demand analysis or you are running backtesting, it is highly recommended this value is left at ‘2’ for both the demand and supply options.
The next two options you will see in your indicator settings are Extend Demand/ Supply Zone and Demand/ Supply Zone Size. This feature allows you to customize exactly how far your zones will extend from the point of origin into the future.
The three options on the drop down menu are Extend, Fixed, and Dynamic. Each of these options extend your zones in a different fashion. It is important to note that the value inputted in the size option is the amount of units the zones will extend to the right for both Fixed and Dynamic options. The larger this input is, the further out the zones will extend into the future, and vice versa.
The final setting in the Demand/ Supply Zone Options category is Broken Zones to Keep and Broken Demand/ Supply Zone Fill. The Broken Zones to Keep input allows you to see recent supply or demand zones that have been broken and deleted from your chart. This may be useful for a trader in a few different ways. The Broken Demand/ Supply Zone Fill setting allows you to customize the number of broken zones displayed as well as their color and opacity. The most prominent example of this option’s utility is for traders that do not observe price action during the entirety of the market open.
If an individual left their charts for a few hours and missed a demand break, it may give the illusion that there was never a demand there and price action has been in “no-man's land” all day. However if that individual inputted ‘1’ in the Broken Zones to Keep setting, they would be able to see that a demand has broken. This may be useful as the trader may have an altered sentiment after knowing that a zone did in fact break.
Note: the value inputted is the amount of previously broken zones that will appear on your chart. For example, if the value ‘3’ is inputted, the three most recently broken zones will appear on your chart.
Time Frame Options Settings Category
Time Frame Options Settings allows you to toggle which supply and demand zones appear on your chart by time frame. For example, if you are analyzing a chart on a larger time frame such as the daily or weekly, the small 30 minute and 45 minute zones will often clutter your chart. By deselecting the weaker and smaller time frame zones, it will clean your chart up, allowing you to only see the zones that assist your analysis.
However the first two options in the category are unique.The first is Show Forming Zones. This option is extremely useful if you are watching price action play out live, when seeing the possibility of a supply or demand zone forming may be of benefit during your day trading. By toggling this setting ON, you will see all possible supply and demand zones forming in real time. However, this could cause clutter if multiple zones are forming at once in which case, toggling it off may be more beneficial.
The second option in the Timeframe Options category is the Show Zones Inside toggle, which controls the table at the top right of your screen (you may get rid of this table by deselecting tables in display settings).
This setting simply is a “yes” or “no” as to whether or not the table located at the top right of your screen will display the number of zones price action is currently sitting in. This setting is useful as zones may sometimes pile up on top of one another, making it hard to know exactly how many zones price action is currently sitting in.
Gap Options Settings Category
Just below the Timeframe Options category, is the Gap Options category. Gaps appear when two daily candles highs and lows do not overlap. These are often created when a catalyst is released into the market overnight causing a large move, resulting in a “gap” up or down the next morning.
A Gap often forms due to a strong move to the upside, and the indicator highlights this gap with a gray box. Gaps are important to many traders as there is often a large lack of liquidity inside the gap area, which often acts as a magnet that attracts future price action to fill it. If toggled on, the indicator displays the gap among the supply and demand zones seamlessly. The rest of the settings for this category are options to customize the color, opacity, size, and offset. These have the same effect as the options in the Demand/ Supply Zone Options category.
Text Options Settings Category
The final category in the indicator input settings is Text Options. This category allows you to toggle zone labeling on or off, and to specify how you would like the zone labels to appear. It’s strongly recommended that zone labeling is left ON because knowing the time frame a supply or demand zone originated from is a massive indicator of its strength. Top right alignment causes labeling such as “3H” to appear at the top right of each zone.
Indicator Data Limitations
There are a few limitations of TradingView which impact the Professional Zones - Institutional Supply and Demand Imbalances indicator. The first is the data TradingView provides to its users. With a basic TradingView account, a user only has access to 5,000 candles of data. So if a user is on the 1 minute time frame, that user can only see 5,000 candles before that current point. This is important because our advanced indicator scans historical price action that has formed supply and demand zones and displays it on your chart. This means that if a user is on a 1 minute time frame chart, they will only be able to see zones formed within the last 5,000 candles. Older supply and demand zones can not be displayed. However if a user has the Premium TradingView subscription, they can access up to 20,000 candles, which greatly increases the potential zones the user may see on the smaller time frames.
To counter this, we strongly recommend checking the larger time frames before starting your trading day, as there could be an old zone lurking behind the scenes. Once you spot it on the 30 minute time frame, for example, you may easily take note of the demand zone and its location.
The Bottom Line
This indicator has been intricately and powerfully designed to not only display institutional supply and demand imbalances more accurately and efficiently than any other TradingView indicator, but it has also been designed to give the user full control. Full control means the user has the ability to customize the appearance and inputs, as well as toggle specific objects visible to the trader.
We have meticulously designed the Professional Zones - Institutional Supply and Demand Imbalances indicator to be extremely valuable as a stand-alone strategy, as well as versatile enough to incorporate multiple other trading strategies on top of supply and demand .
However, in order for this indicator to be utilized by you at its full potential, it is important that you understand all of its features, capabilities and configuration options before you dive into trading.
WaveTrend 3D█ OVERVIEW
WaveTrend 3D (WT3D) is a novel implementation of the famous WaveTrend (WT) indicator and has been completely redesigned from the ground up to address some of the inherent shortcomings associated with the traditional WT algorithm.
█ BACKGROUND
The WaveTrend (WT) indicator has become a widely popular tool for traders in recent years. WT was first ported to PineScript in 2014 by the user @LazyBear, and since then, it has ascended to become one of the Top 5 most popular scripts on TradingView.
The WT algorithm appears to have origins in a lesser-known proprietary algorithm called Trading Channel Index (TCI), created by AIQ Systems in 1986 as an integral part of their commercial software suite, TradingExpert Pro. The software’s reference manual states that “TCI identifies changes in price direction” and is “an adaptation of Donald R. Lambert’s Commodity Channel Index (CCI)”, which was introduced to the world six years earlier in 1980. Interestingly, a vestige of this early beginning can still be seen in the source code of LazyBear’s script, where the final EMA calculation is stored in an intermediate variable called “tci” in the code.
█ IMPLEMENTATION DETAILS
WaveTrend 3D is an alternative implementation of WaveTrend that directly addresses some of the known shortcomings of the indicator, including its unbounded extremes, susceptibility to whipsaw, and lack of insight into other timeframes.
In the canonical WT approach, an exponential moving average (EMA) for a given lookback window is used to assess the variability between price and two other EMAs relative to a second lookback window. Since the difference between the average price and its associated EMA is essentially unbounded, an arbitrary scaling factor of 0.015 is typically applied as a crude form of rescaling but still fails to capture 20-30% of values between the range of -100 to 100. Additionally, the trigger signal for the final EMA (i.e., TCI) crossover-based oscillator is a four-bar simple moving average (SMA), which further contributes to the net lag accumulated by the consecutive EMA calculations in the previous steps.
The core idea behind WT3D is to replace the EMA-based crossover system with modern Digital Signal Processing techniques. By assuming that price action adheres approximately to a Gaussian distribution, it is possible to sidestep the scaling nightmare associated with unbounded price differentials of the original WaveTrend method by focusing instead on the alteration of the underlying Probability Distribution Function (PDF) of the input series. Furthermore, using a signal processing filter such as a Butterworth Filter, we can eliminate the need for consecutive exponential moving averages along with the associated lag they bring.
Ideally, it is convenient to have the resulting probability distribution oscillate between the values of -1 and 1, with the zero line serving as a median. With this objective in mind, it is possible to borrow a common technique from the field of Machine Learning that uses a sigmoid-like activation function to transform our data set of interest. One such function is the hyperbolic tangent function (tanh), which is often used as an activation function in the hidden layers of neural networks due to its unique property of ensuring the values stay between -1 and 1. By taking the first-order derivative of our input series and normalizing it using the quadratic mean, the tanh function performs a high-quality redistribution of the input signal into the desired range of -1 to 1. Finally, using a dual-pole filter such as the Butterworth Filter popularized by John Ehlers, excessive market noise can be filtered out, leaving behind a crisp moving average with minimal lag.
Furthermore, WT3D expands upon the original functionality of WT by providing:
First-class support for multi-timeframe (MTF) analysis
Kernel-based regression for trend reversal confirmation
Various options for signal smoothing and transformation
A unique mode for visualizing an input series as a symmetrical, three-dimensional waveform useful for pattern identification and cycle-related analysis

Four Block Zone - Oliver VelezThis is pretty straight forward indicator as explained by Oliver Velez ... Be bullish if price crosses upper band and bearish if crosses lower band.. that's it.
Slow but limitless moving averagesThis aproach shows how to execute diffrent MAs with diffrent lenghts conditionaly with only one MA function call. Current method allows to swap inputs of functions on the fly, but due to pinescript limitations calculation is slow. Publishing this script like an indicator not a libriary because i am working on better calculation method that can be evaluated, also data collecting and processing can be optimised, BUT its still extrimely useful aproach if you dont need to calculate (and swap inputs condtionaly for) more than 8 HTF MAs on every bar.
Super Synchronicity x Musa MoneyThe goal of this indicator is to display a simple and easy method that gives traders a logical strategy that can be applied in many different ways.
This indicator uses fractal support and resistance created by close above or close below candle structures. This indicator displays sell/buy boxes that represents entries and take profit levels. It also shows multi-timeframe breakouts and structure points. In an buy box (green) the bottom of the box symbolizes the stop loss and the top of the box symbolizes the buy entry. In a sell box (red) the bottom of the box symbolizes the entry and the top of the box symbolizes the stop loss. The lines drawn are support and resistance areas on current and higher timeframe showing market structure and trend.
How to use it:
You must choose a higher timeframe and a lower timeframe. The lower timeframe will be in synchronicity with the higher timeframes trend. The boxes that appear will either be green or red depending on the higher timeframes trend. These boxes will represent your entries. The lavender boxes represents your exit. The dark colored boxes represents a higher probability trade than the light colored boxes bases on market structure (higher highs and higher lows or lower higher and lower lows).
VWAP & Previous VWAP - MTF█ Volume Weighted Average Price & Previous Volume Weighted Average Price - Multi Timeframe
This script can display the daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, yearly and rolling VWAP but also the previous ones.
█ Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP)
The VWAP is a technical analysis tool used to measure the average price weighted by volume.
VWAP is typically used with intraday charts as a way to determine the general direction of intraday prices.
VWAP is similar to a moving average in that when price is above VWAP, prices are rising and when price is below VWAP, prices are falling.
VWAP is primarily used by technical analysts to identify market trends.
█ Rolling VWAP
The typical VWAP is designed to be used on intraday charts, as it resets at the beginning of the day.
Such VWAPs cannot be used on daily, weekly or monthly charts. Instead, this rolling VWAP uses a time period that automatically adjusts to the chart's timeframe.
You can thus use the rolling VWAP on any chart that includes volume information in its data feed.
Because the rolling VWAP uses a moving window, it does not exhibit the jumpiness of VWAP plots that reset.
For the version with standard deviation bands.
